Wind erosion in agricultural soils : an example of limited supply of particles available for erosion

Auteur :
LÓPEZ, M.V.

Description :
Due to particular soil and climate conditions and inappropriate agricultural practices, Central Aragón (NE Spain) is a semiarid region prone to land degradation by wind erosion. A field study was conducted during the summer 1995 to provide a first quantification of wind erosion in agricultural soils of this region. This paper focuses on the mouldboard ploughing experiment, analysing in detail changes in vertical dust flux with time in response to changes in soil surface erodibility.
