Soil erosion by wind

Title: Soil loss by wind erosion in European agricultural soils (Quantitative assessment) Description: GIS-RWEQ is a simplified GIS-based application of the RWEQ model (ARS-USDA). It follows a spatially distributed approach based on a grid structure, running in R and Python scripts. The model scheme is designed to describe the daily soil loss potential at regional or larger scale. A complete description of the methodology and the application in Europe is described in the paper: Borrelli, P., Lugato, E., Montanarella, L., & Panagos, P. (2016).
