Conservation of arable soils through targeted erosion management

Arable soils are a valuable resource for our food and biodiversity—and are at risk from drought, storms and heavy rainfall. To help farmers better protect their fields from erosion, the Leibniz Center for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF), in cooperation with the Bavarian State Research Center for Agriculture (LfL), has produced erosion maps that identify areas particularly at risk of erosion and thus help to target protective measures where they will have the greatest effect.
