Description
The soil erosion hazard web service provides an overview of the spatial distribution of potential soil erosion hazards as well as soil removal by wind and water on Brandenburg’s agricultural land. The service has five layers. In the layer “Risk levels of wind erosion”, the agricultural areas are in a spatial resolution of 2x2 meters according to their potential wind erosion hazard in accordance with the calculation regulation DIN19706 (https://dx.doi.org/10.31030/1934215) and Funk et al. 2023 (https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.aeolia.2023.100878) classified. In the layer “soil removal (t/ha/a) water erosion (RxKxS)” the potential soil removal by water derived from the erosion factors R, K and S according to DIN19708 (https://dx.doi.org/10.31030/2676773) is shown in a spatial resolution of 5x5 meters. In the layer “soil removal (t/ha/a) water erosion (RxKxSxL)” the potential soil removal by water derived from the erosion factors R, K, S and L according to DIN19708 (https://dx.doi.org/10.31030/2676773) is shown in a spatial resolution of 5x5 meters. In the layers “Danger levels of water erosion (RxKxS)” and “Danger levels water erosion (RxKxSxL)” a classification of the potential water erosion hazard of agricultural land according to DIN19708 is shown in a spatial resolution of 5x5 meters. The potential risk of erosion corresponds to the threat of land due to natural conditions, i.e. without taking into account agricultural management measures such as tillage, soil cover and crop rotation.
