Inspire View Service: Floor/Retention Areas Flood Brandenburg (WMS-SO-RETENTION)

The interoperable INSPIRE representation service (WMS) Soil (retention areas flooding Brandenburg) provides an extensive overview of the retention potential of soils in the event of floods 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 WMS includes the following layers: — SO.retentionPotential: Retention areas Flooding describes the potential of areas to reduce and delay outflows during flooding events. — SO.SoilBody: Demarcated and with respect to certain soil characteristics and/or spatial patterns of homogeneous part of the floor ceiling. — The compliant INSPIRE view service (WMS) 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 WMS includes the following layers: — SO.retentionPotential: Retention flooding areas indicates the potential of areas near river systems to retain water during flood events. — SO.SoilBody: Part of the soil cover that is delineated and that is homogeneous with regard to certain soil properties and/or spatial patterns.
