Description :
A preliminary study of eolian erosion from an agricultural field was undertaken during the late winter of 2002 and early spring of 1999. Results indicate that wind erosion is a significant process on agricultural fields of the North Carolina Coastal plain. Erosion was focused over soils that are better drained. Soil moisture and topography appear to be the primary controls on spatial erosion differences and soil characteristics likely play a secondary role.
