Abstract

The study has showed water balance of the order of hydromorphic soils, which are located in a protected part of the alluvial plain of the Danube river in Vojvodina. Water balance was determined based on empirical equations by method Thornthwite for the moderate to semihumid and semiarid conditions which prevailing in Vojvodina. Calculate of water balance in the investigated area is designated for multi-year period: 1964-2007, and for one-year periods: 2006 and 2007.


Keywords: water balance, hydromorphic soils, temperature, rainfall, evapotranspiration, alluvial plain
