2.3 The status of Soil Erosion
In order to better understand soil erosion, considered as one of the
most relevant land degradation processes (Tošić et al, 2012;), the study
focused on RS which covers 49% of BIH territory. RS is located in
south-eastern Europe (Figure 1a ), covering a surface area of
25.128,22 km2 and embrassing a population of 1,170,342
people (Census, 2017).
