Aeolian desertification has impacts on ecosystems, agriculture, industry, transportation, and
human health, and these impacts are caused by wind erosion, sediment deposition, sand …

Dust storms originate in many of the world's drylands and frequently present hazards to
human society, both within the drylands themselves but also outside drylands due to long …

Abstract Sand and Dust Storms (SDS) are often considered as a natural phenomenon
typical of the remote desert regions. It is becoming clear, however, that human activities also …

Aeolian dust, resulting from wind erosion, is controlled by two major factors: aeolian erosivity
(ie, wind speed) and aeolian erodibility (ie, land surface conditions). Erodibility factors …

Asian dust events are massive meteorological phenomena during which dust particles from
Chinese and Mongolian deserts are blown into the atmosphere and carried by westerly …

The aeolian transport of dust is an important process in Central Asia. Anthropogenic
desertification and the desiccation of the Aral Sea have increased the overall dust emission …

The occurrence of sand-dust storms induced by wind erosion is a process that accelerates
land degradation and can also be considered as an indicator of desertification. Thus, it is of …

The development and reversal of aeolian desertification have been widely recognised as
the dominant causes of changes in the source areas of dust storms. The Alashan Plateau …

Dust storms may originate in many of the world's drylands and have an effect not only on
human health in the drylands themselves but also in downwind environments, including …

Sandy desertification is both an inherently interesting bioscience and geoscience topic and
an important topic from the perspectives of the ecological environment and food security. It …
