Abstract: Abstract Plants can reduce the effects of wind erosion on erodible surfaces by absorbing momentum near sandy surfaces. We used models having the same cross-sectional shape as three common plants in the arid regions of… read more here.

Abstract: Wind‐blown sand over Gobi can cause severe sand abrasion. The vertical flux profiles, especially that of the kinetic energy (KE), determine the erosion intensity. However, the vertical distribution of the KE flux of wind‐blown sand… read more here.
