Intensity of erosion processes in relation to natural and contemporary landscape (case study: part of Záhorská Lowland, West Slovakia)

Year, pages: 1996, 171 - 181

In the case of Slovakia erosion affects above all intensively exploited areas and the danger of the process increased in the last decades proportionally to the introductions of the methods of cooperative and state management of the agricultural soil. The puipo.se of our work was to analyse water and wind erosion, to project the territories threatened by erosion processes in the maps and to observe the spatial distribution of the units with the limit values and units, which excceds the limit values of the soil, in relation to natural conditions and land use. In the study area located in western part of Slovakia were constructed maps of natural landscape types, potential wind and water erosion and land u.se. Comparison of maps of erosion with map of natural landscape types shows the most affected natural landscape types by erosion. Based on the map of land use were delimited areas where man activites make suitable condition for erosion. Combination of maps of wind and water erosion show areas threatened by high wind and/or water erosion. It should be noted that it is a comparison of potential erosions and therefore the limit and inadmissible category of soil erosion using the optimum anti-erosion protection may by changed into admissible values of soil erosion.
