The effect of vegetation patterns on Aeolian mass flux at regional scale: a wind tunnel study [PDF]

, 2012
Although insight on the effect of vegetation pattern on Aeolian mass transport is essential for re-planting degraded land, only limited knowledge on this effect is available.

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

, 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.

Wind Speed and Vegetation Coverage in Turn Dominated Wind Erosion Change With Increasing Aridity in Africa

Earth's Future, Volume 12, Issue 6, June 2024.
Abstract Wind erosion is one of the main causes of land degradation and desertification. Clarifying the spatiotemporal variations of wind erosion and the dominant factors of its spatial characteristics and the temporal trend will contribute to the establishment of appropriate wind erosion control and management practices, which is essential for ...

Evaluation of Kubuqi Desert Wind Erosion Prevention Service and drivers of the actual wind erosion studies Based on RWEQ Model from 2000 to 2022

PLOS One
Ecosystem service research is essential to identify the contribution of the ecosystem to human welfare. As an important ecological barrier zone, the Kubuqi Desert supports the use of a crucial wind erosion prevention service (WEPS) to improve the ecological environment quality.

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

, 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.

Material substitution between coniferous, non-coniferous and recycled biomass – Impacts on forest industry raw material use and regional competitiveness [PDF]

, 2021
The competitive advantage of traditional forest industry regions such as North America, Russia and the EU is based largely on the production and processing of coniferous (C) biomass.
