Description
The soil overview map in scale 1:50.000 (BK50) provides an overview of the distribution of soil and soil-forming substrates for the entire area of Rhineland-Palatinate. The near-surface subsurface is depicted to a depth of two metres. Due to scale, the legend units of the soil map are composed of soil form societies (BFG), which are described via several use-differentiated soil forms (BF). The leading soil shape is the soil shape that has the largest area in a BFG. The field capacity (FK) refers to the amount of water that a naturally stored soil can retain against gravity. It also includes the so-called dead water, which is not usable for vegetation due to its high suction voltage (pF > 4.2).
