Developing a method to estimate the costs of soil erosion in high-risk Scottish catchments: final report
Report from a project which developed and used an ecosystem service framework approach to estimate the costs of soil erosion in Scotland, for five study catchments.
Appendix 5. Input data for economic modelling (soil N content) L = low, M = Medium, H = High erosion risk
| N (kg t-1) | L | M | H | Organo-mineral soils and peats |
