Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Conventional reclamation methods to recover dryland ecosystems after mineral extraction often have low success. Alternative reclamation techniques may help overcome the many challenges to establishing persistent native vegetation and stable soils.

Disturbance legacies in arid environments shape recovery of former agricultural land
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Increasingly, arid agricultural land is being permanently taken out of irrigated production due to more frequent drought, higher temperatures, and the overconsumption of groundwater, with important ramifications for ecological recovery.

Soil inoculation enhances early‐phase reintroduction success in two rare plant species
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Reintroduction for conservation is an important measure to restore populations of vulnerable plant species. However, reintroduction success rates are relatively low. Inoculating reintroduced plants with facilitative microorganisms from native populations may enhance their performance.

Case Studies in Construction MaterialsThe high-energy winds carrying sand and grit in the Gobi gale zone threaten infrastructure along transportation routes. The aeolian sand resources are abundant in this area. The use of aeolian sand instead of river sand to prepare concrete can reduce the

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Objective The Dutch Slough Tidal Restoration project in the Sacramento‐San Joaquin Delta involves flooding of delta lands; however, concerns have been raised that such flooding will increase the hydraulic pressures on subsided adjacent islands and threaten levee stability.

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aeolian deflationary events are erosive to static stages where sediment supply is insufficient to support bedform migration and preservation in the rock record. In the vicinity of shallow‐marine environments, inland rises of relative water table and associated generation of deflationary super surfaces may be driven by the onset of ...

Age and Origin of Aeolian Sand in the Vale of York
Nature, 1970 SANDY soils in the Vale of York within the area of glacial Lake Humber and north of the Escrick moraine1 suffered severe wind erosion during early 1967 and 19682–4. I studied the age and character of the sands during detailed soil mapping near York.

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Triassic succession of the northern North Sea comprises a series of interbedded sandstones, mudstones and conglomerates deposited under a fluctuating arid to semi‐humid climate regime, which are often difficult to correlate regionally due to differing lithostratigraphic schemes and poor age control. Despite existing regional studies on the
