What is The Impact of Soil Erosion on Soil-related Ecosystem Services: Development and Testing a Scenario-based Assessment Approach about?
The ecosystem service (ES) approach usually addresses soil erosion as the regulating service __control of erosion rates__ or __soil retention.__ In addition to the assessment of this regulating ES, mitigated impacts on __soil-related ES__ by preventing soil erosion can be assessed. This study presents a scenario-based approach for the assessment of the impact of soil erosion on soil-related ES. The assessment approach was tested in agricultural landscapes in Northern Germany, combining mapping and assessment of __soil-related ES__. In six scenarios, the degradation of soils due to soil erosion was simulated by the calculation of soil profile reductions. The scenarios represent two levels of impact with three time steps (+50, +100, +150 years). In the scenarios for the __structural impact__, the __potential soil erosion rates__ were extrapolated into the future to generate spatially explicit information on degraded soils. In the scenarios for the __mitigated impact__, the __actual soil erosion rates__ were extrapolated. Four __soil-related ES__ were assessed for the initial state and the scenarios crop provision, water filtration, water flow regulation and fresh water provision. The
