Digital soil suitability map of Switzerland - Crop type
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 different elements of the landscape, categorised by bedrock, slope and gradient. Each mapping unit also corresponds to one or more soil types. There are 144 mapping units in total. They are grouped together into 18 different coloured categories on the map from the perspective of soil suitability. Agricultural criteria have primarily been used for this classification.

- Purpose
-
Die Karte zeigt geomorphologisch und bodenkundlich ausgeschiedene Einheiten, welche anschliessend nach ihren landwirtschaftlichen und forstlichen Nutzungsmöglichkeiten beurteilt sind. Diese Beurteilung erfolgt aufgrund der bodenkundlichen Eigenschaften der Kartierungseinheiten. Es werden damit standortgemässe Nutzungsmöglichkeiten, unabhängig von der derzeitigen Bodennutzung, dargestellt.

1980 publizierten die damaligen Bundesämter für Raumplanung, für Landwirtschaft und für Forstwesen eine Bodeneignungskarte der Schweiz im Massstab 1:200'000. Einige Jahre später wurde diese Karte am Geographischen Institut der Universität Bern zur Verwendung in verschiedenen Arbeiten digitalisiert.
