The paper examines the factors of the physical environment which exert remarkable influence on the conditions of game management in Southern Transdanubia, a part of Hungary particularly rich in natural values. The focus is on the the traditional lead game of hunting in Hungary red deer, whose populations – although still rather isolated in space – have showed a spectacular upswing recently. The long traditions of deer management are briefly outlined. The demands of deer for a favourable habitat are analysed and international survey methods are presented. The landscapes of Transdanubia are suitable for red deer to variable degrees. The health conditions of red deer are described by the quality of their antlers. Regional differences in antler types are presented. Climatic, vegetation and soil conditions are evaluated from the viewpoint of providing favourable red deer habitat. As an example of game management problems, Gemenc Forest is cited, a well-preserved floodplain area, which is rated excellent for big game hunting.

“…Benchmark soils are important in the soil classification and provide a good basis for understanding soil properties. These soils data presents a special significance to farming, engineering, forestry, urban development, wetland, and other uses [11]. Information about Benchmark soils can be extended to those soils that are closely related to classification and geography [12].…”

Influence of Chicken Manure amendment on the thermal properties of selected Benchmark soils in Zambia was investigated in the laboratory under soil column experiments. Five benchmark soils were exerted to four chicken manure amendment rates of 0% (control), 2%, 4% and 6% on a weight basis. Soil temperature profiles were monitored in soil columns exerted to artificial heat source and generated data was used to compute the thermal properties of the soils. The effect of manure application on the soil thermal properties was strongly related to soil type and application rate. Significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed in volumetric heat capacity, thermal diffusivity and damping depth among the benchmark soils. The volumetric heat capacity varied from 3.87 MJ•m −3 •c −1 (Mushemi series) to 8.62 MJ•m −3 •c −1 (Makeni series) and attributed to differences in soil characteristics. Thermal diffusivity varied from 0.028 m 2 •s −1 (Makeni series) to 0.069 m 2 •s −1 (Mushemi series) a reverse trend to thermal conductivity. A similar trend was observed with damping depth however thermal conductivity was not significantly different among the benchmark soils. The studied soils showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in their thermal properties with chicken manure amendment. Thermal conductivity (λ), thermal diffusivity (D h) and damping depth (d) decreased while volumetric heat capacity (Cv) increased with increased chicken manure addition. The differences in these thermal properties were attributed to differences in soil properties. These results suggest that chicken manure application can be an important intervention in regulation of the thermal properties of the soil and consequently the thermal regime of the soil.
