Signalling Map of Peat Oxidation Sensitivity in Zuid-Holland Province

Zuid-Holland province in the Netherlands is mapped for areas sensitive to peat oxidation and soil subsidence. The dataset signals where peat soil is (strongly) sensitive to decline due to groundwater level control for land use. It was published by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations under a Creative Commons Public Domain Mark license.

Use Cases

• Modeling soil subsidence risk based on peat oxidation sensitivity signals.
• Planning groundwater level management for agricultural land use based on mapped sensitivity.
• Assessing environmental vulnerability in peatland areas based on the oxidation map.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple standard geospatial formats (WFS, WMS, PNG, HTML).
• The dataset is published by a national government ministry (Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties).
• It is licensed for public domain use (CC-PDM-1.0).

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
