Erosion rate and previous extent of interior layered deposits on Mars revealed by obstructed landslides [PDF]

, 2014
We describe interior layered deposits on Mars that have obstructed landslides before undergoing retreat by as much as 2 km. These landslides differ from typical Martian examples in that their toe height increases by as much as 500 m in a distinctive ...

The prevention of wind erosion in agriculture [PDF]

, 1977
The wind erosion is a problem over more than 80 000 hectares in the Netherlands. The damage in wind erodible areas is on the average at least 150 Dfl. per hectare per year.

RWEQ-Based Assessment on Sensitivity of Land Desertification

Shuitu baochi yanjiu, 2021
Northwestern China is the largest area of land affected by land desertification with fastest expanding, which causes a great loss to this region. It is of great significance to improve the classification accuracy of land sensitivity to desertification ...

Spatio-temporal Explicit Mapping and Quantification of Ecosystem Services Provision Area: An Application for Wind Wrosion Prevention Service in Northern China

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Many ecosystem service (ES) items, such as the wind erosion prevention service (WEPS), have spatially separated service provision and benefit areas (SPA & SBA), which are connected by directional ecosystem services flows (ESF).

Potential Reduction of Spatiotemporal Patterns of Water and Wind Erosion with Conservation Tillage in Northeast China

Land
Conservational tillage (NT) is widely recognized globally for its efficacy in mitigating soil loss due to wind and water erosion. However, a systematic large-scale estimate of NT’s impact on soil loss reduction in Northeast, China’s primary granary ...

Soil Erosion in Taiwan

Agriculture, 2023
Soil erosion is a complex process involving material detachment, transportation (mainly by water, occasionally by wind), and eventual deposition when energy wanes. Human activities like tillage and construction can exacerbate soil erosion.
