Talajtani változatosság és annak okai Belső-Somogyban - Háromfa esettanulmány

Soil variability and its driving factors in the Belső-Somogy, a case study in Háromfa

Abstract

This paper aims to summarize the main soil forming factors of the Belső-Somogy region. This very young surface is characterized with a great variability of parent materials. Due to the alluvial-aeolian origin, abruptly changing texture classes dominate the area, which often cause water stagnation. The major soils are Stagnosols and Luvisols, but Arenosols, Gleysols also occur in the area. The geomorphology of the area is the most dominant variable that explains the soil variability and the changing physical and chemical soil properties.
