geography
Lembach im Mühlkreis is located at 552 m above sea level in the upper Mühlviertel or in the nature conservation area of the Central Mühlviertel Highlands . The community area is the smallest in the district at 7.98 km². The extension is 3.6 km from north to south and 4 km from west to east. 27.2% of the area is forested, 61.7% of the area is used for agriculture.
Geology and soils
The landscape of the municipality is part of the Bohemian Massif , which goes back to a very old mountain range, which was formed by the Variscan mountain formation in the Paleozoic ( Carboniferous ). After the strong erosion of the former high mountains, during the Alpidic mountain formation in the Tertiary, the crystalline basement was abolished by several 100 meters, causing fractures and faults. Subsequently, sediments were deposited in the Tertiary and Quaternary periods . The dominant rocks in the municipality are older, coarse-grained granites of the Weinsberg granite type . It is one of the first masses of magma to solidify during the folding of the mountains, has a typical coarseness and causes a restless landscape character with rapid alternation of peaks and valleys. In terms of nature, Lembach is part of the wavy highland with its notch valleys of the "Ranna-Mühl-Rodl-Hochland" of the Bavarian-Upper Austrian solid edge of the crystalline edge region.
The soil type is soils of the brown earth podsol series made of crystalline, with silicate brown earth predominating in the municipality. This formed on the granites and gneisses of the Bohemian Massif. The light to very light soils are qualitatively dependent on the depth and the water supply, whereby the different grain size of the parent rock determines the water content or dryness of the soil. Generally, the bottoms of loamy sand and sandy loam of the municipality are nutrients, the humus is in dry areas Moder , under normal circumstances Mull . In addition, in the valley area of the Kleine Mühl and the Brücklbach Podsol can be found .
Landscape and vegetation
In terms of landscape, the municipality can be roughly divided into two natural areas. The valley area of the Brücklbach with forest slopes and the local area of Lembach extends to the southwest and south. Almost all of the landscape is part of the Central Mühlviertler Hochland spatial unit, while the southernmost section belongs to the Danube gorge and side valleys . In this part of the municipality, in addition to the main town of the municipality, there are large forest areas, which are mainly planted with coniferous forest used for forestry. There are also smaller areas with deciduous and mixed forest. In the agricultural area, the grassland dominates, with a few small forest areas, orchards and individual trees as structural elements. The second landscape area to be distinguished comprises the main part of the municipal area from northwest to southeast. The landscape lies entirely in the Central Mühlviertel highlands and is home to intensively used agricultural areas and wooded stream valleys. The forests in this area are mainly limited to the slopes of the curb valleys covered with coniferous forest, and there are also small forest areas with deciduous trees in the peripheral areas of the area. The majority of the areas are used intensively for green and arable land, extensive usable areas only exist on remaining areas. As structural elements, there are local hedges, as well as small forest areas, orchards on the outskirts, intensively used ponds, rows of fruit trees and individual trees. Overall, hardly any ecologically valuable landscape elements have been preserved in the municipality, with the streams showing the highest potential.
