Soil Degradation Processes and Extreme Soil Moisture Regime as Environmental Problems in the Carpathian Basin

Abstract: Sustainable land use and rational soil management, including an up-to-date soil moisture control requires continuous actions. This permanent control may prevent, eliminate or at least reduce undesirable soil processes and their harmful economical/ecological/environmental/social consequences; utilizing the unique soil characteristic, resilience, may satisfy the conditions for the “quality maintenance” of this “conditionally renewable” natural resource. Control can be efficient only on the basis of comprehensive… Show more

“…Under the given environmental conditions it is an important fact that soil is the largest potential natural water reservoir (water storage capacity) of the Carpathian Basin and the Hungarian Plains (Várallyay, 2004a(Várallyay, , 2005b(Várallyay, , 2006a. The 0-100 cm soil layer may store about 25-30 km³ water, which is more than half of the average annual precipitation (500-600 mm ~ 50-55 km³/year).…”

“…The chemical composition of soil is also an important parameter and can indicate pollution both from natural and anthropogenic origin. Several essential elements are present in soil which are vital for the terrestrial flora and fauna (such as Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn) however, above the threshold limit, they have a toxic effect [25][26][27][28]. There are also toxic elements which have no essential functions to living organisms (such as Al, Pb, Cd, Hg) therefore considered as pollutants in soils [19,24,[29][30][31][32][33].…”

“…Soils are considered as universal renewable natural energy sources, "doing their job at any time on their own capacity". Such desired tolerance of the soils, however can be fi nished considering that they are "living systems" Várallyay [13] and Kádár [6]. The disappeared or declining resilience affects, or will affect food safety and human health Biró and Beczner [2], Among those microbial parameters, which refl ect some of the functioning of the soils can be used as appropriate microbial monitoring tools, shown in previous study by Biró et al [3], Vályi et al [14].…”
