Quantifying the pedodiversity-elevation relations
Original language description
This paper discusses the study of pedodiversity quantification as related to elevation. It attempts to answer what is the magnitude of pedodiversity change with increasing or decreasing elevation. The proposed methods include segmentation of the study area country of Czechia so that segments of either equal elevation increments, or equal area extent are delineated. Based on soil taxa, commonly used pedodiversity indices in terms of diversity index Shannons entropy are calculated for each segment. Furthermore, a concept of potential pedodiversity PPD have been proposed it can be defined as a pressure of the surroundings on the soil unit change at a particular soil point location, with the aim to enable a pixel to pixel analysis. The size of the pixel surroundings was optimized for the most contrasted PPD pattern. It has been found that the pedodiversity tends to decrease with increasing elevation, and that such relationship can be described with a polynomial model 5-order more likely than with a line
