IS BK5 Soil map for agricultural site exploration of NRW 1: 5,000 - data set

Data set of the IS BK5 soil map for the agricultural site exploration of NRW 1: 5,000. The dataset reproduces the content of all digitally processed large-scale soil maps of agricultural land, 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. Pedological information of neighboring forest areas can be taken from the WMS of the BK5 for forest site exploration. When the information is called up from a GIS, each individual area is described on an information page with a plain text output 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, seepage water rate, optimal distance to groundwater, erodibility of the soil topsoil, capillary rise of groundwater, usable field capacity, field capacity, air capacity, saturated water conductivity, seepage suitability, cation exchange capacity and other evaluations.
