ABSTRACT

The DOSoReMI.hu (Digital, Optimized, Soil Related Maps and Information in Hungary) project was started intentionally for the renewal of the national soil spatial infrastructure in Hungary partly inspired by GSM.net initiative. During our activities we have significantly extended the potential, how soil information requirements could be satisfied. Soil property, soil type and certain primary functional soil maps were compiled. The set of the applied digital soil mapping techniques has been gradually broadened incorporating and eventually integrating geostatistical, machine learning and GIS tools. Soil property maps have been compiled partly according to GSM.net specifications, partly by slightly or more strictly changing some of their predefined parameters (depth intervals, pixel size, property etc.) according to the specific demands on the final products. Based upon the collected experiences the full range of GSM.net products have been also targeted. The web publishing of the results was also elaborated creating a specific WMS environment. Our paper presents the resulted national maps furthermore some conclusions drawn from the experiences.
