BFD50 – Location typing – 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 soil data can be used to exclude areas that have extreme location conditions in relation to the water, air and nutrient balance as well as the base supply. These areas have a high local biotope development potential with extensive land use. (https://www.lgb-rlp.de/fileadmin/service/lgb_downloads/boden/bfd200_methodenbeschriebe/bfd200_biotop.pdf)
