Research Trends and Areas of Focus on Wind Erosion: A Bibliometric Analysis during 1941-2022

Abstract

Influences of Wind Erosion on EnvironmentSoil as a vital resource provides numerous goods and services to humanity [1]. Globally, nearly 549 million hm 2 of land, primarily in arid regions, exhibit accelerated wind erosion [2], accounting for the approximate 30% of the land surface on the earth [3]. Wind erosion represents a common form of soil degradation [4], and is one of the most pressing environmental challenges in arid and semi-arid areas [5,6]. Wind erosion has resulted in the reduction of land productivity, which poses a considerable challenge to the sustainable development of agriculture. Additionally, wind erosion can impair carbon transport, resulting in a transformation of the global biogeochemical cycle
