TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of vegetation pattern on wind-blown mass transport was investigated in Atriplex halimus, and the results showed that the transport within a land unit is affected by the neighboring land units and by the vegetation pattern within both the unit itself and the neighbouring land units, and that re-vegetation plans for degraded land can take into account the'streets' effect (zones of erosion areas similar to streets).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the performance of the Khlosi model with four parameters to the other models for textural analysis of 137 undisturbed soils from the Unsaturated Soil Hydraulic Database.

TL;DR: In this paper, the short-term effect of five organic amendments and compared them to plots fertilized with inorganic fertilizer and unfertilized plots on aggregate stability and hydraulic conductivity, and on the OC and ON distribution in physically separated SOM fractions.

TL;DR: In this article, a wind tunnel is installed at the International Centre for Eremology (I.C.E.), Ghent University, Belgium, which not only enables to study wind and water erosion processes separately, but also to investigate the interaction and the combined effect of wind and Water on soil movement.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated different aggregate stability methodologies for loamy sand soils and compared them in terms of a detachability index (DI), which is the ratio of the Mean Weight Diameter after wet sieving (MWDW) to that before wet sishing (MWDD).
