Evaluation of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Wind Erosion Prevention Service Based on RWEQ Model
Sustainability, 2022 Ecosystem service research is essential to identify the contribution of the ecosystem to human welfare. As an important ecological barrier zone, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) supports the use of a crucial wind erosion prevention service (WEPS) to improve the ecological environment quality.

TASOW – A tool for the automated selection of potential windbreaks [PDF]
MethodsX, 2022 Wind erosion is a process in which soil particles are detached from soils and transported downwind. One effective measure to reduce wind erosion are vegetated windbreaks such as hedgerows as they reduce wind speeds and likewise the forces which detach ...

Sustainability, 2022 Environmental sustainability and high-quality development are global issues since soil deterioration and potential desertification are caused by human activities and global climate change, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. The Loess Plateau is one of the most severely eroded regions in the world.

Comparing the Results of RWEQ and IRIFR Models for Determining of Land Management Effects on Wind Erosion [PDF]
مدیریت بیابان, 2015 If the wind speed got faster than soil erosion threshold and soil surface with plants, residuals and surface roughness are protected, then the process will lead to wind erosion.

Quantitative Evaluation of Soil Water and Wind Erosion Rates in Pakistan
Remote Sensing, 2023 Soil erosion triggered by water and wind pose a great threat to the sustainable development of Pakistan. In this study, a combination of geographic information systems (GISs) and machine learning approaches were used to predict soil water erosion rates ...

RWEQ – Wind erosion predictions for variable soil roughness conditions
Aeolian Research, 2016 The soil surface roughness is a main factor in all wind erosion prediction models, including the Revised Wind Erosion Equation (RWEQ). The objective of this study was to test the erodibility of two typical soils of the semiarid Argentinean Pampas under three different tillage conditions (compared to a flat surface) at three wind velocities using a wind

Calibration of RWEQ in a patchy landscape; a first step towards a regional scale wind erosion model
Aeolian Research, 2012 Despite the fact that wind erosion seriously affects the sustainable use of land in a large part of the world, no validated wind erosion model that predicts windblown mass transport on a regional scale exists. Vegetation has the potential to decrease soil loss by wind erosion through the protection of the soil surface, through the reduction of wind ...
