Larger quantities of eroded soils are to be found in the South Estonian uplands, the South-Eastern plateau and to a smaller extent the Sakala uplands environment and the Pandivere highland.
Based on the degree of erosion and the carbonate content of the original parent rock the soil of the year is classified in three groups: slightly, moderately and strongly eroded soils. Strongly and moderately eroded soils are located on the higher parts of the landscape profile and because of this are also more drought sensitive .
