Soils as balancing body in the water balance 2021-2050 “No climate protection” scenario (RCP8.5)
Description
The map shows the assessment of soils as balancing bodies in the water balance for the 30-year period 2021-2050 under the “No climate protection” scenario (RCP8.5).
Basically, all unsealed soils are a balancing body in the water balance (AKWH). They absorb water and give it back in time. In addition, water is passed through them to deeper layers. The soils thus act as intermediate reservoirs in the landscape water balance. The method summarises all the components, e.g. the water conductivity and the water retention capability into an evaluation scheme for assessing the retention of water in the soil. Central is the assessment of retention performance and infiltration performance.
The climate models are powered by the “No Climate Protection” scenario (RCP8.5). This is a scenario of the IPCC, which describes a continuous increase in global greenhouse gas emissions, which by the end of the 21st century generates an additional radiative forcing of 8.5 watts per m² compared to pre-industrial levels.
The results of all climate models are equally likely. Therefore, in addition to the mean that shows a tendency, the upper (maximum) and lower (minimum) edges of the result bandwidth can be retrieved via the MapTip.
