6 DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS 
The presented ideas and first results obtained show the possibilities of extraction of the informations about soil from 
different cartographic materials and satellite images for forested areas. This deductive method requires further dipper 
investigations, explicit model formalization and model validation using detailed soils maps and/or terrain pedologic 
inspections. At this moment we can state that present problem of regional, spatial soils databases creation in Poland 
must refer to the satellite imageries and existing thematic maps because this way seems to be more efficient than 
generalization of detailed soils maps. As we have attempted to show satellite images can not be only auxiliary data 
source but complementary and may be alternative to some out-of-date maps.
