Abstract:
The aim of the project is to prepare documents for the state administration, which in the context of soil protection and sustainable management would enable it to comprehensively grasp the issue of wind erosion in the Czech Republic, including its impacts on land drying and rational area of crops. The solution will use state-of-the-art approaches to modeling long-term soil loss compatible with EU requirements, and will include predictions of developments due to global change. The relevance, timeliness and quality of soil and climatic data entering the model are ensured by the composition of the research team. The results of the model will be verified and calibrated by field and laboratory determination of the real soil loss. The conditions of good agricultural practice (DZES 5) as well.
