Protection backdrop of moor and moor soils

The protection backdrop of the moor and bog soils serves to implement the permanent grassland conservation law (DGLG) and for application within the framework of the common agricultural policy (CAP) of the European Union in relation to the standard GAEC 2 (protection of wetlands and moors). The map of the moor and bog soils shows areas according to DGLG § 3(1), sentence 1, 6 and 7 as well as in accordance with the GAEC 2 standard of the CAP as an orientation. It serves the agricultural administration in the implementation of the regulations and provides farmers with information about the documents used to examine the applications. The minimum requirements for belonging to the backdrop of the moor and bog soils are as follows: In the floor up to 40 cm below hallway there is a layer of at least 10 cm thick with at least 15 % humus. This percentage corresponds to the soil history criteria for an angular soil, for moor soils 30 % humus are required at a width of 30 cm. It should be noted that, according to the definition, the humus-rich layer does not necessarily have to be located on the terrain surface. The map was derived from existing information bases and secured by sampling and laboratory analysis. It is not differentiated according to anmoor and moor, nor according to the thickness of the humous layers. Contiguous areas > 2 ha are shown. Exceptions apply to areas related to content that are separated by topographical elements such as roads and rivers. For them, the sum of the individual areas must be > 2 ha. The map is not limited to the agricultural area but shows the moors and moors of all uses.
