Is BK5 Ground Map for Forestry Site Sensing of NRW 1: 5,000 — WMS

The WMS provides the contents of all digitally processed large-scale ground maps, usually in scale 1: 5,000, again. For this purpose, the individual soil mapping projects ("methods") were integrated into a largely break-free overall package. Because the large-scale floor map was not created nationwide, the WMS also shows white, uncharted areas. For these areas, medium-scale soil information can be extracted from the BK50 WMS. When the information is retrieved from a GIS, each individual area is described by an information page with a clear text output regarding soil unit, simplified soil type, soil type group of the upper soil, dams, groundwater (former and current stage), soil worthy of protection, rootability, forest location characteristics, need for soil protection limescale, optimum land spacing, erodibility of the upper soil, capillary ascent of groundwater, usable field capacity, field capacity, air capacity, saturated water conductivity, leakage suitability, cation exchange capacity and further evaluations. For most evaluations, the WMS also provides a map of the material data as an evaluation card.
