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

Ecological 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

International 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.

Deciphering the impact of wind erosion on ecosystem services: An integrated framework for assessment and spatiotemporal analysis in arid regions

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Wind erosion, a crucial disruptor of ecosystem health and stability, especially in arid regions, remains unincorporated in extensively utilized ecosystem services (ESs) quantification models such as InVEST.

Spatio-temporal Explicit Mapping and Quantification of Ecosystem Services Provision Area: An Application for Wind Wrosion Prevention Service in Northern China

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Many ecosystem service (ES) items, such as the wind erosion prevention service (WEPS), have spatially separated service provision and benefit areas (SPA & SBA), which are connected by directional ecosystem services flows (ESF).

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.

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

Geoderma
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.

Changes in Allometric Attributes and Biomass of Forests and Woodlands across an Altitudinal and Rainfall Gradient: What Are the Implications of Increasing Seasonality due to Anthropogenic Climate Change?

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.

Integrated Monitoring and Assessment Framework of Regional Ecosystem under the Global Climate Change Background

Advances in Meteorology, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Global changes are driving ecosystem alterations, and the effects are becoming more and more obvious. Ecosystem management clarifies the fundamental supporting functions of ecosystems for human survival and sustainable development. Integrated ecosystem monitoring and assessment has become a popular topic of ecology study.
