Wirkungen des Ökologischen Landbaus auf Bodenerosion durch Wasser

Summary

Soil erosion is still one of the major problems in relation to soil protection and it is necessary to have tools for assessment of soil losses. Changes of the farm structure like building a biogas power plant or changing the cropping system may affect soil losses. Before implementing those changes knowledge is necessary. The implemen-tation and application of an adequate tool is shown on the research farm Scheyern. The results of this model were compared with measured values for soil losses to demonstrate the applicability. Beside this attention is invited to conditions of ecological farming which have an impact on soil erosion.
