To effectively guide agricultural management planning strategies and policy, it is important to simulate water quantity and quality patterns and to quantify the impact of land use and climate change on soil functions, soil health, and hydrological and other underlying processes. Environmental models that depict alterations in surface and groundwater quality and quantity at the catchment scale require substantial input, particularly concerning movement and retention in the unsaturated zone. Over the past few decades, numerous soil information sources, containing structured data on diverse basic and advanced soil parameters, alongside innovative solutions to estimate missing soil data, have become increasingly available. This study aims to (i) catalogue open-source soil datasets and pedotransfer functions (PTFs) applicable in simulation studies across European catchments; (ii) evaluate the performance of selected PTFs; and (iii) present compiled R scripts proposing estimation solutions to address soil physical, hydraulic, and chemical data needs and gaps in catchment-scale environmental modelling in Europe. Our focus encompassed basic soil properties, bulk density, porosity, albedo, soil erodibility factor, field capacity, wilting point, available water capacity, saturated hydraulic conductivity, and phosphorus content. We aim to recommend widely supported data sources and pioneering prediction methods that maintain physical consistency and present them through streamlined workflows.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2199-398X}, pages = {587-617}, orcid-numbers = {Tóth, Brigitta/0000-0003-1485-8908; Plunge, Svajunas/0000-0001-8897-3349; Nemes, Attila/0000-0003-2955-5985; Strauch, Michael/0000-0002-9872-6904; Mészáros, János/0000-0003-2604-3052; Čerkasova, Natalja/0000-0003-2894-3935} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:35208390, title = {The soil safety situation in Hungary, especially around the military sites}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35208390}, author = {Szűcs-Vásárhelyi, Nóra and Pátzay, György and Szécsy, Orsolya and Koós, Sándor and Uzinger, Nikolett and Mészáros, János and Dobor, József and Árvai, Mátyás and Szabó, Anita and Garamhegyi, Gábor and Szatmári, Gábor and Kovács, Zsófia Adrienn and Rékási, Márk}, booktitle = {EGU General Assembly 2024}, doi = {10.5194/egusphere-egu24-9373}, unique-id = {35208390}, abstract = {Effective management of soil damage is essential for national defence. In such a situation, chemical analytical methods are used to assess the contamination, which, although accurate, are time-consuming, costly and do not provide sufficient information on the state of the pedosphere on their own. Rapid decision making is of paramount importance, especially in disaster situations, and a rapid procedure for in situ assessment of the damage site, complemented by interpretation of soil health data, would be needed. The combined use of near-surface remote sensing methods, non-destructive analytical techniques and ecotoxicology could provide a new, optimised approach to soil safety. For the measurements in my research, I use in situ applicable non-destructive instruments (so-called proximal soil sensing) in the designated military sample area. The detection of soil radiation was performed by means of airborne remote sensing using an unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) mounted radiation measuring device. The potentially toxic element content was measured using a hand-held X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (PXRF). Ecotoxicological tests, soil column and microcosm experiments were set up to investigate soil ecosystem sensitivity.

The performance of Sentinel-2 bands, PRISMA bands, and synthesized Sentinel-2 bands was compared using linear regression, partial least squares regression (PLSR), and two-band vegetation index (TBVI) methods. The best newly developed indices derived from the TBVI method were compared with existing vegetation indices. In mid-early grain maize fields, narrow bands of PRISMA generally performed better than wide bands, unlike in sweet maize fields, where the Sentinel-2 bands performed better. In grain maize fields, the best index was the normalized difference of λA = 571 and λB = 2276 (R2 = 0.33–0.54, RMSE 0.06–0.05), while in sweet maize fields, the best-performing index was the normalized difference of green (B03) and blue (B02) Sentinel-2 bands (R2 = 0.54–0.72, RMSE 0.02).

