Soil erosion damages occur all over the Gina River catchment (see figure).

Relation between soil erosion damages and morphological units

Soil erosion damages are closely related to the defined morphological units.

Most damages are recorded in the Steep slopes and Undulating areas. In contrast, only little soil erosion damages occurs on the Mountain tops and along the Shallow valleys.

The distribution of soil erosion types in the individual morphological units

Rill erosion, talus edges, mass movements and badlands occur all over the Gina River catchment with only few exceptions and to different extents. Sheet erosion was particularly detected in the Undulating areas and Steep slopes in the north (Beck et al. 2004, 40-43).
