Global assessment of wind erosion based on a spatially distributed RWEQ model

Guocheng Yang et al.

Summary: Wind erosion is a global environmental problem, with a focus on local scales in current modeling efforts. The study found that Africa and Asia are responsible for the majority of global soil loss due to wind erosion. Global wind erosion showed a decreasing trend during the study period, with fluctuations in soil loss rates correlated with weather factors and vegetation coverage.

Spatiotemporal variations and driving factors of the potential wind erosion rate in the Hexi region, PR China

Jinkuo Lin et al.

Summary: Accurate evaluation of wind erosion dynamics and understanding their driving mechanisms is crucial for reducing damage caused by wind erosion. This study in the Hexi region of China from 1982 to 2015 found a significant decrease in potential wind erosion rates, primarily influenced by climatic factors and land use patterns, with wind speed being the main factor controlling the intensity of wind erosion.

Landscape-scale spatial variability of soil organic carbon content in a temperate grassland: Insights into the role of wind erosion

Xinyu Zou et al.

Summary: Understanding the spatial variability of soil organic carbon (SOC) and its main influencing factors is crucial for sustainable land use management and climate change mitigation. Results show that elevation and vegetation coverage have significant positive effects on SOC, while wind erosion and deposition can alter SOC content and increase its spatial variability. SOC exhibits spatial autocorrelation and varies with land uses.

Wind tunnel simulation of the aeolian erosion on the leeward side of barchan dunes and its implications for the spatial distribution patterns of barchan dunes

Dongxu Cai et al.

Summary: The study found that on the leeward side of barchan dunes, recovering flow triggers wind erosion through unsaturated flux, affecting the length of the erosion zone. Sand supply and wind erosion rate collectively determine the spatial distribution patterns of barchan dunes and their morphological changes.

Microscale and Mesoscale Aeolian Processes of Sandy Coastal Foredunes from Background to Extreme Conditions

Bianca R. Charbonneau et al.

Summary: Aeolian transport impacts beach and foredune morphologies pre-storm, with vegetation-covered microhabitats showing greater stability and sediment retention compared to unvegetated areas. Mesoscale remote sensing methods are effective for quantifying volumetric change and habitat impacts in sandy coastal foredunes.

Spatiotemporal dynamics and drivers of wind erosion on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China

Yanmin Teng et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the spatiotemporal dynamics of wind erosion on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau from 1980 to 2015, showing that wind erosion intensity increased continuously from southeast to northwest, with about half of the region experiencing moderate to high erosion. While the overall soil wind erosion modulus declined during this period, there were significant increases in wind erosion in certain areas, particularly in the northwestern part of the plateau.

Ecosystem services under different grazing intensities in typical grasslands in Inner Mongolia and their relationships

Mengyuan Li et al.

Summary: The study found that grazing intensity significantly affected all ecosystem services, with provisioning services increasing as grazing intensity increased, while most regulating services decreased. There is a general trade-off relationship between regulating services and other services. The optimal grazing intensity for typical grasslands of Inner Mongolia should be between 170 SSU. d. hm(-2). y(-1) and 340 SSU. d. hm(-2). y(-1) to maximize ecosystem services benefits and minimize trade-offs between ecosystem services.

Monitoring Vegetation Change and Its Potential Drivers in Inner Mongolia from 2000 to 2019

Yao Kang et al.

Summary: The study used NDVI data from 2000 to 2019 to analyze vegetation changes and their impact mechanisms in Inner Mongolia. The results showed an increasing trend in NDVI, with decreasing trends spatially from northeast to southwest. Future predictions indicate most areas will continue to see vegetation increase, with drivers being mainly annual precipitation, soil type, mean annual temperature, and land use.

Comparative study of desertification control policies and regulations in representative countries of the Belt and Road Initiative

Yuan You et al.

Summary: Desertification poses significant threats to countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative, and research on this issue has traditionally focused on technical aspects rather than public policy perspectives. This study examines policies and regulations for preventing and controlling desertification in representative Belt and Road countries, aiming to promote cooperation and green development.
