Wind Erosion Control with Scattered Vegetation in the Sahelian Zone of Burkina Faso
This paper describes the results of a survey on farmers’ perceptions of the effect of woody natural vegetation on wind erosion. Sixty farmers were interviewed in three villages in northern Burkina Faso. The farmers mentioned that the presence of woody vegetation between the crops could benefit yield, but feared competition between the natural vegetation and the crop. Vegetation in a field was c...
متن کاملMicrowave electromagnetic modelling of Sahelian-grassland
In this paper radar scattering models based on coherent and incoherent formulations for an African grassland (Sahelian) are examined. The coherent model is used to account for the structure of the grass plants and the results are compared with the same model assuming random placement and orientation of scatters, and the Radiative Transfer model. The validity of the three models applied to grass...
متن کاملNew Insights into the Geography and Modelling of Wind Erosion in the European Agricultural Land. Application of a Spatially Explicit Indicator of Land Susceptibility to Wind Erosion
The current state of the art in erosion research does not provide answers about the “where” and “when” of wind erosion in European agricultural lands. Questions about the implications for the agricultural productivity remain unanswered. Tackling this research gap, the study provides a more comprehensive understanding of the spatial patterns of land susceptibility to wind erosion in European agr...
متن کاملWind Erosion Assessment in Austria Using Wind Erosion Equation and GIS
Soil erosion by wind is a serious problem in many parts of Europe and leads to degradation of the resource soil. In order to achieve sustainable land use, tools to identify problem areas and to evaluate environmental sound management practices are needed and necessary. Until now no wind erosion measurements have been carried out in Austria. For the fist time assessment of soil erosion by wind h...
متن کاملLiving windbreak design for wind erosion control in arid regions: A case study in Dehloran, Iran
Wind erosion is considered as one of the main processes of land degradation in different parts of the world. Among the most effective ways to control wind erosion is to cover land surface with natural vegetation area. In this study, 3 replica soil samples were collected, at a depth of 0-3 cm, from various land uses in Dehloran, Ilam Province, Iran. Physical and chemical characteristics of soil ...
