Potential risk of erosion of arable soils by wind in Germany 1:1,000,000

Soil erosion by wind mainly occurs on sandy, humus-poor and organic soils. Wind-exposed areas without vegetation are particularly at risk. The map of the potential risk of wind erosion in Germany shows regional focal points with the risk of soil erosion by wind. The characteristic value is determined by the type of soil, the humus content of the soil and the mean annual wind speed at a height of 10 metres. Particular attention is also paid to arable peat soils as well as deep and mixed sand cultures. The method has been published in DIN 19706:2013 and included in the method documentation of the Ad-hoc-AG Boden. The procedure was adapted by the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) for use on soil maps. The map shows the risk of erosion for arable soil in Germany based on the land use differentiated map at a scale of 1:1,000,000 and the mean annual wind speed at a height of 10 meters for the climatic period 1980-2000 (DWD). In principle, however, an actual threat can only be assumed in the case of arable land and low soil cover by crops. The map shows a potentially dangerous situation without considering wind obstacles and the crop.
