Investigation of wind erosion process for estimation, prevention, and control of DSS in Yazd–Ardakan plain

Abstract: Wind erosion is a phenomenon that is reasonably common in regions where dry winds blow. For the most part, these regions correspond to the dry lands; areas where the soil, generally, is dry and shifting and lacks vegetation for most of the year. The winds are sufficiently strong to lift and move sands and soil particles. The repeated removal of superficial layers by the action of winds can modify the texture of the topsoil, by removing the fine particles and leaving the larger particles. Dust and sandstorm (DS… Show more

“…These furnaces are located in the direction of east and north‐east winds that transport dust particles to the surrounding areas and Isfahan city in summer season causing health, social and economic problems (Bureau of Desert Affairs, ; Keramat et al ., ; Requier Desjardins et al ., ). Before starting gypsum exploitation, most of the plain was covered by pebbles and gravels called ‘desert pavement’ (Ekhtesasi & Sepehr, ). This natural mulch is very important in desert regions with sparse vegetation cover and protects soil from wind erosion.…”

“…We applied a process similar to Delphi method for this purpose (Clark, Applegate, Niles, & Dobkin, 2006;Liou, 1992). We conducted a comprehensive review of the literature (Aalders et al, 2011;Abbasi-Jandani & Malekinejad, 2012;Ekhtesasi & Ahmadi, 1995;Ekhtesasi & Sepehr, 2009;Jafari & Bakhshandehmehr, 2016;Khanamani et al, 2017;Yang, Abbaspour, & Zhang, 2002) and held meetings with an agrologist and a hydrologist to identify factors affecting soil quality, groundwater index, and wind erosion rate. We adopted the approach described by Marcot et al (2006) to develop influence diagrams based on the acquired information.…”

“…Because wind erosion is influenced by the climatic conditions (Skidmore, 1986), it mainly occurs in arid regions with dry soils containing a low moisture content and lack of vegetation cover for most of the year (Ekhtesasi and Sepehr, 2009;Mahmoodabadi, 2011;Broomandi et al, 2017;Hereher, 2018). Rainfall deficiency and the difference in temperature between mountain and plain areas are major climatic factors affecting wind speed and, consequently, the wind erosion rate (Ekhtesasi and Sepehr, 2009). Under these conditions, sand dunes are formed as they are highly susceptible to wind erosion activity in a region (Broomandi et al, 2017).…”

“…Aeolian transport is an essential issue in wind erosion studies because it is an important geomorphological process that threatens the arid ecosystems severely (Dong et al, 2012). In addition, aeolian transport causes several problems, such as damaging crops, desertification, degrading soil resources by removing fine fertile particles and leaving coarse particles from the soil surface (Goossens, 2004;Ekhtesasi and Sepehr, 2009;Dong et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2016;Kheirabadi et al, 2018). In general, aeolian transport is a result of wind and soil surface interactions and, therefore, depends strongly on wind characteristics and soil surface properties (Bagnold, 1941;Dong et al, 2012;Deng, 2016;Rezaei Arshad et al, 2019;Shahabinejad et al, 2019aShahabinejad et al, , 2019b.…”
