Abstract

After several years of digital processing of legacy soil data collected by the Kreybig soil survey, the nationwide development of the digital Kreybig soil information system (DKSIS) made possible the compilation of soil property and function maps for the territory of Hungary at a scale of approximately 1:25,000–1:50,000. The Kreybig legacy data are spatially most detailed nationwide dataset related to soils which covers the whole area of the country. It simultaneously contains two types of geometric datasets: approximately 100,000 soil mapping units (SMUs) and 250,000 sampling plots. SMUs are characterized by several complex soil physical and chemical categories and detailed soil properties which are provided for soil profiles whose description in the digital environment is supported by a specific relational database. Primary digital soil maps can be compiled based on the polygons-type entities, while suitable spatial inference of profile-related variables makes the composition of secondary, regionalized digital soil maps possible, too. In our paper, we present example for both types.
