Abstract

Wind erosion is influenced by a complex set of interacting physical processes governed by four main factors: climate; soil state; surface roughness; and land management practice. Wind erosion events in Australia are variable in spatial extent and intermittent in time, and they are often associated with mesoscale frontal systems, under dry weather conditions. During erosion, fine soil particles rich in nutrients and organic matter can be carried away by wind over large distances, l
