VALIDATION OF THE CENTRAL EUROPEAN

SOIL DATABASE

International Visegrad Fund’s Strategic Grant No. 31210072

About the project (aim of the project, consortium, planned activities)

• The FP7 e-SOTER project developed a soil database located in Central Europe, covering the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria and the Southern part of Poland

• In order to make this novel product operation a through validation process has to be carried out

• The aim of this project is to support this action with organized joint field data collection campaigns int he four countries to create a harmonized field data based validation dataset for the finalization of the database.

• Replace the traditional soil maps, and is appropriate to answer specific soil related questions and provide inputs for several interdisciplinary models on a national and on the regional level

• Originally only Hungary and the Czech Republic were presented in the e-SOTER consortium, which we have extended in this project to Slovakia and Poland to achive the full coverage of the region.

• The planned activities: – Field data harmonization, soil description, and validation database developement requires

joint field trips having representatives from all participating countries. – The planned field trip lenght is 5 days each, and each countries will organize one. 20-25 soil

pits per countries will be visited and described by the team and data will be recorded and compiled into a validation dataset.

– The dataset will be used for statistical validation and for correcting the potentially emerging problems of the database. Typicalcorrelation and interpretation problems will be discussed and reported in a joint scientific paper.

– Based on the finding a new version of the dataset will be created and published jointly in the four countries.

Field validation methodology

Major steps of the planning• Random site selection• Unbiased adjustments of the sites considering the

feasibility of sampling– will be describbed by Péter

• Diging soil profile in the selected location and augering four sites 100 meters from the profile to the North, East, South and West

• Profile desciption, identification of the diagnostic features,

• Doing the same for the augered samples• Recording everything!!!!!!!!!
