Effects of enhanced wind erosion on surface soil texture and characteristics of windblown sediments

It is well documented that wind redistributes and transports soil resources in semiarid ecosystems. However, fewer studies have quantitatively linked wind erosion to detailed grain‐size fractions and associated nutrient content in surface soil and windblown sediment. In this study, we examined (1) t...
