Provides a numeric rating in each raster cell of the potential for wind erosion in the event that vegetation or other ground cover has been removed. The assessment is based on mapping of terrain and spatial predictions of inherent soil erodibility characteristics. Also available for download: Soil Wind Erosion Potential (based on Soil Landscape Map Units of Southern South Australia) and Soil Erosion Max Potential - Wind or Water.

Water erosion potential, based on Soil Landscape Map Units of Southern South Australia, describes the susceptibility of land to sheet or rill erosion due to overland flow of water. Mapping shows the dominant water erosion potential class, while detailed proportion data are supplied for calculating respective areas of each water erosion potential class (spatial data statistics).

A polygonal map of wind erosion susceptibility in the Victorian Mallee. The dataset was created by assigning relative susceptibility classes to landform component data mapped during the disaggregation of land systems project (refer to separate metadata entry). The classifications represent the inherent susceptibility of the component to wind erosion based on its exposure to erosive winds and its 'likely' soil texture grade. In some instances a landform component has been split into facets in order to assign varying classes of susceptibility across the component. The project was sponsored by the Mallee Catchment Management Authority with funding from the Federal government's Caring for our Country initiative. The final project report, "Mallee wind erosion susceptibility mapping" together with the "Disaggregation of landform components within land systems of the Mallee", and the Rowan and Downes (1963) report , "A study of the land of north-western Victoria", should be referred to when analysing or utilising this dataset. Regional Map Units (RMUs) in the Mallee developed during the land system disaggregation project and refined in this project have been ranked for their overall wind erosion susceptibility. These units and the finer-scale grid data can be used to make spatially strategic decisions for investment in research, monitoring, protection and management relating to wind erosion in the region.

Provides a numeric rating in each raster cell of the potential for erosion by wind or water in the event that vegetation or other ground cover has been removed (e.g. by fire, over-grazing, land clearance). The assessment is based on mapping of terrain and spatial predictions of inherent soil erodibility characteristics.

This dataset is a ranking of estimated wind erosion risk for agricultural lands. Agricultural lands are defined here as those areas under cropping and grazing. The dataset was created in a multi-criteria analysis by combining (i) a modelled map of wind erosion severity for the period 2000 to 2010, (ii) an index map of the total soil nutrient loss, and (iii) maps of ‘room for improvement’ in ground cover management on agricultural lands within natural resource management (NRM) regions. It was developed to be used with a priority ranking for each NRM region to locate where in a NRM region the wind erosion investment area is and its priority. Definition of classes 1. Low risk of wind erosion for agricultural land 2. Moderate risk of wind erosion for agricultural land 3. High risk of wind erosion for agricultural land Detail on how the dataset was created is in Leys et al. (2017).

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.

,There are very few reports in the literature with field measurements of wind erosion flux associated with different forms of tillage management. Measurements of wind erosion flux were conducted to quantify the effects of soil tillage disturbance on wind erosion at a site in south central North Dakota USA in 2003 and 2004. The study was conducted on the Area IV Soil Conservation Districts Research Farm. The study site consisted of gently rolling topography (0-3%) with Temvik-Wilton silt loam soils (USDA: Fine-silty, mixed, superactive frigid Typic and Pachic Haplustolls). Three tillage treatments were included in the study: no-tillage (NT), an intermediate level of disturbance, one-pass tandem disk tillage (TDT), and a heavier level of disturbance, two-pass offset disk tillage (ODT). Erosion flux was measured with sediment samplers of the Big Spring Number Eight type from May through September each year. Sediment samplers were positioned near the peripheries of plots and captured soil flux between 5 and 10 cm height. Vertical flux profile was determined by stacked sediment samplers capturing flux at five heights between 5 and 100 cm. Measurements were applied to soil wind erodibility factors, including multiple within-season determinations of prostrate residue coverage (including live material) by marked cable technique, standing residue by photographic means, soil surface roughness by chain method, and twice per season determinations of aggregate size distribution by compact rotary sieve. Data associated with this study should be of interest to soil conservationists, soil scientists, earth scientists, agronomists and others interested in the increased erosion hazards occurring as result of global climate change. Data are generally applicable to croplands under a semiarid Continental climate for the following soil types: Grassna, Linton, Mandan, Temvik, Williams, and Wilton.,
