Distinguishing the Multifactorial Impacts on Ecosystem Services under the Long-Term Ecological Restoration in the Gonghe Basin of China

Remote Sensing
The ongoing shifts in climate, coupled with human activities, are leading to significant land desertification; thus, understanding the long-term variations in ecosystem services as well as the driving factors has a significant value for ensuring ...

A pan-European quantitative assessment of soil loss by wind

, 2016
Soil erosion by wind is a serious environmental problem often low perceived but resulting in severe soil degradation forms. On the long-term a considerable part of topsoil — rich in nutrient and organic matters — could be removed compromising the ...

Study on the relationship between topological characteristics of vegetation ecospatial network and sand fixation function in the Mongolian Plateau

Kuwait Journal of Science
The spatial structure of vegetation plays a pivotal role in determining the sand fixation function of ecosystems. However, the interaction between vegetation spatial structure at the regional scale and its sand fixation function remains insufficiently ...

Effect of vegetation cover and transitions on regional wind erosion in drylands

, 2012
Wind erosion is a critical environmental problem that threatens mainly the arid and semi-arid regions of our planet. Usually this problem is associated with desertification, poverty and other environmental and socioeconomic problems. Wind erosion causes
