Abstract
Intense soil erosion in the northern part of the Gerecse Hills, Hungary, is causing significant damage to vineyards in the area. Three vineyards in the Neszmély Wine Region were investigated to quantify the amount of eroded soils. The method was based on monitoring vineyards for one-year between July 2019 and June 2020. Every season, a set of photographs of the vineyards were taken from an unmanned aerial vehicle. The images were processed in a photogrammetric workflow to produce high-resolution digital terrain models (DTMs) and orthophotos, which were used to estimate the soil loss using the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) model. Particular attention was paid to the effect of seasonal variation in vegetation cover and rainfall, and the erosion control effect of the inter-row grassing already applied in the vineyards was also modelled. The results confirm and quantify the extent to which intense summer rainfall has a more significant effect on erosion compared to autumn or winter rainfall.
