Future research also needs to consider other dust processes, such as the surface erodibility of different dust source regions and how dust enters into the atmosphere, both of which have been studied by Yang and his other collaborators. (sciencedaily.com)
Both areas are on shallow siliceous soils of low fertility and high erodibility formed on primarily granitic rocks. (ambergriscaye.com)
soil erodibility changes due to a decrease in soil organic matter concentrations (which lead to a soil structure that is more susceptible to erosion) and to increased runoff (due to increased soil surface sealing and crusting); (ipcc.ch)
