IS BK 5 soil map for forest site exploration of NRW 1: 5,000 - data set

Data set of the IS BK 5 soil map for forest site exploration of NRW 1 : 5,000. The data set reflects the content of all digitally processed large-scale soil maps, mostly at a scale of 1 : 5,000. For this purpose, the individual pedological mapping projects ("procedures") were integrated into a largely uninterrupted overall package. Because the large-scale soil map was not created across the board, the dataset also shows white, unmapped areas. Medium-scale pedological information for these areas can be found in the BK50 data set. When information is called up from a GIS, each individual area is described with regard to soil unit, simplified soil type, soil type group of the topsoil, waterlogging, groundwater (former and current level), soils worthy of protection, root penetration, forest site characteristics, necessity of soil protection liming, optimal distance to groundwater, erodability of the topsoil , capillary rise of groundwater, usable field capacity, field capacity, air capacity, saturated water conductivity, seepage suitability, cation exchange capacity and other evaluations.
