Assessment of the potential risk of wind erosion in accordance with Annex 3 of the Agricultural Payments Obligations Regulation (Cross Compliance) (WMS Service)

The map shows the assessment of the potential wind erosion hazard for the field blocks. A field block is classified overall in the wind erosion hazard class “CCWind” according to Annex 3 of the Agricultural Payments Obligations Ordinance, if the median, i.e. for more than half of the grid cells located within the field block with their center point, is the class “CCWind”. Cross-compliance rules to protect the soil from erosion will be adapted from 1 July 2010. The EU requirements require all agricultural land (field blocks) to be classified in water and wind erosion hazard classes (CC levels). The classification is uniformly based on the existing regulations (DIN 19706 wind erosion and DIN 19708 water erosion). The criteria for cross-compliance levels have been chosen in such a way that measures are prescribed only for highly endangered areas (field blocks). For water erosion two CC hazard classes (CCwasser1, CCwasser2) and for wind erosion shall be reported a CC hazard class (CCWind).
