Industrial drainage areas in Lower Saxony (after 1945) 1: 50 000

Peat mining is changing high moor sites sustainably and profoundly. The map shows the distribution and follow-up use of land that has been ploughed industrially or for which there is currently a peat permit. An industrial peat removal of at least 0.8 m after 1945 until today is reliably documented for the areas shown. The follow-up use refers to the current use or, in the case of uncompleted storage, to the subsequent use provided for in the mining permit (land use or land direction for nature conservation objectives). Data from the moor protection programs (I and III), the licensing and advisory authorities as well as the use (ATKIS® and InVeKoS) were evaluated and merged uniformly during the creation of maps. The map of areas with industrial peat extraction covers an area of approximately 53000 hectares in Lower Saxony, covering about one-sixth of the areas of the bog bogs or moor moor treposols, which mainly comprise sand-mixed crops. A detailed description of the methodology of data preparation and map creation can be found in GeoReport 38.泥炭开采正对高位沼泽地（high moor）造成持久且深刻的改变。本数据集配套的地图展示了经工业化开垦、或当前持有泥炭开采许可的土地的分布与后续利用情况。对于图中所示区域，已有可靠记录证实：1945年至今，当地已完成至少0.8米厚度的工业化泥炭剥离作业。 此处的“后续利用”指土地当前的实际使用状态；若开采作业尚未完成储层搭建，则指开采许可中规定的后续利用方案（即服务于自然保护目标的土地用途规划或土地利用导向）。本地图制作过程中，研究人员对来自沼泽保护计划（I与III）、许可与咨询机构的相关数据，以及土地利用数据集（ATKIS®与InVeKoS）进行了统一评估与整合。 该工业化泥炭开采区域地图覆盖下萨克森州约5.3万公顷土地，占该区域内沼泽湿地或泥炭潜育土（treposols）总面积的约六分之一，此类土壤主要为砂质混合耕作土。 有关数据整理与地图制作方法的详细说明，请参阅《GeoReport 38》。
