Inspire – BFD50 – Site typing for biotope development

The soil overview map in scale 1:50.000 (BK50) provides an overview of the distribution of soil and soil-forming substrates for the entire state area of Rhineland-Palatinate. The near-surface subsoil is shown down to a depth of two meters. Due to the scale, the legend units of the soil map are composed of soil forming societies (BFG), which are described via several different uses-differentiated soil forms (BF). The guide floor form is the soil shape, which has the largest part of the area in a BFG. At the same time, their designation forms the name of the BFG.:area areas with special or extreme site characteristics (due to the water and nutrient balance), which are particularly suitable for biotope development.
