Because soil properties largely depend on climate, relief and geology, soil regions must be defined according to fairly homogenous macro-scale physiogeographic conditions. Because climate (and parent material) is the initial top level stratifier for the soil regions, its delineation is more coarsely defined. The EUCA15000 is mainly based on the Thermal Climate Classification (FAO 2004), which also has been used as a data source for the Global Agro-Ecological Zones (AEZ). Currently, the map distinguishes (i) the climate zones from North to South and (ii) the climate types with oceanic to continental influence. All in all, 35 climatic areas are delineated. They differ regarding mean annual temperatures, mean annual precipitation and the length of the growing period. Die Klimazonen Europas (EUCA15000) dienen dazu, die Legende der Europäischen Bodenregionenkarte (EUSR5000) zu strukturieren. Da die Bodeneigenschaften weitgehend vom Klima, Relief und der Geologie abhängen, müssen die Bodenregionen nach relativ homogenen makroskopischen und physiogeografischen Bedingungen definiert werden. Da das Klima (und das Ausgangsmaterial) die oberste Stratifizierungsebene für die Bodenregionen darstellt, ist seine Abgrenzung gröber definiert. Die EUCA15000 basiert hauptsächlich auf der thermischen Klimaklassifikation (FAO 2004), die auch als Datenquelle für die globalen agroökologischen Zonen (AEZ) verwendet wurde. Derzeit unterscheidet die Karte (i) die Klimazonen von Nord nach Süd und (ii) die Klimatypen mit ozeanischem bis kontinentalem Einfluss. Insgesamt werden 35 Klimazonen abgegrenzt. Sie unterscheiden sich hinsichtlich der mittleren Jahrestemperaturen, der mittleren jährlichen Niederschlagsmenge und der Länge der Vegetationsperiode. completed Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe Stilleweg 2 Hannover 30655 DE fis.bo@bgr.de pointOfContact https://download.bgr.de/bgr/boden/EUCA15000/Vorschaugrafik/euca15000_v1.png Atmospheric conditions GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 2008-06-01 publication Climate Klima Climate zones Klimazonen Klimaregionen Climate types Klimatypen Atmospheric precipitation Mittlerer Jahresniederschlag Atmospheric temperature European Union Europäische Union Europa Europe Es gelten keine Zugriffsbeschränkungen General Standard Terms and Conditions (GSTC) of the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR).
