Delineation of areas susceptable for wind erosion in Flanders, Belgium

In the European framework directive Soil protection, wind erosion is considered as one of the main threats on soil quality in Europe. To delineate the areas susceptable to wind erosion in Flanders, Belgium, wind erosion is computed at the field level using a modeling approach. Erodibility measurements in the wind tunnel support the computer simulations.
