Other erosion-related soils (2021)

Certain parcels with low erosion sensitivity on the potential soil erosion map may still play an important role in soil erosion problems due to their specific location. For example, slightly sloping soils on top of a plateau (plateau soils) can lie at the source of soil erosion on the plots below by generating draining water. Valley soils, on the other hand, receive a lot of water from higher plots and can therefore be affected by severe soil erosion despite their intrinsic low erosion sensitivity. Such parcels can be classified on request as ‘other erosion-related land’. These lots will then be assigned a code A. This will make it possible to conclude a management agreement against erosion. This data layer contains the most recent delimitations of other erosion-related soils in the form of geographical units. The demarcation is independent of the annual changing parcel boundaries. All current and future plots with very low to negligible soil erosion falling within the “other erosion-related land” are automatically assigned the code A.
