Abstract:Wind erosion is a critical environmental issue that degrades land and air quality, affecting global ecosystems, agriculture, and human health. Yet, on the global scale, the long-term spatial variability and controlling factors of wind erosion remain highly uncertain. Here, we develop a high-resolution spatiotemporal dataset of global wind erosion from 1980 to 2020 using the Revised Wind Erosion Equation model, integrated with comprehensive meteorological, terrestrial ecology, and soil datasets. Our analysis in… Show more
