Inspire Download Service: Soil/Agricultural yield potential of the State of Brandenburg (WFS-SO-BOERTRAG)

The interoperable INSPIRE download service (WFS) Soil (Agricultural Yield Potential of the State of Brandenburg) provides an overview of the suitability of soils for agricultural use in Brandenburg optimised for scale 1: 300 000. According to the INSPIRE data specification Soil (D2.8.III.3_v3.0), the contents of the floor map are INSPIRE-compliant. The WFS includes the following feature types: — Monitoring process (so:process) with information on the organisation involved in the process (LBGR), — derived soil object (so:SoilDerivedObject) with information on the observation of the soil property to describe the derived soil object (soilDerivedObjectObservation), — Observation of a soil property (so:OM_Observation) with information on the character of the soil-derived object, the observed property (observedProperty), soil-related properties (SoilDerivedObjectParameterNameValue: yieldPotential), the result of observations of the derived soil object (RangeType), — Soil bodies, demarcated and with respect to certain soil characteristics and/or spatial patterns of homogeneous part of the floor ceiling; and — Soil layer (so:SoilLayer) with information on the assignment of the layer to a term corresponding to its type (LayerTypeValue: depthInterval), to the derived profile (so: DerivedSoilProfile), which serves as the reference profile for a particular type of soil in a given geographical area, the upper and lower depth of the profile element, measured from the surface (0 cm) of a soil profile (in cm). — The compliant INSPIRE download service (WFS) Soil provides an overview of the suitability of the soil for the agricultural yield usage in Brandenburg, optimised for the scale 1: 300,000. In the case of inadequate data bases, the data were obtained using the values from the tables of the Bodenkundliche Kartier Anleitung, 3 rd edition, Hanover 1982 (AG Bodenkunde) for water movement, Tab. 43 using the correlation rule 1.12 (method documentation Bodenkunde, Hennings et al 2000). The content of the soil map is compliant to the INSPIRE data specification for the annex theme Soil (D2.8.III.3_v3.0). The WFS includes the following feature types: Observation process (so:Process) with information about the organisation involved in the process (LBGR), Soil derived object (so:SoilDerivedObject) with information on the observation of the soil property for characterising the soil derived object(soilDerivedObservation), Observations of a soil derived object (so:OM_Observation) with information about the character of the soil derived object, the observed property, the soil derived observation of soil related properties (SoilDerivedObjectParameterNameValue: yieldPotential), the result of the observations of the soil derived object (RangeType), Soil body, part of the soil cover that is delineated and that is homogeneous with regard to certain soil properties and/or spatial patterns, and Soil layer (so:SoilLayer) with information about the assignation of the layer according to the concept fits that its kind (LayerTypeValue: depthInterval), to the derived soil profile (so: DerivedSoilProfile), which serves as a reference profile for a particular type of soil in a geographical area, including the upper and lower depth of the profile element from the surface (0 cm) of a soil profile (in cm).
