*Lawrence J. Hagen, USDA-ARS, Wind Erosion Research Unit, Throckmorton Hall 2004, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506. *Corresponding author: [email protected]. Contribution from USDA-ARS in cooperation with Kansas Agric. Exp. Sta., Contribution No. 99-389-A. ABSTRACT Assessment of wind erosion parameters applicable to the field scale using wind tunnels requires attention to both scal...
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 کاملValidation of the wind erosion stochastic simulator (WESS) and the revised wind erosion equation (RWEQ) for single events
The wind erosion stochastic simulator (WESS) is a single event wind erosion model that is the core of the wind erosion submodel of the environmental policy integrated climate (EPIC) erosion model. WESS uses inputs of soil texture, erodible particle diameter, soil roughness, soil water content, crop residue, and 10 min average wind speeds to predict the erosion at several user-selected distances...
متن کاملInvestigation of granulometric parameters in wind erosion studies (Case study:Gonabad)
Wind is one of the main causes of erosion and degradation of land in arid and semi-arid regions. In these areas, winds are more effective than other areas due to lack of vegetation cover. The purpose of this research is to use granulometric analyzes in desertification studies in Gonabad city, To achieve this goal, after the preparation of geomorphological maps of the region, 14 sediment sample...
متن کاملPlant Canopy Effects on Wind Erosion Saltation
Maintaining standing vegetative soil cover is an important method of wind erosion control. However^ an improved physical understanding of the mechanisms by which standing vegetation control wind erosion is needed so the erosion control level of vegetation not previously tested in a wind tunnel can be calculated. In this report, a theoretical approach that accounts for both the surface friction ...
