The Spatio-Temporal Disparities of Areas Benefitting from the Wind Erosion Prevention Service [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2018
Ecosystem services are closely linked to human welfare. The flow of ecosystem service can establish spatio-temporal relationships between ecosystem service provision areas (SPAs) and service beneficiary areas (SBAs). In this study, the Hybrid Single Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) model was used to simulate the spatial flow path of ...

Spatiotemporal change of beneficiary area from wind erosion prevention service in the Ulan Buh Desert in 2008 and 2018

open access: yesGeography and Sustainability, 2022
The Ulan Buh Desert is one of the eight deserts in China that provides wind erosion prevention service (i.e., the ecosystem; vegetation, production, and construction activities that promote sand fixation).

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

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Simulation of the Spatial Flow of Wind Erosion Prevention Services in Arid Inland River Basins: A Case Study of Shiyang River Basin, NW China

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2023
Wind erosion is a key global environmental problem. As an important protective measure to provide services to the ecosystems in wind-eroded areas, the wind erosion prevention service is of great significance to the management of wind and sand hazards and

Spatial Heterogeneity of Driving Factors of Wind Erosion Prevention Services in Northern China by Large-Scale Human Land-Use Management [PDF]

open access: yesLand, 2022
Large-scale human land-use management is an effective method for ecosystem restoration and wind erosion prevention service (WEPS) improvement. However, the spatial differences of driving factors and the feedback in subsequent management have received ...

Neglecting non-photosynthetic vegetation leads to serious underestimation of the wind erosion prevention service provided by the Grain for Green Program in Inner Mongolia, China

open access: yesInternational Journal of Digital Earth
Wind erosion is a major driver of land degradation in drylands. China’s Grain for Green Program (GGP) aims to mitigate this by converting cropland to forest and grassland.

Evaluation of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Wind Erosion Prevention Service Based on RWEQ Model

open access: yesSustainability, 2022
Ecosystem service research is essential to identify the contribution of the ecosystem to human welfare. As an important ecological barrier zone, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) supports the use of a crucial wind erosion prevention service (WEPS) to improve the ecological environment quality.

Influence of ecological land change on wind erosion prevention service in arid area of northwest China from 1990 to 2015

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2020
Abstract As an important “buffer” to slow down the expansion of desertification, ecological land can provide wind erosion prevention service (WEPS), which is closely related to regional ecological security and human well-being. Previous studies have focused on the response of WEPS to land use change, to a certain extent, would easily cause ...

Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Cross-Regional Effects of Wind Erosion Prevention Services in Typical Arid–Semiarid Zone

open access: yesEcosystem Health and Sustainability
Wind erosion prevention service (WEPS) is critical for mitigating soil erosion and desertification in China’s arid–semiarid zones. However, most existing studies have overlooked the spatial flow of WEPS, particularly the interannual variability and ...
