Location units of the forestry location map in Saxony (area-by-area)
Description
The geodata visualize the findings (location information) of the forestry site exploration in the Free State of Saxony. Mapping unit is the site form. It brings together similar individual sites with the same ecological value.
The characteristics of a site form are recorded independently of each other. Its most important subunits are the local soil and water balance forms (subdivided for groundwater, congestion and relief-related (leakage water imprinted) water balance forms). The local floor shapes are encrypted by 3 to 4-digit letter combinations. The immediately following digits symbolize the characteristics of water house shapes.
The large number of subunit combinations is further aggregated for practical forestry applications. With regard to tree species selection and growth conditions, equivalent site types are merged into a site type group. The site type groups are the basic site reference units for forest planning and measures.
The site shape group consists of the soil moisture level, the nutrient strength level (trophyte) and a moisture number and is primarily represented by the combination of two uppercase letters and a number on the maps.
The ‘substrate moisture level’ was developed as a further evaluation feature. It is essentially a derivation from the mapping characteristics of the local soil forms and associated soil physical measured values.
The existing forest site mapbook is the result of a uniform method development for East Germany since the 1950s and the mapping based on it in several stages.
On the basis of the Saxon Forest Act, the Free State of Saxony is responsible, regardless of the type of forest ownership, for updating the forest location map, including the location-related processing of the forests. The implementation is the responsibility of the state enterprise Sachsenforst.
