Annual results
The main results from the PESERA project are encapsulated in the
map of estimated annual losses of soil by water erosion in Europe
(Estimated Annual Soil Losses
in Europe  ), averaged
over a series of years under current land use and climate, and represented
at a resolution of 1 km. The map is intended to provide an objective
assessment of current losses of material from hillsides, though
sediment delivery through the river system is explicitly not taken
into account, and most of the eroded material generally remains
close to its source, with significant off-site effects generally
confined to a local area.
