de_bb leaves out Brandenburg's landscape elements and maps its eco-scheme and other low-numbered codes to HCAT, which left about a third of the 2026 edition unmapped (fieldsoftheworld/harmonized-field-data-catalog#22).

  • Landscape elements (hedges, tree rows, copses, wetlands, single trees, stone walls, field margins) are no fields. They are recognised by tf_typ == "LE" rather than by code: Brandenburg reuses codes 001-013 for non-crop uses and agri-environment strips too, e.g. 011 is both a stone wall and a perennial flower strip.
  • Codes under 100 come zero-padded in the source (088), while the code lists write them without (88), so none of them matched; the ÖR eco-scheme areas (set-aside, flower areas, old grass strips) were the bulk. The padding is stripped, so crop:code also matches the published code list.
