In 2012, the German federal state of Baden-Württemberg’s forest research institute launched a new program for soil amelioration. This program created new maps based on the forest administration’s GIS baseline data and modeling using a specialized GIS tool. The derived maps include cover 20.000 hectares and provide information about the urgency of liming. UNIQUE was contracted to support this work as well as provide advice for the technical implementation of liming, including proportioning, chemical formulation of the lime and application procedures.

• Application interface and geo-database for identifying the necessity of liming of forests.
• Automatic deduction of treatment units for liming.
• Interface for editing attribute tables and preparing maps.
• Deduction of the technical implementation of liming with information about proportioning.
• Deduction of the technical implementation of liming with information about chemical formulation.
• Deduction of the technical implementation of liming with information about application.
