Soil surface aggregates (random roughness) and ridges (oriented roughness) can reduce
soil loss by wind erosion. The soil roughness factor used in the Wind Erosion Equation …

Surface roughness significantly reduces soil erosion by wind. Methods commonly used to
measure soil roughness function only in parallel and perpendicular directions to the oriented …

An improved wind erosion model (RWEQ) has been developed and validated with field
erosion data from 45 site years. In RWEQ, the residue, soil erodibility, and soil roughness …

Studies on soil wind erosion began with single factors affecting soil wind erosion; with
increasing quantities of data being accumulated, the wind erosion equation (WEQ), the …

The soil surface roughness is a main factor in all wind erosion prediction models, including
the Revised Wind Erosion Equation (RWEQ). The objective of this study was to test the …

The Revised Wind Erosion Equation (RWEQ) makes annual or period estimates of wind
erosion based on asingle event wind erosion model that includes factors for wind and …

Wind erosion is a dynamic process. During dry weather, blowing dust may appear in one
section of a field but not in another section. Many factors contribute to the dynamic nature of …

ABSTRACT The Wind Erosion Prediction System (WEPS) and Revised Wind Erosion
Equation (RWEQ) are widely used for estimating wind‐induced soil erosion at a field scale …

The shear stress generated by the wind on the land surface is the driving force that results in
the wind erosion of the soil. It is an independent factor influencing soil wind erosion. The …

Purpose Wind and water erosion are two dominant types of erosion that lead to losses of soil
and water; understanding their interactions is important for estimating soil quality and …
