Opis (eng)

"Due to increasing demand, climate change, and world population growth, natural resources are getting exploited fast. One of the most important natural resources is soil, which is susceptible to degradation. Erosion as one of the forms of land degradation is also one of the most global environmental problems. Ecosystem services are often defined as benefits that nature provides to humankind. Soil, as the foundation of basic ecosystem functions, provides benefits to people, erosion control, water infiltration, food, fuel, fibers… This research is using the ecosystem approach as a strategy for natural resources management for promoting sustainability and conservation. The research was done in the Topčiderska River basin (Belgrade, Serbia). The InVEST Sediment Delivery Ratio model was used, to quantify erosion intensity, with a spatial distribution output map of overland sediment generation and delivery to the stream. InVEST SDR, a spatially explicit model is using a method based on the concept of hydrological connectivity and the (R)USLE model. This combined with socio-economic, law, and policy analysis gives a full set of information to decision-makers helping them to successfully manage and deliver sustainable ecosystems."
