Deliverable WP4-D4

The deliverable WP4-D4 explores the inclusion of the connectivity approach in model simulations with the objective to develop a “Guideline on the practical use of the connectivity approach in modelling using mitigation scenarios” for model users. The guideline was developed based on simulation of erosion mitigation scenarios for six agricultural catchments across Europe. The modelling approaches encompassed RUSLE, RUSLE combined with the Index of Connectivity and Sediment Delivery Ratio methods, WaTEM/SEDEM, and a General Additive Model with topographical indices.
