Initiation and variation of the dune fields in semi-arid China–with a special reference to the Hunshandake Sandy Land, Inner Mongolia
Sedimentary sequences occurring in desert dunes reflect changes in desert systems, and as
such may contain signals useful for recognizing spatial and temporal changes of deserts …

[图书][B] Dune worlds: How windblown sand shapes planetary landscapes
RD Lorenz, JR Zimbelman - 2014 - Springer
This book describes how sand dunes work, why they are the way they are in different
settings, and how they are being studied. Particular attention is paid to their formation and …

Sand dune mobility under climate change in the Kalahari and Australian deserts
Vegetation cover on sand dunes mainly depends on wind power (drift potential—DP) and
precipitation. When this cover decreases below a minimal percentage, dunes will start …

Sand dune dynamics and climate change: A modeling approach
We provide several examples for the coexistence of active and fixed sand dunes under
similar climatic conditions, namely, with respect to wind power and precipitation rate. A …

Wind regime and sand transport in China's Badain Jaran Desert
Z Zhang, Z Dong, C Li - Aeolian Research, 2015 - Elsevier
Wind controls the formation and development of aeolian dunes, therefore understanding the
wind environment is necessary in aeolian dune research. In recent years, climate has …

Why do active and stabilized dunes coexist under the same climatic conditions?
Sand dunes can be active (mobile) or stable, mainly as a function of vegetation cover and
wind power. However, there exists as yet unexplained evidence for the coexistence of bare …
