Mapovanie a hodnotenie environmentálnych funkcií poľnohospodárskych pôd Slovenska

Year, pages: 2014, 287 - 304

This work presents information on rating and financial evaluation of environmental soil potential indexes (ESPI). These indexes enable identification of relatively homogenous spatial units with the specific soil capacity to provide for its individual environmental functions. The ESPI four-digit code expresses the degree of capacity of the soil to accumulate water, to immobilize the risk elements and substances and to transform risk substances (organic pollutants). In agricultural soils of Slovakia 493 combinations of environmental soil potential index were found. Each index is expressed through rating (point) value and financial value. The average value of the Slovak agricultural land to provide for selected ecological soil functions is 55.3 points, which in financial expression represent 35.946 billion € for agricultural land or approximately 1.42 € per square metre.
