Deliverable WP4-D2

The deliverable WP4-D2 “Guideline on the current implementation of erosion measures and other connectivity elements depending on scale and modelling approach” presents an overview of different types of erosion control measures and connectivity elements, categorized into land use changes, agronomic measures, buffering measures and other connectivity elements. The incorporation of erosion control measures and other connectivity elements is crucial to calculate the water flow and sediment transport through a landscape and simulate the impact of current land use and future mitigation scenarios for reducing on-site and off-site consequences of soil erosion. The current implementation of erosion control measures and other connectivity elements in different types of soil erosion models (RUSLE, WaTEM/SEDEM, process-based models) is summarised.
