Description

The Download Service (WFS) Medium element contents in the topsoil and subsoil of Brandenburg provides data on medium element contents in the topsoil and subsoil of Brandenburg and for some selected environmentally relevant elements the maps of the medium contents (median values / P50) in the a) topsoil (OB) and in the b) subsoil (UG). The analytical data are based on approximately 2000 soil profiles recorded in accordance with soil mapping instructions (KA 5) and distributed irregularly over the country territory - royal water soluble contents in dry matter fine soil (less than 2 mm) for arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn); Total levels of mercury (Hg). The map is based on the legend units of the soil map, which were assigned to the salary classes according to the median for the dominant of the surface soil shapes involved. The salary classes, which are uniform for OB and UG respectively, depend on the range of all values for the respective element. The legend units have been designed in such a way that the contents increase from green to yellow to brown. As there are only a few and highly scattering values for anthropogenic soils, settlement areas were assigned ‘no data’ (grey). The map representations are supplemented by a tabular overview of the average grades used and their color design.
