SERENA EJPSOIL IE EROSION SOIL LOSS

Description

The internal EJP SOIL project SERENA contributed to the evaluation of soil multifunctionality aiming at providing assessment tools for land planning and soil policies at different scales. By co-working with relevant stakeholders, the project provided co-developed indicators and associated cookbooks to assess and map them, to report both on soil degradation, soil-based ecosystem services and their bundles, under actual conditions and for climate and land-use changes, at the regional, national, and European scales. The dataset corresponds to a map of potential soil loss (Mg/ha/yr) due to erosion risk. The map is the result of applying the Erosion cookbook developed in SERENA/EJP-Soil. The map is created by calculating the erosion factor by the RUSLE model.  Further research into the P-factor and R-factor values is necessary to produce a more reliable erosion map for Ireland. This would enhance the accuracy of soil erosion assessments and support more effective soil conservation strategies.
