Perspectives on conservation grazing: The need for monitoring and communication
Ecological Solutions and EvidenceConservation grazing is widely used to manage open ecosystems, but inconsistent definitions and inadequate reporting of grazing patterns hinder effective communication among researchers, practitioners and policymakers, limiting the understanding and ...

Minimal Model for Sand Dunes [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2002 We propose a minimal model for aeolian sand dunes. It combines an analytical description of the turbulent wind velocity field above the dune with a continuum saltation model that allows for saturation transients in the sand flux. The model provides a qualitative understanding of important features of real dunes, such as their longitudinal shape and ...

Aeolian Geomorphology of Ergs and Dunefields in Iran. [PDF]
DesertIran's geographical location causes the majority of the country to be semi-arid, arid, or hyper-arid. The existence of ergs and dunefields in the central and eastern parts of Iran has caused residential areas and all kinds of land use to be affected by ...

Effects of Sand Dune Stabilization on the Spatial Pattern of Artemisia ordosica Population in Mu Us Desert, Northwest China. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Vegetation patterns are strongly influenced by sand mobility in desert ecosystems. However, little is known about the spatial patterns of Artemisia ordosica, a dominant shrub in the Mu Us desert of Northwest China, in relation to sand fixation.

Remote Sensing, 2021 Mega-dunes in the lake group area of the Badain Jaran Sand Sea, China, are generally taller than dunes in the non-lake group area. This spatial distribution of dune heights may provide a new perspective on the controversy regarding the dunes’ formation ...

On the non-linear evolution of sand dunes [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 1981 Adopting a multiple scale method, the non-linear evolution of fully developed dunes of non-cohesive sand is studied using Kennedy’s model. It is shown that both the twoand three-dimensional problems are, in general, governed by three coupled second-order partial differential equations. However, for boundary conditions appropriate to localized solutions

Measuring Sand Dune Dynamics in the Badain Jaran Desert, China, Using Multitemporal Landsat Imagery
Remote Sensing, 2022 The Badain Jaran Desert (BJD) and surrounding deserts are the main sources of sand and dust storms in Asia. However, for complex factors, the descriptions of the sand dune dynamics in the BJD and investigations on the contribution of the BJD to the ...
