Neglecting non-photosynthetic vegetation leads to serious underestimation of the wind erosion prevention service provided by the Grain for Green Program in Inner Mongolia, China

International Journal of Digital Earth
Wind erosion is a major driver of land degradation in drylands. China’s Grain for Green Program (GGP) aims to mitigate this by converting cropland to forest and grassland.

Attribution and Risk Assessment of Wind Erosion in the Aral Sea Regions Using Multi-Source Remote Sensing and RWEQ on GEE

Remote Sensing
The rapid desiccation of the Aral Sea has transformed the region into one of the world’s most severe soil wind-erosion hotspots. Despite growing concern, long-term, high-resolution assessments and driver attribution remain insufficient.

Spatiotemporal dynamics and drivers of wind erosion on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Land degradation caused by wind erosion seriously threatens the supply of ecosystem services on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). Assessing wind erosion variations is critical to identify key change areas and formulate desertification control strategies ...

Wind Erosion Climate Change in Northern China During 1981–2016

International Journal of Disaster Risk Science, 2020
Wind erosion is largely controlled by climate conditions. In this study, we examined the influences of changes in wind speed, soil wetness, snow cover, and vegetation cover related to climate change on wind erosion in northern China during 1981–2016.

Effect of the Type of Wind Data on Regional Potential Wind Erosion Estimation

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
The Agro-Pastoral Ecotone of Northern China (APEC) is a transitional area suffering from severe wind erosion. The wind data used in wind erosion modeling generally have different temporal resolutions and spatial station distributions.

Wind erosion and its ecological effects on soil in the northern piedmont of the Yinshan Mountains

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Soil erosion by wind is a serious problem that threatens ecological security and damages the ecological environment, thereby hindering the sustainable development of agriculture and animal husbandry in arid and semiarid areas. Using the northern piedmont

Methodological approach for the assessment of environmental effects of agroforestry at the landscape scale. [PDF]

, 2007
Silvoarable agroforestry, the deliberate combined use of trees and arable crops on the same area of land, has been proposed in order to improve the environmental performance of agricultural systems in Europe.

Spatiotemporal Evolution of Wind Erosion and Ecological Service Assessments in Northern Songnen Plain, China

, 2023
The northern Songnen Plain in China is one of the most important areas for grain production in China, which has been increasingly affected by wind erosion in recent years. This study analyzed the dynamic spatiotemporal distribution of wind erosion in the

A New Assessment of Soil Loss Due to Wind Erosion in European Agricultural Soils Using a Quantitative Spatially Distributed Modelling Approach [PDF]

, 2017
Field measurements and observations have shown that wind erosion is a threat for numerous arable lands in the European Union (EU). Wind erosion affects both the semi-arid areas of the Mediterranean region as well as the temperate climate areas of the ...
