Generalised soil scientific map of Lower Saxony and Bremen 1 : 500 000   (BUEK500)

The most important soil types and their assemblages are represented in the generalised soil map at a scale of 1 : 500 000 (BÜK500), based on soil units, major soil units and soil regions.

The spatial distribution of soils is generally manifested as a small-scale mosaic with a wide variety of features and properties. This distribution can generally only be represented as an assemblage of soils, even at large-scales. The pedoregional divisions provide the framework for systematic structuring of spatial soil relationships. The soil regions and major soil units give an overview of the soil scientific divisions within the state and form the upper level of Lower Saxony's pedoregional structuring.

The distribution of soils in Lower Saxony is not merely random. It can be easily seen that the soils in the flat marsh landscapes differ fundamentally to those of the Geest (glaciofluviatile sandy deposits in North West Germany), the mountain foothills, mountainous regions or the low mountain ranges (Harz). The soils and soil assemblages in the flat marsh landscapes find no correspondence in the Geest, the mountain foothills, mountainous regions or the low mountain ranges (Harz). The categories listed here therefore also describe large and important soil scientific structures and are referred to as Lower Saxony's soil regions. Within these soil regions, increasingly homogeneous soil areas can be formed by filtering for geofactors (bedrock, relief, water balance, climate). Large-scale soil unit divisions follow geological and geomorphological structures. In the Geest, they are generally based on the sequence in the glacial series and maritime-continental climate change. In the foothills, loess-free and loess-covered large-scale landscapes of variable relief (flat to wavy, hilly) are differentiated. The major soil units in the mountainous region are differentiated by their relief. The soil regions in the low mountains and the coastal area are not divided into large-scale soil units.
