Extended abstract Introduction Wind erosion is one the most important factors of land degradation in the arid and semi-arid areas and it is one the most serious environmental problems in the world. In Fars province, 17 cities are prone to wind erosion and are considered as critical zones of wind erosion. One of the most important factors in soil wind erosion is land use/cover change. T...

Introduction: Due to the detrimental consequences of the application of stabilizers such as mulch and other protectives on the soil surface, including the wafting of bad smell, blackening of the ground, increasing thermal coefficient, warming of the whole area, and even destruction of plants and their unsustainability in nature, wide use of such stabilizers could not be considered as a useful s...

The first step to controlling soil loss, is estimating of soil erosion amount. Universal soil loss Equation is One of the ways is widely used to estimate erosion, in which the absence of long term data. Effective force in the development of various forms of erosion is the power erosivity of runoff and rainfall and are expressed in erosivity index. This study aimed to evaluate the erosivity Inde...

in this thesis, barium ferrite nano particles were prepared by sol-gel method. their structural and magnetic properties of samples have been investigated using thermo gravimetric analysis (tg-dta), x-ray powder diffractometer (xrd), fourier transform infrared (ftir), scanning electron microscopy (sem), field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem), ac susceptometer, vibrating sample magne...

Wind erosion is one of the environmental problems worldwide, particularly in arid and semi-arid areas of Iran. Different methods and models have been proposed to measure and monitor wind erosion in the recent years. One of the accurate models for measuring f wind erosion is the USEPA model. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quantification of wind erosion with the USEPA model and the...

One of the main causes of air pollution in the arid areas of world, especially in Iran, is the increase of the PM10 concentration. The main objective of this research is to identify the most important climatic factors affecting the change of PM10 concentration near Yazd-Ardakan plain and its relation with wind erosion occurrence during the period from 2012 to 2017. For this purpose, the monthly...

The effects of vegetation on wind erosion, especially in arid areas, are known, but few studies have assessed the quantitative impact of plant species. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of plant species on wind erosion and deposits. Three experimental sites were selected in Sebri, Iran. Two sites contained two plant species, Launaea spinosa and Lactuca serriola of different s...
