Abstract

On the basis of existing spatial databases and maps of soil parameters relating to production, environmental parameters and soil threats, indices of agricultural soil quality in Slovakia were developed and their distribution shown on maps. Existing maps of agricultural soil properties in vector format developed at the Soil Science and Conservation Research Institute in Bratislava were used. Unlike many quality evaluations of agricultural soils, the indices developed here take into account other parameters, not only production but also environmental and risk factors. The results show that in Slovakia 1.0% of agricultural soils are of very high quality, 30.3% are of high quality, 37.9% are of medium quality, 30.5% are of low quality and 0.3% are of very low quality.
