The influence of soil parameters on the price of agricultural land in Slovakia

The article analyses the relation of market prices in the agricultural land market and selected pedological characteristics of traded lands. During the period of 2009–2018 in 12 districts of Slovakia more than 153,000 plots with different pedo-ecological and geographic conditions have been analysed. Based on soil types, texture composition, steepness, gravel content, and depth, corresponding price levels were derived, and <i>soil price maps</i> were developed. The highest valued soils are of chernozem type (EUR 1.64 m⁻²), loamy soils (EUR 0.86 m⁻²), soils on flat land (EUR 1.09 m⁻²), slightly gravelly soils (EUR 1.02 m⁻²), and deep soils (EUR 1.10 m⁻²). The land price is evidently highly correlated with its qualitative parameters. Using GIS technologies, the entire territory of Slovakia has been categorized by this means and a so-called basic map of agricultural soil market prices in Slovakia has been created.

本文剖析了农业土地市场交易价格与交易地块的土壤学特征之间的关联。2009年至2018年间，研究团队针对斯洛伐克12个行政区内的15.3万余块兼具各异土壤生态与地理条件的地块开展了分析。基于土壤类型、质地组成、坡度、砾石含量及土层深度等参数，研究推导得出了对应的价格层级，并绘制了土壤价格图（soil price maps）。估值最高的土壤类型涵盖黑钙土（单价1.64欧元/平方米）、壤土（0.86欧元/平方米）、平地土壤（1.09欧元/平方米）、轻度砾石土壤（1.02欧元/平方米）以及深层土壤（1.10欧元/平方米）。显而易见，土地价格与其质性参数存在极强的相关性。借助地理信息系统（Geographic Information System，GIS）技术，研究团队以此方法对斯洛伐克全境进行了分类，并最终生成了所谓的斯洛伐克农业土壤市场价格基础图谱。
