Calibration of RWEQ in a patchy landscape; a first step towards a regional scale wind erosion model

open access: yesAeolian 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 ...

RWEQ – Wind erosion predictions for variable soil roughness conditions [PDF]

open access: yesAeolian 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

Evaluation of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Wind Erosion Prevention Service Based on RWEQ Model

open access: yesSustainability, 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.

Validation of WEQ, RWEQ and WEPS wind erosion for different arable land management systems in the Argentinean Pampas [PDF]

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2008
AbstractWind erosion is an important soil degradation process in the semi‐arid Pampas of Argentina, but no attempts have been made to predict the process in this region. One limitation for the use of event‐based wind erosion prediction models is the lack of reliable climatic data to initiate these models.
