Biogeographical Region — INSPIRE Download-Service BR (WFS-LfU-BR-NATRAUM)

The interoprable INSPIRE download service (WFS) Biogeographic Region provides an overview of Brandenburg’s natural region. This consists of the natural spatial division according to Scholz (1962) and the natural spatial regions of the landscape programme. Brandenburg’s natural area structure according to Scholz includes the geometry and textual designation of 76 natural space subunits in terms of geology, climate, relief, soil, hydrology, water, land use and natural vegetation. This spatial structure is primarily used for nature conservation tasks. The natural regions of the Landscape Programme (LAPRO) Brandenburg were compiled on the basis of the publication “The Natural Spatial Division of Brandenburg” (Eberhard Scholz 1962). According to the INSPIRE data specification Bio-geographical Regions (D2.8.III.17_v3.0) the contents of the natural space map INSPIRE are available. The WFS includes the FeatureType Bio-geographicalRegion. The WebFeatureService (WFS) is provided in versions 1.1.0 and 2.0.0.
