A magyar genetikus és diagnosztikus talajosztályozási rendszerek összehasonlítása és felülvizsgálata egy választott mintaterületen

The comparison and review of the Hungarian genetic and diagnostic soil classification systems in a selected plot area

Abstract

Soil science, despite being a relatively young discipline, is continuously developing and integrating itself into the study of environmental challenges affecting our modern world. With the advancement of digital toolsets, this progression is accelerating. This development is observable in both Hungarian and international soil description methodologies and has become indispensable with the emergence of digital soil mapping and precision agriculture. It is important for us to harmonize Hungarian and international methodologies to facilitate their adaptation into a unified system.

In the present research, we compare various soil types in an area exhibiting diverse soil characteristics and apply the diagnostic soil classification system. The advantage of methodological standardization and the application of a diagnostic approach to soil classification is that it significantly simplifies field descriptions, thereby streamlining the processes involved in genetic soil mapping.
