An improvement of the Revised Wind Erosion Equation by considering the effect of non-photosynthetic vegetation

open access: yesGeoderma
Non-photosynthetic vegetation (NPV) can significantly impact the magnitude of wind erosion. However, most wind erosion models did not take NPV into account, which led to large uncertainties in wind erosion simulation.

Spatiotemporal change of beneficiary area from wind erosion prevention service in the Ulan Buh Desert in 2008 and 2018

open access: yesGeography and Sustainability, 2022
The Ulan Buh Desert is one of the eight deserts in China that provides wind erosion prevention service (i.e., the ecosystem; vegetation, production, and construction activities that promote sand fixation).

Soil Conservation Benefits of Ecological Programs Promote Sustainable Restoration

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Ecological restoration efforts in less developed regions confront a sustainability challenge due to the undervaluation of their substantive benefits. Soil conservation, as a crucial ecosystem service supporting both ecological and socioeconomic systems in less developed regions, is often overlooked in estimating the benefits of restoration ...

Wind Erosion Climate Change in Northern China During 1981–2016

open access: yesInternational Journal of Disaster Risk Science, 2020
Wind erosion is largely controlled by climate conditions. In this study, we examined the influences of changes in wind speed, soil wetness, snow cover, and vegetation cover related to climate change on wind erosion in northern China during 1981–2016.
