Soil Regions of the European Union R. Hartwich - BGR 9/26/2020 32 nd IGC Florence 2004 13

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. 9/26/2020 32 nd IGC Florence 2004 14

Each single soil region is characterized and described by: • • dominant soil types and regional name dominant parent material climatic data altitudes and major landforms. 9/26/2020 32 nd IGC Florence 2004 15
