Vulnerable Soils: Wind Erosion Hazard
공공데이터포털
Wind erosion hazard was digitally mapped as part of the DPIPWE Water for Profit Program to enhance identification of Enterprise Suitability by effectively incorporating a sustainability measure of vulnerable soils. The mapping shows areas where a wind erosion hazard might exist if sufficient groundcover is not maintained, which could lead to soil resource degradation through soil, organic matter and nutrient loss after significant wind events. Assigned classes are; Nil, Low, Moderate and High as classified ratings of a wind erosion index. The index was generated by combining Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) inputs of the soil properties Coarse Fragments, Sand %, Clay %, Organic Carbon %, Soil Structure, with ratings developed by the DPIPWE Land Degradation and Salinity Risk assessments. The mapping covers the entire state of Tasmania at 30m resolution.
Wind Erosion Risk
공공데이터포털
This map displays the risk of soil degradation by wind in the agricultural region of Alberta. Wind erosion is a concern because it reduces soil quality by removing soil nutrients, smaller soil particles and organic matter. Wind erosion can reduce air quality during extreme erosion events and also reduce water quality if eroded particles drift into streams and lakes. The map uses five classes to describe the wind erosion risk on bare, unprotected mineral soil: negligible, low, moderate, high and severe. This resource was created using ArcGIS. It was originally published as a print map in 1989.

Wind erosion potential, based on Soil Landscape Map Units of Southern South Australia, describes the susceptibility of land to erosion by wind, which is particularly an issue on sand and sandy loam soils. Mapping shows the degree and variability of wind erosion potential, while detailed proportion data are supplied for calculating respective areas of each wind erosion potential class (spatial data statistics).
