Identification of vegetation barriers to model their influence on the effects of wind erosion in the Czech Republic

Original language description

Increasing the risk of wind erosion is a very topical issue in the context of climate change. Increasing the incidence of drought and higher temperatures in agriculture-intensive areas increase the risk of wind erosion. Permanent vegetation barriers are effective protection against wind erosion, especially during the period when the soil is not protected by vegetation cover of cultivated crops. The present article presents the creation of a nationwide database of existing vegetation barriers with subsequent use for the modelling of vegetation barrier protective zones and the assessment of the spatial arrangement of liner elements in the landscape. The baseline determining the extent of vegetation barrier identification was the Map of the risk to arable land from wind erosion according to the cadastre. Identification was done for categories 5, 4 and 3 of hazard. Vegetation barriers have been identified from available databases of the Forest management institute information on Czech, Forests of the Czech Republic and ZABAGED. A classification algorithm in the GIS environment has been developed to identify vegetation barriers to model their effect on the effects of wind erosion. Outputs of the classification algorithm were subsequently verified over the current ortho-map. The modelling of the influence of vegetation barriers on the effect of wind erosion represents the creation of protective zones that will be further used for updating the map of the potential vulnerability of the CR including the influence of soil-climatic factors.
