Soil map of North Rhine-Westphalia 1: 100 000 (BK 100)

The scientifically based soil mapping (soil inventory) with the publication of soil maps is the most important basis for soil use, soil protection and soil research. These are surface data of soil-based mapping for the distribution and characteristics of the soils. They are the basis for the ground map 1: 100 000. The Ground Map of North Rhine-Westphalia 1: 100 000 (BK 100) represent the distribution of soils grouped into soil units in the leafy area. The map legend contains for each floor unit information on the soil type stratification up to 2 m depth, the soil types and the geological base rock. A special column shows the values of soil estimation, suitability for use, yieldability and workability, as well as the water conditions of the soils. To the sheets of the ground cards 1: There are 100 000 explanatory booklets in which the soils, including their chemical and physical characteristics, are described in detail. The soil maps form an important basis for tasks in agriculture, forestry, land planning, land maintenance, water management and nature conservation, as well as for research, teaching and teaching. This work of charts was started in the 70s of the 20th century and after the publication of the two existing sheets in favor of the BK 50 no longer continued. The soil contents correspond to those of BK 50. The soil types (after initial substrate) and soil species layering up to 2 m depth are key parameters. Both maps have appeared with detailed explanations on the factors of soil formation and the different soil units including layers.
