The varying fetch effect of aeolian sand transport above a gobi surface and its implication for gobi development process

open access: yesInternational Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2022
The Gobi deserts are important landscapes and major sandstorm source areas in arid northwestern China. Unsaturated sand flow and decreasing sand supply capacity is well known as the basic characteristics of gobi surface, but relatively little attention ...

Numerical modelling of erosion and sedimentation around offshore pipelines [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
In this paper a numerical model is presented for the description of the erosion and sedimentation near pipelines on the sea bottom. The model is based on the Navier-Stokes equations and the equation of motion and continuity of sediment.\ud \ud The ...

Measuring the Wind Pressure on the Soil Surface of the Deserted Agricultural Lands and the Soils of Sand Dunes in the Western Part of Nineveh Governorate [PDF]

open access: yesمجلة جامعة الأنبار للعلوم الإنسانية, 2020
The wind pressure applied to the surface of the soil is closely related to the climatic data prevailing in the region such as high temperature, solar brightness, relative humidity during the summer months which contribute to increasing the evaporation ...

Soil erosion rates from mixed soil and gravel surfaces in a wind tunnel [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
Protective barriers have been identified as integral components of plans to isolate defense waste on the Hanford Site. The use of natural materials to construct protective barriers over waste site is being considered. Design requirements for protective barriers include preventing exposure of buried waste, and restricting penetration or percolation of ...

Spatial and Temporal Variability of Soil Erosion in Northeast China from 2000 to 2020

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Northeast China is a prominent base for commercial grain production nationwide. Soil erosion, a primary cause of land degradation and grain yield decrease, has become an imminent issue and is still not well documented in Northeast China.

Tolerable versus actual soil erosion rates in Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Erosion is a major threat to soil resources in Europe, and may impair their ability to deliver a range of ecosystem goods and services. This is reflected by the European Commission's Thematic Strategy for Soil Protection, which recommends an indicator ...

Phytogenic mounds (nebkhas): effect of Tricomaria usillo on sand entrapment in central-west of Argentina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Nebkhas, developed by the trapping of sand within the body of a plant, were studied in the Médanos Grandes system, arid central Argentina, during the springs of 2009-2010.In this system, formed by megadunes and overlapping dunes, nebkhas dynamism was ...

Measuring Compound Soil Erosion by Wind and Water in the Eastern Agro–Pastoral Ecotone of Northern China

open access: yesSustainability, 2022
Land degradation induced by soil erosion is widespread in semiarid regions globally and is common in the agro–pastoral ecotone of northern China. Most researchers identify soil erosion by wind and water as independent processes, and there is a lack of ...
