Sensitivity and protection against wind erosion

What do you see? The map ‘Protection against wind erosion’ indicates areas where the soil is susceptible to spraying due to the composition of the top layer and whether vegetation protects against this soil threat. What’s the value? The map indicates areas that are vulnerable to wind erosion. These areas require special attention in management to prevent erosion. The map helps to maintain the top layer of the soil and thus the natural soil fertility and prevent nuisance in the environment. Who is this important to? This map provides important information for national governments (EZ, E & M), province, municipalities and management organisations of erosion-sensitive areas.
