Ly. Liu et al., DETERMINATION OF ERODIBLE PARTICLES ON CULTIVATED SOILS BY WIND-TUNNEL SIMULATION, Chinese Science Bulletin, 43(19), 1998, pp. 1646-1651
The erodible particle size distribution, diameter range and separate c
ontent of three sails from semi-arid regions or China were determined
at different wind velocities through wind tunnel simulation and dry si
eving. It was demonstrated that soil erodibility by wind depends not o
nly on the intrinsic soil properties, but also on the extrinsic erosio
n effect of the erosive winds. If was supposed that there existed gene
ral consistency In the mechanics of wind erosion on different soils.
