Is BK 5 Ground Map for Forestry Site Sensing of NRW 1: 5,000 — dataset

Dataset of the IS BK 5 Ground Map for Forestry Site Sensing of NRW 1: 5.000. The data set gives the contents of all digitally processed large-scale ground maps, usually in scale 1: 5,000, again. For this purpose, the individual soil mapping projects (“procedures”) were integrated into a largely break-free overall package. Because the large-scale floor map was not created nationwide, the data set also shows white, uncharted areas. For these areas, medium-scale soil information can be extracted from the BK50 dataset. Each individual area is described upon retrieval of information from a GIS with regard to soil unit, simplified soil type, soil type group of the upper soil, dams, groundwater (former and current stage), soil worthy of protection, rootability, forest location characteristics, need for soil protection limescale, optimum land clearance, erodibility of the upper floor, capillary ascent of groundwater, usable field capacity, field capacity, air capacity, saturated water conductivity, leachability, cation exchange capacity and further evaluations.
