“…Both studies did not find differences of DAS between management systems in a wide range of soil textures. Hevia et al (2007) found that dry aggregation was different in a soil submitted to different management practices, while López et al (2001) found similar trends in a wide range of soils with different textures and chemical composition.…”

“…This is specifically true for sandy loam and loam soils in semiarid regions that developed under grassland vegetation. Therefore, dry sieved aggregates could be considered to represent more truly the actual state of aggregation and soil structure, and differences in size of these aggregates have been associated with the effect of different tillage practices (Hevia and Buschiazzo, 2007). Dry aggregate fractions are obtained by gentle hand manipulation followed by sieving (Douglas and Goss, 1982) as in contrast to water stable aggregates fractionated by suspension and wet sieving.…”

“…However, a lack of accurate information on such factors as metrological data and soil types leads to a critical limitation in the study of large-scale soil wind erosion (Jiang et al, 2003;Hevia et al, 2007). Currently, systematic research in this regard is mostly at the macro level and focuses on natural conditions of wind erosion, sandstorm activities and regular sandstorm movement (McHenry and Ritchie, 1977;Sutherland et al, 1991;Bajracharya et al, 1998;Merrill et al, 1999;Zhang et al, 2003;Buschiazzo and Zobeck, 2008).…”

Studies of wind erosion based on Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) have not attracted sufficient attention because they are limited by natural and scientific factors. Few studies have been conducted to estimate the intensity of large-scale wind erosion in Inner Mongolia, China. In the present study, a new model based on five factors including the number of snow cover days, soil erodibility, aridity, vegetation index and wind field intensity was developed to quantitatively estimate the amount of wind erosion. The results showed that wind erosion widely existed in Inner Mongolia. It covers an area of approximately 90×10 4 km 2 , accounting for 80% of the study region. During 1985-2011, wind erosion has aggravated over the entire region of Inner Mongolia, which was indicated by enlarged zones of erosion at severe, intensive and mild levels. In Inner Mongolia, a distinct spatial differentiation of wind erosion intensity was noted. The distribution of change intensity exhibited a downward trend that decreased from severe increase in the southwest to mild decrease in the northeast of the region. Zones occupied by barren land or sparse vegetation showed the most severe erosion, followed by land occupied by open shrubbery. Grasslands would have the most dramatic potential for changes in the future because these areas showed the largest fluctuation range of change intensity. In addition, a significantly negative relation was noted between change intensity and land slope. The relation between soil type and change intensity differed with the content of CaCO 3 and the surface composition of sandy, loamy and clayey soils with particle sizes of 0-1 cm. The results have certain significance for understanding the mechanism and change process of wind erosion that has occurred during the study period. Therefore, the present study can provide a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of wind erosion in Inner Mongolia. Citation: Yi ZHOU, Bing GUO, ShiXin WANG, HePing TAO. 2015.
