Bodenerosion und Oberflächenabfluss auf einer ökologisch bewirtschafteten Ackerfläche im Sächsischen Lößhügelland

A rainfall simulator was used to describe soil erosion and surface flow on a long-term organically cultivated field. Both parameters did not show differences to conventionally managed and ploughed fields in the same region. These results indicate that soil erosion is fairly independent from the farming system (organic or conventional) but mainly depends on the tillage method
