Geomorphic aspects of mapping lands endangered by erosion

Abstract

When mapping the erosion processes in small scale the topographic erosional potential (TEP) should be analysed on the basis of general geomorphological subdivision. In most of geomorphological regions the curves of areas distribution according to the TEP values are characterized by a left-hand asymmetry, most pronounced within flat lowlands. A selectivity of agricultural development of lands smooths down differences in TEP of arable lands between lowlands and eroded elevated regions.
