The phrase "a stepwise reduction of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are describing a gradual or systematic decrease in something, such as data, resources, or processes.
Example: "The study focused on a stepwise reduction of the error rate in the algorithm over several iterations."
Alternatives: "a gradual decrease in" or "a systematic reduction of".
Its implementation yields a stepwise reduction of parameter uncertainties together with an adaptive redesign of reactor feeding strategies whenever new measurement information is available.

PEEP titration was started at a PEEP of 10 mbar (two pigs in the SP group clinically required a minimal PEEP of 15 mbar at this time point but were still included in the study) with a stepwise increase of 5 mbar until a plateau PEEP of 30 mbar followed by a stepwise reduction of the PEEP to a minimum of 5 mbar (0 mbar when tolerated).
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), consisting of the superoxide anion radical (O2−), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the hydroxyl radical (OH) and hydroxyl radical ion (OH−) are formed by a variety of chemical, photochemical and biological pathways in a stepwise reduction of oxygen [1].
Policy makers who intend to remove financially incentivised clinical indicators may need to consider a stepwise reduction of payments against indicators, rather than blanket removal.
