Soil characteristics (Germany) from the soil overview map 1:200.000 – Effective rooting depth (subsoil) (data set)
Description
The data set contains information on the effective rooting depth (= effective root space (We), in dm) in relation to the subsoil of the soils in Germany. The basis for the compilation of the data set is the land overview map on a scale of 1:200,000 (BÜK 200), which is available in a harmonised manner throughout Germany, provided by the BGR (2021); (https://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/topics/ground/information bases/soil_maps_databases/BUEK200/buek200_node.html). These are averages derived from the profiles of a BÜK polygon present in the BÜK200 for specific land use purposes. The data are not absolutely valid results, but are in the context of the methodological assumptions in the creation and processing of the source data. The soil characteristic value was derived on the basis of the soil mapping instructions (KA5; Ad hoc Working Group on Soil (2005): Soil mapping instructions (KA 5). Ad hoc working group soil of the geological state offices and the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources of the Federal Republic of Germany, Hanover.). A basic description of the methodological approach can be found in (publication of the final report). This parameter is currently used for the further development of water balance modelling with the model LARSIM (the BfG).
