RWEQ-Based Assessment on Sensitivity of Land Desertification
Shuitu baochi yanjiu, 2021 Northwestern China is the largest area of land affected by land desertification with fastest expanding, which causes a great loss to this region. It is of great significance to improve the classification accuracy of land sensitivity to desertification ...

Effect of temporal resolution of wind data on wind erosion prediction with the Revised Wind Erosion Equation (RWEQ) [PDF]
, 2013 In wind erosion modelling and assessment, wind speed is a crucial variable. Available records for large regions of the world generally show relatively low temporal resolution.

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 ...

International Journal of Ecology, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Canonical correspondence analysis and linear regressions were used to relate height, diameter, and dispersion measurements of 36,380 stems from 197 species recorded in 2,341 plots against both climatic and landscape variables. Above ground biomass increased in wetter and cooler locations that ameliorate the seasonal rainfall deficits.

Calibration of RWEQ in a patchy landscape; a first step towards a regional scale wind erosion model
, 2021 Despite the fact that wind erosion seriously affects the sustainable use of land in a large part of the world, validated wind erosion model that predicts windblown mass transport on a regional scale is lacking.

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11061-11076, September 2026.ABSTRACT Soil organic carbon (SOC), as a key indicator of global carbon cycling and climate change response, plays a critical role in regional ecological security and agricultural sustainability. This study employs three machine learning models including the LightGBM, XGBoost, and random forest to simulate the spatial distribution of topsoil SOC stocks
