Um die Bezeichnung „Bergprodukt“ (z.B. Bergkäse) verwenden zu können, müssen die Rohstoffe aus dem Berggebiet oder dem Sömmerungsgebiet stammen und in einer Gemeinde verarbeitet werden, d...
Demand for irrigation
Long-term 33% quantile of relative evapotranspiration (ratio of current to potential evapotranspiration ET/ETp) for agriculturally productive areas of Switzerland. Calculation for the gro...
Digital soil suitability map of Switzerland - Root penetration depth
Depth of soil that can be penetrated by roots (general thick and fine roots; roots that penetrate into clefts or crevices are not included). (Details: Soil suitability map of Switzerland,...
Digital soil suitability map of Switzerland - Cultivated land
On the soil suitability map, each mapping unit has a code consisting of an uppercase letter and a number. The letters stand for 25 different physiographical units. The numbers represent d...
Digital soil suitability map of Switzerland - Crop type

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...
Erosion risk map for arable land, with average soil erosion in tonnes /(ha*year)
Erosion risk map for arable land, with average soil erosion in tonnes /(ha*year) (Federal Office for Agriculture) Erosion risk map for arable land in Switzerland in a 2x2-metre grid based...
Field block map for erosion risk
Field blocks are coherent, agriculturally productive areas surrounded by relatively stable external boundaries that can be identified in the field (e.g. forest, roads, built-up areas, bod...
Flow-path map for erosion risk
The flow-path map shows the new calculated flow paths for surface runoff (L-factor of the universal soil loss equation or of the erosion risk map) on the agriculturally productive areas w...
Water connection map, probability of connection
The potential water connection map shows areas in a worst case scenario (permanent fallow land, no buffer strips or construction measures) where, if the land is not cultivated in a suitab...
Water connection map, direct and indirect, probability of connection
A map has also been created as a supplement to the water connection map which distinguishes between direct and indirect connections. Areas with a direct connection to a body of water are ...
Hillsides and slopes
In order to take the difficult production and living conditions in agriculture adequately into consideration, slope subsidies have been established for areas eligible for direct payments....
