This paper focuses οn assessing the contribution of lithology to soil&lt;br&gt;geochemistry, through the process of erosion. For this purpose, extensive field work&lt;br&gt;was carried out, including lithologic recognition of formations, rock and soil sampling&lt;br&gt;and finally definition of possible human impacts that affect the chemical status of&lt;br&gt;soils. Supplementary information was adopted from the pre-existing literature for the&lt;br&gt;area, as well as from geomorphological characteristics, climatic conditions and&lt;br&gt;chemical analyses of both rock and soil. Thus, a primary database has been&lt;br&gt;developed, in order to asses the correlation between susceptibility of outcropping&lt;br&gt;geological formations and soil geochemical status. The area of Kopaida basin, in&lt;br&gt;central Greece, was chosen as a case study, and the final outcome was the developing&lt;br&gt;of an erosion risk map for the prevailing geological formations, which may be used as&lt;br&gt;useful tool for developing appropriate strategies on environmental protection, hazard&lt;br&gt;assessment and regional planning.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
