Inspire Download Service: Floor/Retention Areas Flood Brandenburg (WFS-SO-RETENTION)

The interoperable INSPIRE download service (WFS) Soil (retention areas flooding Brandenburg) provides an extensive overview of the retention potential of soils during flooding in Brandenburg. This map is based on the legend units of the floor overview map (BÜK300) and the soil form society shown per legend unit. The following floors of the legend units were taken into account in the map: (1) Gley soils in holocene floodplains with high retention potential, (2) predominantly Gley soils with high retention potential, (3) predominantly veneered soils with partial retention potential, (4) areas with predominantly widespread low bog soils mostly in lowlands, (0) no retention-relevant soils. 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: — Process with details of the organisation involved in the process (LBGR), — derived soil object (SoilDerivedObject) with information on the observation of the soil property to describe the derived soil object, — Observation of a soil property (OM_Observation) indicating the character of the soil-derived object, the observed property, the soil-derived observation of soil-related properties (retention potential), 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 — SoilLayer with information on the assignment of the layer to a term corresponding to its type, the derived profile (DerivedSoilProfile), 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 a comprehensive overview of the retention potentials of soils during floods in the State of Brandenburg. This map is based on the legend units of the soil map (BÜK300) and the soil forms represented by legend unit. The following soils of the legend units were considered in the map: (1) Gley soils in holocene floodplains with high retention potential, (2) predominantly Gley soils with high retention potential, (3) predominantly Gleyic soils with partial retention potential, (4) areas with predominantly widespread peat soils mostly in lowland areas, (0) no retention-relevant soils. 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 (Process) with information about the organisation involved in the process (LBGR), Soil derived object (SoilDerivedObject) with information on the observation of the soil property for characterising the soil derived object, Observations of a soil derived object (OM_Observation) with information about the character of the soil derived object, the observed property, the soil derived observation of soil related properties (retentionpotential), 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 (SoilLayer) with information about the assignation of the layer according to the concept that fits its kind, to the derived soil profile (DerivedSoilProfile), 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).
