“…Climatic factors were the key controlling factors leading to the change of wind erosion dynamics . Wind speed was the most important climatic factor affecting WEPS transmission. ,, There were 680 records of daily average wind speed exceeding the sand-raising threshold wind speed (5.47 m/s) (Figure e), with an average wind speed of 5.48–12.30 m/s. The wind speed records showed a decreasing trend in gale days (>5.47 m/s) over the past 20 years.…”

The large-scale and cross-regional payment for ecosystem services (PES) contributes positively to ecology-economy balance and thus helps prevent environmental challenges such as "sand storm". However, existing PES programs often overlook the connection between service-providing areas (SPAs) and servicebenefiting areas (SBAs). Here, we developed an interregional PES framework based on the theory of ecosystem services flow and applied it to the largest Chinese grassland nature reserve, Xilingol Prairie, to quantitatively identify SPAs, SBAs, and flow paths of the ecosystem wind erosion prevention service (WEPS). We showed that, from 2000 to 2020, the grassland ecosystem of Xilingol Prairie had brought an annual WEPS benefit of 1.21 × 10 8 t/a and economic value of 12.44 × 10 8 CNY/a, accounting for approximately 107.71% of the GDP in the same area and year and with a slightly increasing trend in most areas. We reveal obvious seasonal (over half in the spring) and interannual variations in the benefit and that Inner Mongolia, Hebei, and Northeast China are the most important beneficiaries of WEPS, rather than Beijing and Tianjin as traditionally thought. Our results warn that the WEPS supply capacity will not last long and call for finer spatial (e.g., among cities) and temporal (e.g., focus on the spring) resolution for PES policy design.

Influences of Wind Erosion on EnvironmentSoil as a vital resource provides numerous goods and services to humanity [1]. Globally, nearly 549 million hm 2 of land, primarily in arid regions, exhibit accelerated wind erosion [2], accounting for the approximate 30% of the land surface on the earth [3]. Wind erosion represents a common form of soil degradation [4], and is one of the most pressing environmental challenges in arid and semi-arid areas [5,6]. Wind erosion has resulted in the reduction of land productivity, which poses a considerable challenge to the sustainable development of agriculture. Additionally, wind erosion can impair carbon transport, resulting in a transformation of the global biogeochemical cycle

“…Snow cover is also related to the slow increase in dust emissions from August to December. The increase mainly occurs in areas of exposed bare ground, but snow cover can also directly affect dust emissions [51]. During this period, dust emissions increase gradually due to windy winter weather, but do not exceed those of late winter and spring, despite the frequency of dusty weather being slightly higher than in summer.…”

Wind erosion can cause high dust emissions from agricultural land and can lead to a significant loss of carbon and nutrients from the soil. The carbon balance of farmland soil is an integral part of the carbon cycle, especially under the current drive to develop carbon-neutral practices. However, the amount of global carbon lost due to the wind erosion of farmland is unknown. In this study, global farmland dust emissions were estimated from a dust emission inventory (0.1° × 0.1°, daily) built using the improved Community Multiscale Air Quality Modeling System–FENGSHA (CMAQ-FENGSHA), and global farmland organic carbon losses were estimated by combining this with global soil organic carbon concentration data. The average global annual dust emissions from agricultural land from 2017 to 2021 were 1.75 × 109 g/s. Global dust emissions from agricultural land are concentrated in the UK, Ukraine, and Russia in Europe; in southern Canada and the central US in North America; in the area around Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, in South America; and in northeast China in Asia. The global average annual organic carbon loss from agricultural land was 2970 Gg for 2017–2021. The spatial distribution of emissions is roughly consistent with that of dust emissions, which are mainly concentrated in the world’s four major black soil regions. These estimates of dust and organic carbon losses from agricultural land are essential references that can inform the global responses to the carbon cycle, dust emissions, and black soil conservation.
