Average element content in the Upper Soil Brandenburg

For some selected environmental elements, maps of mean grades (median values/P50) in the upper soil (OB) are shown. The basis is the analytical data for approximately 2000 soil profiles absorbed and irregularly distributed across the territory according to the Soil History Carting Instructions (KA 5) — royal water soluble content in dry matter fine soil (less 2 mm) for arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn); Total mercury content (Hg). The content presented was for scale 1: 300,000 created and are larger for representations in scales 1: 100,000 are not suitable. The map is based on the legend units of the soil overview map assigned to the grades corresponding to the median for the dominant land forms involved. The salary classes of each single card legend for OB are determined by the range of all values for the element in question.
