Diffuse dissolved phosphorus inputs into waters, modelled values
Phosphorus inputs into waters represent an undesirable pollution load. Over recent decades high inputs of dissolved phosphorus have led to eutrophication of the lakes of the central plate...
Diffuse total phosphorus inputs into waters
Phosphorus inputs into waters represent an undesirable pollution load. A total of some 3,400 tonnes of total phosphorus (dissolved and particulate phosphorus) enter Swiss waters every yea...
Diffuse total nitrogen inputs into waters, modelled values
Nitrogen inputs into waters represent an undesirable pollution load. Under the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic (OSPAR), Switzerland agre...

Digital soil suitability map of Switzerland - Nutrient storage capacity
In a similar way to water storage capacity, the aim is to specify how many equivalents of cations can be stored in the soil. The stored milliequivalents of cations were converted on the b...
Digital soil suitability map of Switzerland - Stone content
The stone content refers to the individual mineral components of the soil which are larger than 2 mm (sieve residue). In most cases the top 50 cm of the soil was evaluated. (Details: Soil...
Digital soil suitability map of Switzerland - Waterlogging
If external water (runoff from slopes and groundwater) is present in the soil as well as precipitation, this is described as external waterlogging. (Details: Soil suitability map of Switz...
Digital soil suitability map of Switzerland - Permeability
Permeability is measured using saturated soil core samples in the laboratory. Observations in the field highlighted a relationship between precipitation, permeability and morphological fe...
Digital soil suitability map of Switzerland - Water storage capacity
The term refers to water which is retained in the soil by tension forces and can easily be taken up by plants (soil moisture tension 0.1 - 1 Atm). Estimates show that there is likely to b...

The Federal Register of Buildings and Dwellings (RBD) was created on the basis of information from the 2000 population census for statistical purposes. The RBD has established itself as t...
Federal Register of Buildings and Dwellings: building status
The Federal Register of Buildings and Dwellings (RegBL) was created on the basis of information from the 2000 population census for statistical purposes. The RDB has established itself as...
Suitability of roofs for the use of solar energy
Solar energy that reaches the earth’s surface can be utilised with the aid of the two established solar technologies, photovoltaics (electricity) and solar thermal energy, for the product...
Suitability of façades for the use of solar energy
The sun's energy that reaches the Earth's surface can be used, via two proven forms of solar technology – photovoltaics (electric current) and solar thermal energy (heat) – to generate re...
