The Wind Erosion Prediction System (WEPS) is a process-based, daily time-step, computer model that predicts soil erosion via simulation of the fundamental processes controlling wind erosion. WEPS can calculate soil movement, estimate plant damage, and predict PM-10 emissions when wind speeds exceed the erosion threshold. It also can provide the user with spatial information regarding soil flux,...

wind is an important erosive force in deserts, where limited cover of vascular plant material offers little soil-surface protection. erosion and sediment from soil surfaces occurs when wind forces exceed soil threshold friction velocities. soils with physical or biological crusts usually resist wind erosion. this study was conducted by the aim of investigation the effect of trichoderma harzianu...

nowadays, wind erosion and dust have become environmental problems, not only in desertareas, but throughout the entire country, which have imposed many costs on the country budget.combating wind erosion in many deserts using adapted plants and oil mulch has 40 years history.but the widespread use of petroleum mulches in addition to environmental problems is noteconomically justified due to the ...

In this research, the impact of a carbon sequestration project, in the Hossein Abad Plain in Southern Khorasan Province of Iran, on the status of water and wind erosion was evaluated. The study area has a harsh climatic condition with low annual precipitation and is prone to well-known 120-day winds in summer. Since 2005, various soil conservation treatments (plantations, over-sowing, plantatio...

Wind is the principal driver of the Wind Erosion Prediction System (WEPS), which is a process−based computer model for the simulation of wind−blown sediment loss from a field. WEPS generates wind using a stochastic wind generator. The objectives of this study were to improve the stochastic generation of wind speed and direction and to update the wind statistics used by the generator with statis...

in order to recognize the wind erosion situation of a region, the survey of its windiness is not sufficient and the physical characteristics of earth are of importance too. in fact, the outbreak of dust storms in a region is due to the sensitivity of earth and domination of wind in that region. in this investigation we have tried to find a way for determining the regions in which a dust storm i...
