Wind Erosion of Soils Burned by Wildfire

International Symposium on Erosion and Landscape Evolution (ISELE), 18-21 September 2011, Anchorage, Alaska, 2011
Wind erosion and aeolian transport processes are largely unstudied in the post-wildfire environment, but recent studies have shown that wind erosion can play a major role in burned landscapes. A wind erosion monitoring system was installed immediately following a wildfire in southeastern Idaho, USA to measure wind erosion from the burned area (Figure 1)

Soil erosivity by wind in moderate climates

Ecological Modelling, 1994
Abstract A new computation method of the “soil erosivity” as an important and representative scalar description quantity for the steering influence of the actual or averaged regional climatic conditions on wind erosion is proposed, which is based on the combined application of two models. Erosivity describes the combined erosive action of wind stress

Effects of Ridges on Erosion of Soil by Wind

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1964
Abstract The effect of ridges on soil erosion by wind was studied under laboratory conditions with wind tunnels. Smoothed soil surface and 1.3, 2.5, 5.1, 10.2, and 20.3 cm. high ridges constructed of dune sand and three simulated cultivated soils were exposed to six wind velocities ranging from 47 to 83 miles per hour.

Soil Cover and Wind Erosion

Transactions of the ASAE, 1985
ABSTRACT WIND erosion on agricultural lands can be reduced if the soil surface is protected with crop residues. In evaluating the influence of residues on wind erosion, previous research has expressed residues of various crops as an equivalent of flat, small grain.

Soil Losses by Wind Erosion

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1995
Abstract Measurements of wind erosion from fields are limited, but with recently developed erosion samplers, it is possible to determine soil losses from natural winds. Erosion of soils by wind was measured in five states.

Unity of mechanisms of water and wind erosion of soils

Eurasian Soil Science, 2009
An equation for the threshold velocity of the water or wind flow at which erosion of a homogeneous model soil begins was derived on the basis of accepted and explicitly formulated suppositions and limitations and tested using experimental data. The validity of the proposed mechanisms and equations describing the lifting force of the soil-eroding water ...

Soil Erosion by Wind: An Overview

1986
Wind erosion is a serious problem in many parts of the world. It physically removes the most fertile portion of the soil from the field, pollutes the air, fills road ditches, reduces seedling survival and growth, and lowers the marketability of many vegetable crops. Wind erosion also creates new desert landforms and landscapes.

Soil Ridges-Clods and Wind Erosion

Transactions of the ASAE, 1984
ABSTRACT A portable wind tunnel was used to evaluate soil losses in 10 minutes from a flat surface, and from ridges 63 to 254 mm high when 0 to 60% of the soil surface was covered with nonerodible clods. Soil losses were reduced 90% with soil ridges 63 to 254 mm high, 89% with nonerodible soil clods covering 60% of the soil surface, and 98% with a ...

Biological Soil Crusts and Wind Erosion

2001
Wind is an important erosive force in deserts, where limited cover of vascular plant material offers little soil-surface protection. Dust deposition by wind often exceeds that of fluvial deposition in these drier regions (Goudie 1978; Williams et al. 1995).

Bentonite Stabilization of Soil to Resist Wind Erosion

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1969
Abstract Preliminary investigations indicate that the addition of bentonite to soil followed by moistening will significantly reduce the susceptibility of the soil to wind erosion after drying. This effect persists after rupture of the aggregates originally formed through bentonite amendment provided the soil is remoistened.
