BFD50 – Nitrate Retention – OGC API Features

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.:The nitrate retention capacity of the soil is evaluated in particular on the basis of the field capacity in the rootable soil space [FKDB] and the influence of the water reservoir. Climate parameters are not included, so that only a statement about the soil, but not about the location can be made.
