We consider definitions and characteristics of some anthropogenic diagnostic horizons used in the world (Revised Legend of FAO-Unesco, World Reference Base for Soil Resources, US Soil Taxonomy) and compare with definitions introduced in the Morphogenetic Soil Classification System (MSCS). While world classifications are interesting in only positive cultivated human influence on soils except sulphuric horizon of US Soil Taxonomy, Slovak and German classifications consider degraded (toxic and imission) and destroyed (transported and primitive development on transported materials) impact on soil cover, too. We present some anthropogenic soil classifications made in Slovakia, and in the world, and introduce critical assessment of the anthropogenic soil diagnostic horizons and classifications. Also we suggest a new variant acceptable for the Slovak soil classification system
