Morfometric characteristics, pedology and land use with special consideration on viticulture and fruit growing in the Slovenske gorice region between the Mura and Pesnica rivers

Ob omembi Slovenskih goric povprečen Slovenec pomisli na gričevje, ki je zasajeno z vinsko trto in sadnim drevjem. Vendar se v Slovenskih goricah med Muro in Pesnico videz te pokrajine spreminja. Vinogradov in sadovnjakov je z leti manj. V članku smo analizirali povezavo med nekaterimi naravnimi dejavniki ter rabo tal. Osredotočili smo se na vplive reliefa, kamninske podlage ter tipov prsti na vinogradništvo in sadjarstvo. Glede na izsledke smo preučili še možnosti, kje na območju Slovenskih goric med Muro in Pesnico so glede na obravnavane naravne dejavnike najugodnejše lege za rast vinogradov in sadovnjakov. Ti bi na tem območju ob ugodnih družbenih dejavnikih lahko predstavljali veliko dodano vrednost kmetijstvu v severovzhodni Sloveniji.When mentioning The Slovenske gorice region an average Slovene resident thinks of hills with vineyards and orchards. However, the appearance of this region between the Mura and Pesnica Rivers has changed. The number of vineyards and orchards has reduced over the years. In this article, we analyzed the links between natural factors and land use. The focus was on the impact of relief, bedrock, and soil types on viticulture and fruit farming. Considering the natural factors, we analyzed where else is also possible and the most advantageous to grow vineyards and orchards. Those could, in association to appropriate social factors, add a large value to the agriculture in northeastern Slovenia