We used and further developed the Floodplain Evaluation Matrix (FEM) to systematically assess the Danube River, known as the most international river worldwide. The study also aims to develop a method applicable to other large rivers, taking into account different data availability and research objectives. Hydrological, hydraulic, ecological, and socio-economic parameters were assessed to address the multiple functions and services of floodplains. The evaluation showed that some active floodplains significantly reduce the impact of a 100-year flood event, with relative flood peak reductions by up to 17% and decelerating the flood wave by up to 41.5 h. While other floodplains may not have a noticeable impact on hydrological or hydraulic parameters, they play a crucial role in preserving biodiversity by providing essential habitats for protected species. We introduced an approach to assess whether a floodplain should be preserved and to categorize the restoration demand as low, medium, or high. Our findings indicate a universal need for preservation and restoration measures across all floodplains, with 81% demonstrating a high or medium demand for restoration. Preservation and restoration of floodplains are integral parts of achieving more sustainable floodplain management for each river. Applying the FEM to other large rivers could create a basis for sustainable decision-making, increase awareness of the multiple benefits of floodplains, and foster the implementation of preservation and restoration measures.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1573-0840}, pages = {1-39}, orcid-numbers = {Kiss, Tímea/0000-0002-2597-5176; Van Leeuwen, Boudewijn/0000-0002-1117-5872; Tobak, Zalán/0000-0002-4960-2198; Sipos, György/0000-0001-6224-2361; Csikós, Nándor/0000-0002-7395-7298} } @misc{MTMT:35135456, title = {Hol erdősítsünk szénmegkötés céljából a vízhiányos sík vidékeken?}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35135456}, author = {Tóth, Benedek György and Hábenczyus, Alida Anna and Kelemen, András and Valkó, Orsolya and Deák, Balázs and Török, Péter and Erdős, László and Csikós, Nándor and Bátori, Zoltán and Tölgyesi, Csaba}, unique-id = {35135456}, year = {2024}, orcid-numbers = {Csikós, Nándor/0000-0002-7395-7298; Bátori, Zoltán/0000-0001-9915-5309; Tölgyesi, Csaba/0000-0002-0770-2107} } @article{MTMT:35092933, title = {Beyond land use: understanding variations in topsoil bulk versus recalcitrant organic matter}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35092933}, author = {Jakab, Gergely Imre and Bede-Fazekas, Ákos and Vona, Viktória and Madarász, Balázs and Karlik, Máté and Zacháry, Dóra and Filep, Tibor and Dévény, Zoltán and Centeri, Csaba and Masoudi, Malihe and Bidló, András and Al-Graiti, Thulfiqar and Szatmári, Gábor and Vancsik, Anna and Király, Csilla and Darabos, Gabriella and Angyal, Zsuzsanna and Szalai, Zoltán}, doi = {10.1016/j.catena.2024.108232}, journal-iso = {CATENA}, journal = {CATENA}, volume = {244}, unique-id = {35092933}, issn = {0341-8162}, abstract = {Soil organic matter (SOM) concentration and composition are essential properties that affect most functions and ecosystem services. The relationship between soil and environmental covariates regarding SOM concentration and composition in various pools is not completely understood. This study aimed to identify the most influential drivers of SOM stabilization, focusing on arable lands in Hungary. Hungary is an ideal area for investigating SOM variability because it is at the meeting point of the three main climate effects that trigger a wide range of soil, land use, and topographical conditions. Overall, 87 soil samples were taken from the topsoil (2–20 cm) and fractionated (<20 µm) to separate the mineral phase-associated organic carbon (MAOC) and bulk pools. MAOC concentration varied on a wide range (0.5–14.1 %) and was the function of bulk SOM aromaticity and slope steepness, rather than land use, climatic conditions, or soil properties, indicating that MAOC is also affected by decomposition if the bulk OM is less available for the microbiome. Land use, especially in forest topsoils, reflects the elemental composition of the OM, focusing on the variations of residue composition. In contrast, aromaticity is rather related to soil and climate properties, suggesting increased relevance of transformation processes. As a consequence, SOM composition varies on a wide range in the topsoil, however, the lack of a definite trend at the county level suggests the complexity of the system and highlights the role of local circumstances.}, keywords = {FT-IR spectroscopy; SOM composition; Soil organic matter concentration; Drivers of SOM stabilization; Mineral phase-associated organic carbon}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1872-6887}, orcid-numbers = {Jakab, Gergely Imre/0000-0001-5424-1983; Bede-Fazekas, Ákos/0000-0002-2905-338X; Madarász, Balázs/0000-0003-4201-6919; Zacháry, Dóra/0000-0001-8248-5571; Centeri, Csaba/0000-0001-6590-4850; Al-Graiti, Thulfiqar/0000-0002-5514-690X; Szatmári, Gábor/0000-0003-3201-598X; Vancsik, Anna/0009-0009-8234-5785; Darabos, Gabriella/0000-0001-8070-5630; Angyal, Zsuzsanna/0000-0002-2733-0101; Szalai, Zoltán/0000-0001-5267-411X} } @inbook{MTMT:35076256, title = {A Duna menti síkság Solt és Paks közötti szakaszának folyóvízi fejlődéstörténete}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35076256}, author = {Gábris, Gyula and Árvai, Mátyás and Végh, T.}, booktitle = {Táj, társadalom, kultúra}, unique-id = {35076256}, year = {2024}, pages = {181-191} } @article{MTMT:35066689, title = {The Budapest Tree-Ring Laboratory – Status report after 20 years of activity}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35066689}, author = {Kern, Zoltán and Árvai, Mátyás and Kázmér, Miklós}, doi = {10.1556/24.2024.00139}, journal-iso = {CENT EUR GEOL}, journal = {CENTRAL EUROPEAN GEOLOGY}, volume = {In press}, unique-id = {35066689}, issn = {1788-2281}, abstract = {The Budapest Tree-Ring Laboratory (BTRL) is a fully equipped dendrochronological laboratory, established in 2002 at the Department of Paleontology and currently hosted by the Department of Physical Geography, Eötvös University, Budapest, Hungary.
