“…In the analysed Technosols, irrespective of the fertilizer dose, the highest FC was observed in the Ap1 sub‐horizons and it was significantly higher than in Cd1 or Cd2. The FC values in the Ap horizons were comparable to the mean values observed in epipedons of cultivated sandy‐loam soils nearby the study area (Kozłowski & Komisarek, 2017). In the soil profile, AW and UW revealed a trend similar to the one observed for FC.…”

“…Significantly higher DP was observed in the Ap‐horizons with NPK fertilization. Compared to natural soils, developed from boulder clay (Kozłowski & Komisarek, 2017), DP for analysed Technosols was much lower. This may be due to the poorly developed soil aggregate structure, particularly in deeper horizons.…”

“…Soil water retention depends on many soil properties, mainly structure, texture, SOC, and BD (Kołodziej et al, 2016; Kozłowski & Komisarek, 2017, 2018). In soils developing in post‐mining sites, the evaluation of soil retention capacity allows to assess the effects of reclamation.…”

Open‐cast mining of lignite leads to considerable degradation of the natural environment, which then must be reclaimed. The aim of this study was to assess the transformation of Technosols in an area after lignite mining which had been under 40‐year cultivation of alfalfa with grass at various NPK fertilization rates. We hypothesized that 40‐year cultivation of plants caused morphological transformation of the parent material and resulted in differentiation of physical and chemical properties in the profile of the Technosols; fertilization had an added advantageous effect on their properties. The surface layer was transformed into an Ap‐horizon. Under alfalfa, with grass and NPK fertilization, Ap‐horizons demonstrated lower bulk density (BD) (7–11%) and particle density (PD) (1–2%), and higher total porosity (TP) (18–35%), drainable porosity (DP) (2–94%), field water capacity (FC) (11–21%), unavailable water (UW) (4–17%), soil organic carbon (SOC) (80–142%), total nitrogen (TN) (261–330%), available P (39–435%), available K (32–89%), cation exchange capacity (CEC) (25–43%), and soil acidity (Hext) (42–81%) compared to Cd‐horizons. Fertilized Technosols (1NPK, 2NPK), compared with control (0NPK), showed in the Ap‐horizon an increase in SOC (18–35%), TP (8–15%), DP (81–90%), FC (9–10%), P (110–285%), K (14–71%), and TN (0–18%), and a decrease in BD (4–7%). In contrast, fertilization had no effect on the UW, PD, soil inorganic carbon (SIC), CaCO3, available Mg, and pHKCl. The alfalfa and orchard grass played a key role in the reclamation and soil‐forming processes, while fertilization played a supporting role.

The Shadow Values of Soil Hydrological Properties in the Production Potential of Climatic Regionalization of the Czech Republic

et al. 2022

The Czech Republic uses a dual system of agricultural land prices, namely the formal/official price—for tax purposes—and the market price in the case of a standard sale or purchase of farmland. This paper focuses on the construction of an econometric model to quantify the influence of soil hydrological characteristics on the production potential in a given climatic region. It also focuses on the use of this model for the determination of the official price of agricultural land, which is expressed on the basis of the code of the evaluated soil-ecological unit (ESEU) and based on defined soil characteristics. The pricing itself is based on the production potential of the land, which in practice is very important for spatial planning, as it determines the classes of agricultural land protection with regard to the possibility of setting aside agricultural land for non-productive purposes or for drawing subsidies for less favourable areas. In this context, the non-productive functions of agricultural land are also frequently discussed, especially its retention, which plays a very important role in the currently changing climatic conditions. There are a number of studies on soil retention, and numerous approaches to measuring it, but none of them address its impact on production potential and thus on the price of land. For this reason, this paper focuses on defining the influence of the retention of the main soil units (defined for the conditions of the Czech Republic) on production potential. For this definition, SUR models are used, where the endogenous variable is expressed as production potential and the exogenous variables include the basic soil characteristics such as grain size, porosity, hydrological component of the soil, and retention. The obtained outputs show both the high explanatory power of the model and the adequate parametric significance of most variables, which provides sufficient support for the use of the results in practice. In addition, the estimated models across all climatic regions are consistent with substantively logical assumptions about the link between production potential and soil hydrological properties, which secondarily demonstrates their applicability in practice, especially for state administration, but also for local government in the sense of municipalities, cities, and other organizational units.

“…Studies of the properties of granulometric fractions are very important, because they allow for a thorough recognition of the influence of the granulometric composition of soils on their physical (Brogowski and Kwasowski 2015; Francaviglia et al 2016, Koz³owski andKomisarek 2017b;Malik et al 2014, Rafraf et al 2016, chemical (Czaban et al 2014, Rastegari et al 2016, Skic et al 2016, and biological properties (Stemmer et al 1998), and their effect on pedogenic processes (Koz³owski and Komisarek 2017a;Musztyfaga and Kaba³a 2015). Of particular importance are further investigations on the sorption properties of granulometric fractions with regard to the recognition of processes of sorption and desorption of macro-and microelements indispensable for plants, and of harmful heavy metals (D¹bkowska-Naskrêt et al 2016, Roth et al 2012 and other hazardous compounds (Korobova et al 2014).…”

The aim of the paper was to investigate the sorption properties of granulometric fractions separated from the genetic horizons of arable Haplic Cambisol developed from boulder loams of the Middle-Polish (Riss) Glaciation, Wartanian Stadial (central Poland). Separation of granulometric fractions was made with application of the Atterberg method without the use of centrifuging and dispersing agents. The cation exchange capacity average value in cmol(+)kg−1 and % contribution in particular fractions reached: 1–0.1 mm – 2.1 (1.6%), 0.1–0.05 mm – 5.5 (4.0%), 0.05–0.02 mm – 8.5 (6.1%), 0.02–0.01 mm – 13.0 (10.1%), 0.01–0.005 mm – 16.1 (12.8%), 0.005–0.002 mm – 28.6 (20.5%) and fraction <0.002 mm – 48.7 (44.9%). Leaching of the total exchangeable bases was the largest in the 0.1–0.05 mm fraction and decreased successively with decreasing grain diameter. Sorption properties of the tested soil determine its high agricultural value and buffer properties. The cation exchange capacity of the recognised granulometric fractions successively increased with decrease of their diameter while leaching process intensity in individual fractions decreased gradually as their dimensions decreased. Calcium was the most leached cation, followed by magnesium and sodium, whereas potassium was not leached at all. Significant increase of the cation exchange capacity in fractions from carbonate horizons was mostly caused by the increased contribution of calcium, which could be released from carbonates during extraction of bases.
