Soil inventory and soil classification in Croatia: historical review, current activities, future directions
An historical overview of soil survey and soil classification activities in Croatia - including correlation between the Classificat ion of Yugoslav Soils (CYS) and the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB). From 1964 to 1986 a national project to produce a Basic Soil Map of Croatia (BSMC) at 1:50 000 on a topographic base created a purely pedological map by air photo-interpretation and field checks of one full profile and 10 to 30 augerings per 1000 ha ; the mostly compound map units refer to the sub-types of the CYS , which is a six-level hierarchy influenced by earlier European systems ; keys and class descriptions are mostly qualitative ; also, 10 800 geo- referenced profile descriptions with standard laboratory data were recorded. All polygons and profile locations have been digitised ; data from 2198 profiles have been systematized in a digital database. The BSMC has been generalised to a Map of Soil Suitability for Cultivation (1:300 000) and Soil Map of Croatia (1:1M) using the FAO 1990 legend. Land use planning in Croatia is most active at the level of the 21 counties, eight of which are developing Land Information Systems at 1:100 000, including the digital BSMC newly-interpreted by soils specialists. Increasing demand can be partly met by re-interpretation and augmentation of the BSMC with a revised soil classification but may, also, require a new survey initiative.
