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 8. Classification of IACS crops into the economic model (and erosion rate class)
Table 75 shows the descriptions of the IACS land use classes (and their associated erosion rate class) and how these have been classified for the economic model.
