Wind erosion and its ecological effects on soil in the northern piedmont of the Yinshan Mountains

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2021
Soil erosion by wind is a serious problem that threatens ecological security and damages the ecological environment, thereby hindering the sustainable development of agriculture and animal husbandry in arid and semiarid areas. Using the northern piedmont

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.

Spatio-Temporal Evolution of Sandy Land and its Impact on Soil Wind Erosion in the Kubuqi Desert in Recent 30 Years [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Continuous remote-sensing monitoring of sand in desert areas and the exploration of the spatio–temporal evolution characteristics of soil–wind erosion has an important scientific value for desertification prevention and ecological restoration.

Ecological redline policy may significantly alter urban expansion and affect surface runoff in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei megaregion of China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Urban expansion leads to surface changes that disrupt hydrological processes and increases flooding risks in cities. This increase may be severe in urban megaregions where clusters of cites have agglomerated.

A review of the application of the fetch effect to modelling sand supply to coastal foredunes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The fetch effect is an increase of the aeolian sediment transport rate with distance downwind over an erodible surface. The first observations of the fetch effect go back 70 years and the concept has been widely used in a variety of landscapes.
