The Road Map to Classify the Potential Risk of Wind Erosion

Environmental degradation, for example, by wind erosion, is a serious global problem. Despite the enormous research on this topic, complex methods considering all relevant factors remain unpublished. The main intent of our paper to develop methodological road map identify key soil–climatic conditions that make soil vulnerable and demonstrate in case study using data source. Potential erosion (PWE) results from erosivity climate erosivity. Soil directly reflects wind-erodible fraction indirectly soil-crust factor, vegetation-cover factor surface-roughness factor. climatic drought surface layer, erosive occurrence clay soil-specific winter regime, making these soils erosion. novelty method lies following: (1) are combined; (2) different types “sand” “clay” evaluated simultaneously with respect mechanisms erosion; (3) enables its application various conditions. Based method, it possible set threshold values that, when exceeded, trigger landscape adjustments, more detailed situ measurements or indicate need specific management.
