Journal Title: Miscellanea Geographica - Regional Studies on Development - Year 2008, Vol 13, Issue
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is the delimitation of the main structure of the soil cover in Poland. The German methodology, used to define high-level taxonomic units, is applied. The method applied is useful for the presentation of the soil cover structure in small-scale maps (e.g., maps of continents).
