The Ljubljana moor is a swampy area in a tectonic intrusion between the Alpine and
Dinaric territory, which was formed under many geophysical processes and weather
conditions. It is an ameliorative area important for agriculture, so there is a need for
systematic investigations to help us to understand its hydrological nature. At first
glance, the level terrain has a varied relief, sprinkled with small hills and intrusions,
which influenced the development of automorphic and hydromorphic soils. Numerous
descriptions of soil types throughout history have been made according to different
classification systems. The diploma describes 5 automorphic and 10 hydromorphic
main soil types that occur in the moor. Soil types, together with examples of soil
descriptions, were defined on the current version of the Slovenian Soil Classification
and the International soil classification system for naming soils and creating legends
for soil maps (Mednarodna klasifikacija ..., 2015).
