Abstract Accurate and reliable methods of measuring windblown sediment are needed to confirm, validate, improve erosion models, assess the intensity aeolian processes related damage, determine source pollutants, for other applications. This paper outlines important principles consider in conducting field‐scale wind studies proposes strategies field data collection use model validation development. Detailed discussions include consideration characteristics, sampling, meteorological stations. The...
Abstract Soil dust particles emitted from agricultural areas contain considerable mass fractions of organic material. Also, soil may act as carriers for potentially ice‐active biological particles. In this work, we present ice nucleation experiments conducted in the Aerosol Interaction and Dynamics Atmosphere (AIDA) cloud chamber. We investigated efficiency four types different regions world. The results are expressed active surface site (INAS) densities presented immersion freezing...
Agroforestry is often discussed as a strategy that can be used both for the adaptation to and mitigation of climate change effects. The southern Africa predicted severely affected by such changes. With agriculture noted continent’s largest economic sector, issues food security land degradation are in forefront. In light concerns we review current literature investigate if agroforestry systems (AFS) suitable response challenges besetting traditional agricultural caused changing climate....
Abstract Tillage is an important cause of release particulate matter (PM) from soils. Measurements in Europe indicate that emission dust by tillage operations many times higher than natural wind erosion. In there are two periods when most carried out – spring and late summer. These under different soil moisture conditions. close to field capacity the surface dries mainly evaporation. At this a dry layer established, which only few centimetres thick impedes further A situation occurs summer,...
A Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment Rapid Assessment (SCOPE-RAP) workshop was held 18–22 March 2013. This hosted by European Commission, JRC Centre at Ispra, Italy, and brought together 40 leading experts from Africa, Asia, Europe North South America to create four synthesis chapters aimed identifying knowledge gaps, research requirements, policy innovations. Given forthcoming publication CABI a book volume outcomes SCOPE-RAP in 2014, this report provides an update global...
Abstract. Quantifying the impact of complex organic particles on formation ice crystals in clouds remains challenging, mostly due to vast number different sources ranging from sea spray agricultural areas. In particular, there are many open questions regarding nucleation properties released terrestrial such as decaying plant material. this work, we present results laboratory studies investigating immersion freezing individual compounds commonly found tissue and aerosol vegetated...
Mineral dust emissions from arable land are a significant environmental concern. Fugitive commonly arise during mechanical activities such as tilling and harvesting, while aeolian occur sparsely vegetated cropland, particularly the transitional phases between fresh tillage substantial vegetation growth hence coverage of bare soil. Suspended in atmosphere, aerosol particles originating suposedly affect human health, reduce air quality, can economically impact agricultural productivity due to...
The northeastern steppe landscape of Kazakhstan, with its loess soils, flat terrain, and erosive climate, is highly susceptible to aeolian processes, which can lead extensive variable soil mobilisation deposition. Although agricultural activity has been low in recent decades, the introduction modern practices intensified agriculture, potentially leading greater plastic emissions from irrigation plant growth protection systems. Despite global research on microplastics (MP,
Abstract Intensive grazing leads to land degradation and desertification of grassland ecosystems followed by serious environmental social problems. The Xilingol steppe in Inner Mongolia, China, which has been a sink area for dust centuries, is strongly affected the negative effects overgrazing wind erosion. aim this study provision erosion risk map with spatial high resolution 25 m identify actual source areas. In an integrative approach, field measurements vegetation features surface...
Livestock manure is recycled to agricultural land as organic fertilizer. Due the extensive usage of antibiotics in conventional animal farming, antibiotic-resistant bacteria are highly prevalent feces and manure. The spread wind-driven particulate matter (PM) with potentially associated harmful through application may pose a threat environmental human health. We studied whether PM was aerosolized during solid dried livestock functional relationship between release, dry content (DM),...
Along with industry and transportation, agriculture is one of the main sources primary particulate matter (PM) emissions worldwide. Bioaerosol formation PM release during livestock manure field application associated threats to environmental human health are rarely investigated. In temperate climate zone, fertilization seasonally contributes local air pollution regularly twice per year (spring autumn). Measurements in a wind tunnel, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were...
The paper presents the development, adaptive improvement and use of method to estimate wind erosion risk in Germany for Cross Compliance (CC) regulations, based on German standard DIN19706. It is illustrated by example Federal State Brandenburg. A landscape structure model was developed which calculates sheltering effects elements. Basic inputs are heights all elements frequencies directions erosive winds. In combination with soil map erodibility derived a high spatial resolution according...
