Database of Europe(Doc. EUR 18092 EN)




Soil Regions of the European UnionR. Hartwich - BGR


Procedure for the delineation of soil regions:

1. delimitation of areas with similar climate,

2. subdivision of these areas by parent material associations with similar geologic-paleogeographic development,

3. assignment of the occurring dominant soils.


Each single soil region is characterized and described by:

• dominant soil types and regional name

• dominant parent material

• climatic data

• altitudes and major landforms.
