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 ...

A New Assessment of Soil Loss Due to Wind Erosion in European Agricultural Soils Using a Quantitative Spatially Distributed Modelling Approach [PDF]
Field measurements and observations have shown that wind erosion is a threat for numerous arable lands in the European Union (EU). Wind erosion affects both the semi-arid areas of the Mediterranean region as well as the temperate climate areas of the ...

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

Calibration of RWEQ in a patchy landscape; a first step towards a regional scale wind erosion model
Despite the fact that wind erosion seriously affects the sustainable use of land in a large part of the world, no validated wind erosion model that predicts windblown mass transport on a regional scale exists. Vegetation has the potential to decrease soil loss by wind erosion through the protection of the soil surface, through the reduction of wind ...

Wind Erosion Climate Change in Northern China During 1981–2016
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.
