Carbon-rich soils in Lower Saxony 1: 50 000 with sealed surfaces - floor type description
Description
The soil type map shows the soils with carbon-rich horizons (moor soils and soils with peat horizons) and has more than 30 soil types. For some units, the carbon-rich horizons are not mentioned in the soil type, although they are determinant of the soil type. In these cases, the carbon-rich horizons usually occur only in deeper sections of the profile. In total, about 150 soil forms (soil type plus substrate with different thicknesses = legend units) are shown in the map.
The soil map BK50 describes the distribution of the soils of Lower Saxony on a scale of 1: 50,000 according to the latest state of the soil information available at the LBEG. The soil map shows a relatively high spatial differentiation of the soil types for its scale and takes into account the most up-to-date knowledge on the distribution of the bogs at the time of preparation, including the earthing stages and peat succession soils as well as cultivated soils such as deep breaks, plaggen ash, spitted culture soils, marsh hoof soils.
Moor soils are particularly dynamic and change rapidly due to cultural-technical measures. Drainage creates an aerobic area in the peat body, which initiates processes such as sacking, peat shrinkage and decomposition and leads to a loss of peat thickness (earthing processes in the peat bog). The present map can only show these changes with a delay.
It should be noted that the map is an overview. It can be used to gain an overview of the carbon-rich soils of Lower Saxony or to identify search rooms. On the other hand, it cannot be a basis for clear-cut, regional statements.
