Natural risk of erosion by water for Germany (precipitation period 1971-2000)
Description
The natural, average annual risk of erosion by water is calculated according to DIN 19708 with the general soil removal equation ABAG for arable land. For the calculation, the factors R=precipitation intensity (long-term average summer precipitation of the period 1971-2000, DWD), K=soil erosion (k-factors of BÜK 1000, BGR, as of 2005), L=hang length, S=hang slope (DGM 25, BKG, as of 2007) were taken into account. The calculation was carried out nationwide for a mesh size of 50 meters. It is only presented for arable land determined on the basis of the basic DLM (BKG, as of 2008). The ‘natural risk of erosion by water for Germany’s natural areas’ was derived from the calculation in the present case. The methodological approach and further results are set out in UBA text 16/2011 (http://www.umweltbundesamt.de/publikationen/wirkungen-klimaaenderungen-auf-boeden): ‘Effects of climate change on soils – studies on the effects of climate change on soil erosion by water’, Wurbs, D. and Steininger, M. (2011).
