Summary:•There is a unique and long tradition of soil surveys in the area of the Czech Republic.•Development and adoption of a unified methodology would be very useful for soil surveys.•Harmonization and continuation of soil monitoring and exploitation of advances in remote and proximal sensing are big tasks.•The biggest issues in soil degradation in the Czech Republic are soil water erosion and reduced water retention in soils.•Land take with soil sealing is another big threat; it impacts often the most valuable and fertile land.
