Aim of this study is to assess and map the retention capacity of the soil in agroecosystem, the capacity of the ecosystem to provide water regulation in Slovak Republic, as well as to describe the use of GIS techniques in creating an uniform spatial units for agroecosystem services inventor. We have created a mapping unit combining these input layers: slope topography, soil texture and usage of land in four climatic regions. Potential of water regime regulation (soil water storage) is determined on the basis of the value of retention water capacity recalculated to soil water storage in context with the soil depth. Evaluated potential of water regulation service was categorised into five categories (very low, low, medium, high and very high). In Slovakia 27.47% of the area of agricultural ecosystems has very high potential for regulation of water regime (accumulation of water in the soil). They are mostly ecosystems of arable land located in Eastern Slovak Lowland, Danubian Upland, South-Slovak Basin and Košice Basin with heavy clay loam and clayey deep soils without skeleton. Ecosystems with very low and low potential for water storage occupy Original Research Article
