Erstellung einer Bodentypenkarte für das Gebiet des Nationalparks Thayatal
Description
The National Park Thayatal administration ordered a scientific study about the soils of the Austrian
part of this cross-border protected area in Summer 2024. The fieldwork for the soil survey was
conducted between August and October 2024 obtaining 15 soil profile descriptions and two
representative soil cores for demonstration purposes. The soil classification system has been applied
based on a substrate type map on the basis of the geological maps of Austria, sheet 8 Geras and 9
Retz. For all important substrate type combinations the possible soil types in the investigated area
have been defined and representatively sampled. The soil profiles together with soil punctures build
the data basis for the calibration of the soil type model being translated into a soil type map using relief
form and slope raster by GIS methods. The resulting cartographic entities in addition to the substrate
type provide information about the relevant soils and soil depths as well as ecological site information
like water holding capacity and nutrient supply.
