The Hungarian Soil Classification System does not separate the high clay content soils in the first level of the classification, thus these Vertisol type soils cover more than 25% of Hungary. The aim of our poster is to show the classification and correlation of the Hungarian high clay content soils with the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB) and Soil Taxonomy (ST), and make a proposal for the development of the Hungarian Soil Classification System.
