Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Driving Factors of Soil Wind Erosion in Inner Mongolia, China
Remote SensingWind erosion poses a major threat to ecosystem stability and land productivity in arid and semi-arid regions. Accurate identification of its spatiotemporal dynamics and underlying driving mechanisms is a critical prerequisite for effective risk ...

Soil Fugitive Dust Pollution in Bole City Near Sayram Lake. [PDF]
GeohealthAbstract Soil fugitive dust significantly degrades air quality in arid regions like Bole City, China. To address methodological limitations causing Particulate matter (PM) overestimation, this study aimed to: (a) Develop a refined 2021 inventory for PM10 and PM2.5 soil dust emissions in Bole City by integrating localized particle size data and the ...

Estimation of regional differences in wind erosion sensitivity in Hungary [PDF]
, 2015 In Hungary, wind erosion is one of the most serious natural hazards. Spatial and temporal variation in the factors that determine the location and intensity of wind erosion damage are not well known, nor are the regional and local sensitivities to ...

Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 18, Page 5304-5320, September 2023., 2023 We explored how the impact of ecosystem restoration on ecosystem services dynamics affected by drought and rising CO2. Our results showed rising CO2 enhances the ecosystem services contributed by ecological restoration. However, the negative effect of drought can offset most or even all the ecosystem service provision enhancement of rising CO2 and ...

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 34, Issue 10, Page 2945-2960, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Regional assessments of the wind erosion risk are rare and vary due to the methods used and the available data to be included. The adaptation of existing methods has the advantage that the results can be compared directly. We adopted an already successfully applied methodology (ILSWE—applied in East Africa), to investigate the spatiotemporal ...

Soil Use and Management, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 849-866, April 2023., 2023 Abstract The monitoring of land management practices is vital for the protection of soil resource and the environment. Here, we present a new approach to monitor sustainable land management using widely available remotely sensed data, such as MODIS fractional vegetation cover data. The method is based on the concept of maintaining sufficient vegetation
