Since the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB) 1998 has been decided to be the official soil classification system of the International Union of Soil Science (IUSS), it became more and more important for international cooperation. Against this background and in order to simplify the access to the WRB for German speaking scientists and administrators, it was proposed during the Philadelphia IUSS World Congress to provide a German edition of the WRB, easily available for everybody. This is why the Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe (BGR) decided to prepare such a German version (translation Peter Schad).
From now, the German WRB edition is available as
