Abstract

The project dealt with an evaluation of the soil quality in the Central Bohemian Region in the Czech Republic. The relevant attributes and characteristics were found regarding the soils in this selected area. Based on the data from soil probes, climate characteristics, soil production function and data on the land use, the characteristics, known as soil quality indicators, were selected. Then the soils were sorted into groups which indicated their suitability for the best land use and planning. The characteristics of the soils that contributed the most to the ecosystem services provided by this part of the environment were chosen as the soil quality indicators. In order to find out how the soils are able to provide ecosystem services, two types of approaches were used – the average score and the total amount of points gained. Maps indicating the soil quality were created using the ArcGIS program. At the same time, research on the differences in the quality in two different layers of the soil was carried out. In most cases, there was a decrease in the soil quality with an increasing depth. The results of this project can be used as a basis for a new soil valuation in the Czech Republic.

利用土壤质量指标评估其生产和生态功能

该项目涉及对捷克共和国中波希米亚地区土壤质量的评价。发现了该地区土壤的相关属性和特征。基于土壤探针数据、气候特征、土壤生产函数和土地利用数据，选择特征，即土壤质量指标。然后对土壤进行分类，以表明其适合最佳土地利用和规划。选取对生态系统服务贡献最大的土壤特征作为土壤质量指标。为了找出土壤如何能够提供生态系统服务，使用了两种方法-平均得分和获得的总点数。显示土壤质量的地图是使用ArcGIS程序创建的。同时，对两层土壤的质量差异进行了研究。在大多数情况下，土壤质量随深度的增加而下降。该项目的结果可作为捷克共和国新的土壤估价的基础。

期刊介绍： An international peer-reviewed journal published under the auspices of the Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences and financed by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic. Published since 2006. Thematic: original papers, short communications and critical reviews from all fields of science and engineering related to soil and water and their interactions in natural and man-modified landscapes, with a particular focus on agricultural land use. The fields encompassed include, but are not limited to, the basic and applied soil science, soil hydrology, irrigation and drainage of lands, hydrology, management and revitalisation of small water streams and small water reservoirs, including fishponds, soil erosion research and control, drought and flood control, wetland restoration and protection, surface and ground water protection in therms of their quantity and quality.
