This study investigates the durability of biocemented sand crust under environmental
stresses for wind erosion control. The crusts were created through microbial precipitation of …

Wind erosion is one of the significant natural calamities worldwide, which degrades around
one-third of global land. The eroded and suspended soil particles in the environment may …

Wind erosion phenomenon is commonly encountered in desert areas, which is harmful to
engineering constructions and environment. This study proposed an innovative microbial …

One-third of the global land area suffers from wind erosion, and its prevention is a critical
issue in arid regions of the world. During a wind erosion event, the impacts of saltating …

Purpose Wind-induced erosion is a serious problem that yields soil degradation and
environmental pollution. Biocementation technologies have shown potential for sand fixation …

Biocementation, based on microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP), is a novel soil
improvement method, which can form a cemented layer on the surface of desert sand to …

Crusts on soil surfaces are well recognized for wind erosion control in arid regions and mine
tailings. In the last two decades, the use of microorganisms for crust formation on the soil …

This paper examines biocementation via the microbial-induced carbonate precipitation
(MICP) process as an appropriate and promising new technology for stabilisation of loose …

Dust events are among the serious environmental challenges in some countries.
Sustainable solutions can be applied to tackle this problem by considering soil as a living …

Wind erosion is a natural phenomenon that has been widening due to anthropogenic
activities. One-third of the global land area suffers from wind erosion and its prevention is a …
