A Stochastic Formulation of Soil Erosion Caused by Wind

Transactions of the ASAE, 1984
ABSTRACT DEVELOPMENT of a new equation to predict soil erosion requires the integration of the surface soil flux vector across the eroding area and for some interval of time. In this paper we analyze the time integration and show that both an arithmetic and statistical average must be considered for prediction.

Crop residue removal and soil erosion by wind

Journal of Soil and Water Conservation, 2017
C rop residue, particularly corn ( Zea mays L.) residue, is often grazed by livestock or baled as animal feed or bioenergy feedstock. These practices are expected to increase to meet the increasing demands for forage and feedstock. Under irrigated, high-yield conditions, corn residue can pose some management challenges under no-till management.

GLACIAL CONTROL OF WIND AND OF SOIL EROSION IN ICELAND

Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 1966
ABSTRACT Investigations near some of the icecaps of central Iceland show that pressure and winds are markedly affected by the presence of the icecaps under various synoptic conditions. The main effect is of wave formation and descent of dry air, coming predominantly from Polar or Arctic air masses, and the descent of this air is associated with a belt ...

Biopolymer soil stabilization for wind erosion control

2009
Laboratory experiments indicate that spray-applied biopolymer mixtures and biopolymer admixtures for compacted soil may offer cost effective means of mitigating wind-induced soil erosion. Mitigating wind-induced erosion can be a serious geotechnical consideration due to the associated soil loss and air and water quality impacts.

WIND EROSION MECHANICS: ABRASION OF AGGREGATED SOIL

Transactions of the ASAE, 1991
ABSTRACT The wind erosion process on agricultural soils is being modeled as the time-dependent conservation of mass transport of soil moving as saltation and creep. Emission of loose soil and abrasion of clods and crust act as sources, whereas trapping and suspension act as sinks for the moving soil. In this study, an expression for the abrasion source

Soil Erosion by Wind and Water: Problems and Prospects

2017
Soil erosion research is a capital-intensive, time-consuming exercise. Large areas of the earth are affected by accelerated erosion by water and wind. Data reliability is one of the serious problems in soil erosion research. Equally ruinous are the adverse effects of wind erosion.

Wind Erosion: Processes and Effect on Soil Productivity

Transactions of the ASAE, 1977
ABSTRACT PART one concerns basics of the erosion process in terms of particle dynamics, threshold condi-tions, particle flux, and the protective role of nonerodible elements. Part two is a procedure for evaluating wind-erosion effects on soil loss and, subsequently, on crop yields.
