A Land Potential‐Based Framework for Wind Erosion and Sand and Dust Storm Source Mitigation

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wind erosion and sand and dust storms are a global challenge. While many management practices to mitigate sources of wind erosion and sand and dust storms have been documented, existing guidance largely emphasizes what practices are available, with limited information on where and under what ecological conditions they should be applied.

Analysis of the spatiotemporal pattern and driving mechanism of ecological restoration in the Kubuqi Desert

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
The health of desert plant life is closely linked to the stability of the local ecological equilibrium, where both human actions and shifts in climate serve as primary influences on environmental security.

Application of Organic Superabsorbent Cellulosic Polymers (OSCPs) and Cyanobacteria on Reduction of Aeolian Losses

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Establishing biocrusts on sandy surfaces in harsh desert environments presents significant challenges due to extreme ecological conditions. To address these challenges, this study examined the effects of two organic superabsorbent cellulosic polymers (OSCPs)—carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and guar gum (GUA)—on the establishment of ...

Differences in Dust Emission and Near‐Surface Transport Patterns Among Three Surface Substrate Types

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil wind erosion is a major driver of atmospheric dust emissions and land degradation. Many studies have examined dust release from different substrates, but differences in methods and units still limit quantitative understanding of how surface conditions and wind jointly control dust emission and near‐surface transport. A closed‐circuit wind

The Hidden Harvest: Harnessing Colorado's Geodiversity and Environmental Heterogeneity for Sustainable Agritourism

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...

A mathematical conjecture associates Martian TARs with sand ripples

Open Geosciences, 2022
Considering that aeolian sand ripples are formed primarily by creeping particles caused by wind-driven saltation sand particles, we obtain a formulation for determining the height of saturated aeolian sand ripples by incorporating the reptation fluxes ...

Ancient Martian Aeolian Sand Dune Deposits Recorded in the Stratigraphy of Valles Marineris and Implications for Past Climates

Journal of Geophysical Research - Planets, 2020
Aeolian sediment transport, deposition, and erosion have been ongoing throughout Mars's history. This record of widespread aeolian processes is preserved in landforms and geologic units that retain important clues about past environmental conditions ...

A reappraisal of the Middle to Later Stone Age prehistory of Morocco Réévaluer la préhistoire du Maroc, du Middle Stone Age au Later Stone Age

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.
