Dataset description

The interoperable INSPIRE download service provides an overview of the humus content in the upper soil. The map is based on the legend units of the soil overview map with assignment of parameterised surface soil shapes determined by terrain and laboratory tests. For this purpose, the parameters were statistically derived for the same horizontal-substrate combinations. The humus contents of the horizontal-substrate combinations of surface soil shapes were classified according to the Soil Clinical Carting Instructions, 5th edition, Hannover 2005, Tab. 15. Due to the dominance of agricultural land in Brandenburg, the humus classification for agricultural use was applied nationwide. The service represents the classified values for the upper floor. These are usually the values of the top mineral or bog floor horizons. At different values for the surface soil shapes of the respective legend unit, humus content classes were averaged weighted. 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 with information on the organisation involved in the process (LBGR), — derived soil object with information on the observation of the soil property to describe the derived soil object, —Observation of a soil property indicating the character of the soil-derived object, the observed property, the soil-derived observation of soil-related properties, the result of observations of the derived soil object, — Soil bodies, demarcated and with respect to certain soil characteristics and/or spatial patterns of homogeneous part of the floor ceiling; and — Soil layer with information on the assignment of the layer to a term corresponding to its nature, to the derived profile, 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 provides an overview of the organic matter content in the top soil. The map is based on the legend units of the soil map with corresponding assignment of parameterised soil forms determined by field and laboratory investigations. For the same horizon-substrate combinations, the corresponding parameters were statistically derived. The organic matter content of the horizon-substrate combinations of soil forms was classified according to the Soil Science Mapping Guide, 5th edition, Hanover 2005, Tab. 15. Due to the dominance of agricultural areas in Brandenburg, the organic matter classification for agricultural use was applied area-wide. The map represents the classified values for the topsoil. The content of the soil map is compliant to the INSPIRE data specification for the annex theme Geology (D2.8.III.3_v3.0). The WFS includes the following feature types: —Observation process with information about the organisation involved in the process (LBGR), Soil derived object with information on the observation of the soil property for characterising the soil derived object, Observations of a soil derived object with information about the character of the soil derived object, the observed property, the soil derived observation of soil related properties, the result of the observations of the soil derived object, 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 with information about the assignation of the layer according to the concept that fits its kind, to the derived soil profile, which serves as a reference profile for a particular type of soil in a specific geographical area, including the upper and lower depth of the profile element from the surface (0 cm) of a soil profile (in cm).
