Land map of Schleswig-Holstein 1:25 000

The soil map of Schleswig-Holstein 1:25.000 represents soil forms for about half of the country. Each surface is assigned a surface-dominant soil shape. Accompanying floors are not listed. In addition to the soil types, the map contains information on the dominant substrate genesis, soil species stratification, soil exit rock and groundwater level as well as possible anthropogenic changes or peculiarities. The soils are described up to 2 m under terrain surface. The map is based on analogue single map sheets of the map work Bodenkarte 1:25.000 from Schleswig-Holstein. This map work has been created over the course of over 50 years of ground mapping in Schleswig-Holstein and has been developed in recent years into a digital, leaf-free map with a uniform legend. The legend is based on the soil mapping instructions (Ad-hoc-AG Boden 2005). For the map there is an extensive profile database with usage-differentiated idealised guide profiles, which allows the user to use many introduced soil analysis methods (cf. method documentation Bodenkunde 2000 with updates 2012).
