Characteristic features of forest soils Non homogenous profiles of uninterrupted development Organic horizons Distinctive soil biota Skeletal texture classes High acidity High mobility ofmineral elements

Characteristic features of forest soils Forest tree species grow extremely long time soil components, unavailable for agricultural plant species, can be split into active/bioavailable forms Forest habitats show a great amount of dead organic matter coveringmineral soils production of organic acids within decomposition of plant litter forms outstandingly strong extractive environs

If there are soluble substances, we have to use A weak extracting agent for estimating risks for the environment A middle strong extracting agent for estimating an actual plant nourishment A high powered extracting agent for estimating a long term plant nourishment The circumstances of every individual soil horizon formation differ in such rate that properties of the horizons as a whole are each other incomparable

Principles Soil taxonomy=soil systems=classification of soil = soil typology A general feature: combination of two approaches 1) Soil forming factors 2) Pedogenetic processes

Soil forming factors Genesis of soil Functional viewpoints Notes

Pedogenetic processes Morphometrical parameters Structural viewpoints Notes

Concept of description of intimate soil properties Genetically derived stratigraphy of profile Morphological, physical, chemical and biological features of horizons

Goals from both theoretical and practical points of view Creation of basis for progress in soil scientific knowledge Soil mapping Prediction of soil development under an impact of utilization of soil

Hierarchically highest soil units=units derived from dominant pedogenetic processes classification derived from genetical viewpoints Key role=limits of soil properties values classification derived from structural viewpoints

Requirements Soil classification system should be opened but their structurehaveto ensure an inner stability Soil classification system should be universal Soil classification system should be compatible

Requirements Emphasis should be put on hierarchical assemblage of soil Emphasis should be put on multicriterional features Emphasis should be put on an extend of soil profile differentiation

Requirements Soil taxonomy should be based on relatively exactly field evaluated properties of soil horizons Soil taxonomy should be based on polygenetical soil development including the relict soils
