Abstract

The importance of the potential evaluation and production capacity of soil lies in understanding the changes related to the content of humus in the soil. Environmental and ecological factors affect the process of humus creation in both a negative and a positive way. This process is affected by location, soil type, relief, season, climate, altitude and using of soil cover. The interaction of natural components with spatial fragmentation of the country has an important role in the cycle, modelling and sequestration of carbon stocks. The article summarizes the influence of land use and vegetation cover on the soil properties of different soil types and deals with the possibilities of using parametric tests in evaluation of humus content based on environmental and ecological factors. We investigated the differences in the values of humus on grass and forest ecosystem in Kremnické and Štiavnické vrchy Mts. in identified soil types and in selected periods 2011-2014 years.

Keywords: Kremnické and Štiavnické vrchy Mts., landuse, season, total organic carbon, ecosystem
