abstract:
The paper presents problems of sustainable soil shaping and assumptions of antierosion protection standards against the background of environmental and economic results of water erosion and present ways of its control in spatial management. Logical and descriptive analyses have been applied. Negative effects of water erosion concern mainly agriculture (agriecosystems) and water management. In spatial planning, antierosion soil protection is based on ecophysiographic studies, local plans and their environmental impact assessments. In spite of numerous theoretical or model studies, Poland still lacks antierosion parametric standards of soil protection. The presented concept is based on acceptable annual soil losses and on determination of standards of antierosion protection referring to model site units (geocomplexes) taking into account soil parameters and properties of relief. Standard antierosion measures concerning shaping the length of water flow on slopes (L), land utilization (C) and protective agricultural measures (P) are based on application of the USLE method. The author recommends the introduction of legal and organizational initiatives serving comprehensive soil protection according to the sustainable development demands.
