Rhineland-Palatinate received an independent Land Soil Protection Act (LBodSchG) on 2 August 2005. This describes the structure and content of the Rhineland-Palatinate Soil Information System (BIS RP). Furthermore, the designation of soil protection and soil pollution areas is envisaged. These designations are also associated with provisions of territorial measures to be carried out there. The brochure Protectable and vulnerable soils in Rhineland-Palatinate primarily provides basic information on natural functions, archival functions and the agricultural use function of the soil. The maps of this work are compiled in a Mapserver application. Detailed information on the individual soil functions can be found in the brochure http://www.mwkel.rlp.de/Bodenschutz/Vorsorgender-Bodenschutz/Broschuere-Schutzwuerdige-und-schutzbeduerftige-Boeden/. In order to measure the degree of protection and the need for protection of soils in Rhineland-Palatinate, easy-to-use and generally accepted methods for evaluating the individual soil functions were used. Soils that are particularly worthy of protection should be filtered out, which should be protected from further degradation and destruction.
