This study attempted to investigate the potential of sugarcane press mud (PM) as a
secondary additive in conjunction with lime for the stabilization of an expansive soil. The …

Wind erosion is considered as one of the most influential factors in the destruction of land in
arid and deserted areas. There is a weak ecosystem in arid lands which wind erosion can …

Due to the heavy costs of wind erosion control measures, the correct selection of technical
methods is indispensable for a sustainable land management in arid and semiarid regions …

Soil erosion is a threat to the inhabitant of arid and semiarid regions Soil and sand dune

Wind erosion could be regarded as one of the most important phenomena especially in arid
lands in the globe, which destroys vast areas with its rapid growth. Due to global droughts …

Mulching is known as one of the fastest strategies to control wind erosion and sand dunes
movement. We hypothesized that mixed micro silica with clay, gypsum and clay-gypsum as …

Soil is a vital resource for the terrestrial ecosystem. Soil is a non-renewable natural resource
on human time scales with its vulnerability to desertification and degradation relying on …

In the past half-century, petroleum mulching-biological fixation (PM-BF) practices have been
employed to stabilize sand dunes in Iran. However, the effects of PM-BF practices on the …

Providing durable mulches with improved resistance using cheap materials in order to
stabilize drifting sands is very important. Micro silica is one of these materials which in …

The present study was conducted to determine the responses of sand dunes, using different
restorative measures on different decadal time-scales in desert lands of southwest Iran. The …
