Inspire Download Service: Floor/Medium Thermal Conductivity Brandenburg (WFS-SO-WAERMELEITF)

The interoperable INSPIRE download service (WFS) Soil provides an overview of the thermal conductivity at Permanent Welke Point (PWP) — in late summer, thermal conductivity at field capacity (FK) — in spring, and the difference in thermal conductivity at field capacity (FK) — permanent weld point (PWP). The thermal conductivity determines the property of the soil to transport thermal energy through reduction. It is the decisive parameter for the use of the soil as a heat source and storage and must be taken into account, among other things, in the application of near-surface geothermal energy (earth heat collectors) or in the construction of ground-mounted power cables. The pedotransfer function (PTF) according to Markert et al. (2017) used. According to the INSPIRE data specification Soil (D2.8.III.3_v3.0), the contents of the floor map are INSPIRE-compliant. The WFS includes the following feature types: — Monitoring process with information on the organisation involved in the process (LBGR), — derived soil object with information on the observation of the soil property to describe the derived soil object, —Observation of a soil property indicating the character of the soil-derived object, the observed property, the soil-derived observation of soil-related properties, the result of observations of the derived soil object, — Soil bodies, demarcated and with respect to certain soil characteristics and/or spatial patterns of homogeneous part of the floor ceiling; and — Soil layer with information on the assignment of the layer to a term corresponding to its nature, to the derived profile, which serves as the reference profile for a particular type of soil in a given geographical area, the upper and lower depth of the profile element, measured from the surface (0 cm) of a soil profile (in cm). — The compliant INSPIRE download service (WFS) Soil provides an overview of the thermal conductivity at permanent wilting point (PWP) — in late summer, the thermal conductivity at field capacity (FK) — in spring, and the difference in thermal conductivity at field capacity (FK) — permanent wilting point (PWP). The thermal conductivity determines the property of the soil to transport thermal energy by conduction. It is the decisive parameter for the use of the soil as a heat source and storage and, among other things, have to be taken into account when using near-surface geothermal energy (geothermal collectors) or when building underground power cables. To calculate the thermal conductivity, the Pedotransfer function (PTF) according to Markert et al. (2017) was used. The content of the soil map is compliant to the INSPIRE data specification for the annex theme Soil (D2.8.III.3_v3.0). The WFS includes the following feature types: —Observation process with information about the organisation involved in the process (LBGR), Soil derived object with information on the observation of the soil property for characterising the soil derived object, Observations of a soil derived object with information about the character of the soil derived object, the observed property, the soil derived observation of soil related properties, the result of the observations of the soil derived object, Soil Body, part of the soil cover that is delineated and that is homogeneous with regard to certain soil properties and/or spatial patterns, and Soil layer with information about the assignation of the layer according to the concept that fits its kind, to the derived soil profile, which serves as a reference profile for a particular type of soil in a specific geographical area, including the upper and lower depth of the profile element from the surface (0 cm) of a soil profile (in cm).
