Relief/Terrain Classification by Morphographic Terrain Units
As mentioned introductory (see: "Terrain") the distribution of many geo factors (like: soil, climate, vegetation) is mainly dependent on the terrain. Furthermore the terrain often traces boundaries, like rock- and soil-boundaries. Classifying the terrain into landscape ecologic relevant units (throughout morphographic maps) can give important hints concerning the soil, the vegetation and the rock, etc.
You will find some examples of morphographic terrain units as follows. They can be produced by scilands GmbH exclusively.
There are three autonomous categories of terrain units being calculated by very complex algorithms. Examples as follows.
