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

Remote Sensing, 2020 A lack of long-term soil wind erosion data impedes sustainable land management in developing regions, especially in Central Asia (CA). Compared with large-scale field measurements, wind erosion modeling based on geospatial data is an efficient and ...

Large‐scale deployment of grass in crop rotations as a multifunctional climate mitigation strategy
GCB Bioenergy, Volume 15, Issue 2, Page 166-184, February 2023., 2023 The agriculture sector can contribute to climate change mitigation by reducing GHG emissions, increasing carbon sequestration, and substituting GHG intensive materials with biomass. The sector also needs to address environmental impacts caused by historic and current practices.

Atmosphere, 2023 Wind erosion is a key global environmental problem. As an important protective measure to provide services to the ecosystems in wind-eroded areas, the wind erosion prevention service is of great significance to the management of wind and sand hazards and

European Soil Data Centre 2.0: Soil data and knowledge in support of the EU policies
European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 73, Issue 6, November–December 2022., 2022 Abstract The European Soil Data Centre (ESDAC), hosted by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC), is the focal point for soil data, support to policy making and awareness raising for the European Union (EU). Established in 2006 to provide harmonised soil‐related information for the EU Member States, and ESDAC currently hosts 88 datasets,

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.

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 86, Issue 5, Page 1296-1311, September/October 2022., 2022 Abstract During periods of no or low crop growth in dryland cropping systems, tillage can reduce residue coverage and thereby elevate wind erosion risk. We measured wind erosion on a silt loam, Haplustoll soil in North Dakota (456 mm precipitation yr–1) in response to levels of tillage applied once in spring during fallow following a small grain ...

Spatial and Temporal Variability of Soil Erosion in Northeast China from 2000 to 2020
Remote Sensing, 2022 Northeast China is a prominent base for commercial grain production nationwide. Soil erosion, a primary cause of land degradation and grain yield decrease, has become an imminent issue and is still not well documented in Northeast China.

Ecological Indicators, 2023 In recent decades, the wind speed displayed an obvious declining trend in northern China. Under this background, large amounts of grassland and sandy land have been reclaimed into cropland in the Mu Us Sandy Land (MUSL), and whether cropland reclamation ...
