Search room backdrop Moor restoration (LEP 2013)

For the Free State of Saxony, a comprehensive overview of the moors and other organic wet sites from the SIMON project (DITTRICH et al. 2011 https://www.boden.sachsen.de/erstellung-fachkonzept-landesweites-informationssystem-moore-und-organische-nassstandorte-simon-18146.html). For this purpose, in addition to areas covered by the soil-based peat definition (> 30 cm peat), also recorded soils with flatter peat pads (from soil maps, geological maps) and moor-typical wet biotopes (moor-typical biotopes from selective biotope mapping, moor-typical FFH habitat types, partly without proven peat cover) and formed the maximum area from all the map bases used. The moorlands of Saxony were thus defined not purely soil-related, but ecosystemar, including the moor biotopes and peat-forming vegetation. These areas are grouped as bog complexes and form the search room backdrop for restorations of moor and wet sites. The data represent the moor complexes in a differentiated manner where: a) a moor-typical vegetation has been mapped on a moor-typical abiotic site (3 700 ha or 8 percent of the moor complex area) these are those still relatively close to nature according to a first rough estimate, b) a moortypic site is mapped, but no near-natural moortypic biotopes (more) are present (27 000 ha or 57.5 percent, c) moortypic biotopes or FFH-LRT are mapped, but soil and geological maps do not show a moor-typical location (16 100 ha, 34.5 percent) they are areas with only flat or without proven peat cover or small areas.
