Abstract:

The paper presents a spatial and temporal analysis of the distribution of the soil salinity
and its pH level of south-east Poland depending on selected environmental factors. The area
under examination (Carpathian Foredeep, Carpathians flysch) is distinguished by its specific
hydrological and geological conditions (the Vistula and the San valley). The research works were
performed in relation to parameters that had been measured in-situ in 1995, 2000, 2005, and
2010. Using specialist GIS software, proper interpolation procedures were performed, which
enabled visualization in the form of raster and vector maps for the spatial distribution of the
examined soil properties. Moreover, an analysis of remote sensing data was completed. Based
on the analysis, it was discovered that the biggest changes in all examined soil parameters took
place in 2010 - changes in the soil salinity and its pH level, as well as in the content of potassium
(K) and sodium (Na). Those changes occurred mainly in the north and south parts of the
examined area. The underlying reason for those changes might have been the flood, which hit
the region in June 2010.
