Abstract
Soil erosion is a serious ecological and economical problem which will become more important in the future in European countries. Quantitative estimates of soil erosion can be essential to all issues of land management. Erosion models are particularly useful instruments for predicting soil erosion and for controlling the effects of land management techniques. This paper is divided into two sections. In the first section, several soil erosion models are evaluated in order to identify an erosion model for practical application. In the second section, the EROSION-3D model is chosen and applied to a military training area in southern Germany. Finally, the modeling results are presented and discussed for selected catchments.
