Climate change is expected to have a vigorous impact on soils and ecosystems due elevated temperature changes in precipitation (amount frequency), thereby altering biogeochemical hydrological cycles. Several phenomena associated with climate anthropogenic activity affect indirectly via ecosystem functioning (such as higher atmospheric CO 2 concentration N deposition). Continuous interactions between determine the transformation transport processes. Long-term gradual abiotic environmental...
Abstract Soil hydraulic properties are among the most importantparameters that determine soil quality and its capabilityto serve ecosystem. Land use can significantlyinfluence properties, including conditions;however, additional factors, such as changes in climate(temperature precipitation), further influencethe land effects on properties. Inorder to develop possible adaptation measures mitigateany negative of climatic changes,it is important study impact changesin In this paper,we summarize...
We compiled maps for the topsoil (0–30 cm) organic carbon (SOC) stock and its prediction uncertainty in Hungary at 100 m resolution years 1992 2010 using a machine learning algorithm, namely, quantile regression forest. 10-fold cross-validation was used checking accuracy of spatial predictions quantifications both years. The performance appropriate, which verified by computed biases (0.15 0.30 2010), root mean square errors (21.99 21.39 plots G statistics (0.96 years) as well. Based on SOC...
Abstract At the European scale, soil characteristics are needed to evaluate quality, health and soil‐based ecosystem services in context of Green Deal. While some databases exist at a much larger wealth data is present individual countries, allowing more detailed assessment. There thus an urgent crucial need combine these scale. In frame large Joint Programme on agricultural soils launched by Commission, survey was conducted spring 2020, 24 participating countries assess existing sources,...
Stakeholders and policymakers have been becoming more interested not just in the potential organic carbon (SOC) saturation level of soils but also spatially explicit information on degree SOC deficit, which can support future policy sustainable management strategies, sequestration-associated spatial planning. Thus objective our study was to develop a cubist-based pedotransfer function (PTF) for predicting mapping saturated content topsoils (0–30 cm) Hungary then compare resulting map with...
Abstract Preventing and reversing soil degradation is essential to maintaining the ecosystem services provided by soils guaranteeing food security. In addition scientific community, it critical engage multiple stakeholders assess degree of mitigation strategies' impact meet United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, European Union's Common Agricultural Policy, other national international goals. A semi‐structured questionnaire was distributed across countries participating in EU...
Spatially explicit, quantitative information on soil hydraulic properties is required in various modelling schemes. At European scale, EU-SoilHydroGrids proved its applicability a number of studies, ecological predictions, geological and hydrological hazard assessment, agri-environmental models, among others. Inspired by continental antecedent, an analogous, but larger national, 3D database was elaborated for the territory Hungary (HU-SoilHydroGrids) supported improvements (i–iv) computation...

This paper analyses the drought-induced growth responses of two ecologically and economically important broadleaf tree species, namely sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) Turkey cerris L.) in south-western Hungary. Although both have been described as drought‐tolerant our understanding their to drought extremes is still limited. Forest stands younger ages target species were sampled along a precipitation gradient under similar soil conditions. 136 tree-ring samples used build six...
Land use and management affect soil hydrological processes, the impacts can be further enhanced accelerated due to climate change. In this study, we analyzed possible long-term effects of different land types on processes based future climatic scenarios. Soil moisture temperature probes were installed at four sites, a cropland, vineyard, meadow, forest area. Based modeling changes in water content (SWC) using HYDRUS 1D model, found that precipitation have more pronounced effect than air...
Due to former soil surveys and mapping activities significant amount of information has accumulated in Hungary. Present data requirements are mainly fulfilled with these available datasets either by their direct usage or after certain specific generally fortuitous, thematic and/or spatial inference. the more frequently emerging discrepancies between expected data, there might be notable imperfection as for accuracy reliability delivered products. With a recently started project we would like...
Recently, the Global Map of Salt-affected Soils (GSSmap) was launched, which pursued a country-driven approach and aimed to update global country-level information on salt-affected soils (SAS). The aim this paper present how Hungary contributed GSSmap by preparing its own SAS maps using advanced digital soil mapping techniques. We used not just combination random forest multivariate geostatistical techniques for predicting spatial distribution indicators (i.e., pH, electrical conductivity...
Abstract Since soil spectroscopy is considered to be a fast, simple, accurate and non-destructive analytical method, its application can integrated with wet analysis as an alternative. Therefore, development of national-level spectral libraries containing information about all types represented in country continuously increasing serve basis for calibrated predictive models capable assessing physical chemical parameters soils at multiple spatial scales. In this article, we present database...
There is a recurring question in environmental science, whether the spatial heterogeneity of soils also accompanied by notable variation soil hydrological behaviour. Our aim was to investigate this so-called “structural versus functional homogeneity” issue using variably saturated zone simulations and Hungarian database MARTHA v3.1.4. The purpose applied classification method simulate water balance components different under same meteorological forcing then cluster them...
The sustainable management of crops in areas at risk soil health degradation is crucial, particularly given their vulnerability the current context climate change. Decision Support Tools (DSTs) designed specifically for farmers are essential assessing risks, analyzing impact agricultural practices, and defining strategies to mitigate negative impacts on health. In response this need, TUdi DSTs were developed (in app web format), integrating functionalities tailored address different types...
The introduction of the Directive on Soil Monitoring and Resilience proposed by European Parliament Council is supposed to be preceded specific preparatory works at Member State level, such as definition so-called soil districts together with development a monitoring system based elaborated zonalization. Three subsequent terms Presidency Union (Belgian, Hungarian, Polish) aimed finalize concept elaboration legislate Directive, so far without success. As consequence, final delineation could...
The ability of soil to store a large amount organic carbon (SOC) is one its most important characteristics, making it an active and indispensable participant in the global cycle. SOC influences various related functions services, such as agricultural productivity, water retention management, buffering capacity against toxic elements compounds, which are essential provide healthy food clean drinking water. Furthermore, widely recognized playing crucial role mitigating addressing environmental...
Understanding soil water management properties is crucial for agricultural, hydrological, and environmental modelling. To enhance the description of hydraulic processes, we developed national 3D maps Hungary at 100 m resolution, covering six layers down to 2 depth (HU-SoilHydroGrids). This dataset includes continuous values calculated parameters, but aggregating this information necessary facilitate its use in large-scale hydrological models with significant computational demands.In Hungary,...

The constant and detailed monitoring of soil properties is crucial for having an up-to-date status the health our soils. This requires sufficient sampling points to meaningfully accurately represent soils a whole country. Topsoil datasets can be very different regarding point density, spatial distribution representativity. Soil also cost- labour-intensive, which why combining existing national international efficient way create larger creation accurate property maps. In case Hungary, these...
