Standorte von Wärmeinseln und Leuchttürmen im Landkreis Mecklenburgische Seenplatte Als Wärmeinseln werden in diesem Zusammenhang Orte bezeichnet, an denen Bürger*Innen im Falle eines länger andauernden Ausfalls der Wärmeversorgung zeitlich begrenzt Zuflucht in einer beheizten Unterkunft finden können. Als Leuchttürme werden in diesem Zusammenhang Orte bezeichnet, an denen Bürger*Innen im Falle des Ausfalls des Fest- und Mobilfunknetzes, Notrufe absetzen können.

The field capacity of a soil specifies the amount of water that remains in the soil after gravity has drained all excess water following, for instance, a major rain event. It is defined as the water content of a soil at pF 1.8. Water content at field capacity as shown in this dataset is added up for all soil horizons down to 1 m below the surface and later classified into groups ranging from very low to very high. For mineral soils, field capacity values are computed by pedotransfer functions using soil texture type, humus content and effective packing density information. Share of coarse fragments and hard rock are considered as non-water holding volume. The input parameter are themselves estimates made by soil surveyors in the field from soil material collected using soil augers.

Soil units at an approximate 1:50.000 scale are the most detailed soil descriptions currently available for the whole state of Baden Wurttemberg, Germany. Every soil unit represents a combination of soils which are similar in terms of their characteristic properties and parent material. Each polygon comes with a description of the soil predominant in that particular pedological unit. The description includes information on soil formation, soil type, parent material, topography and less dominant, but related soils.

Plant available water capacity, also known as available water-holding capacity, is a key soil attribute as it quantifies the amount of a soil's water available for plants. More precisely, the available water-holding capacity is defined as the amount of water held by soil mesopores, i.e. between field capacity (pF 1.8) and permanent wilting point (pF 4.2). Plant available water capacity as shown in this dataset is added up for all soil horizons down to 1 m below the surface and later classified into groups ranging from very low to very high. For mineral soils, plant available water capacity values are computed by pedotransfer functions using soil texture type, humus content and effective packing density information. Share of coarse fragments and hard rock are considered as non-water holding volume. The input parameter are themselves estimates made by soil surveyors in the field from soil material collected using soil augers.
