The Wind Erosion Equation

The Wind Erosion Equation estimates how much soil is likely to be moved by wind. It considers factors such as wind speed, how much loose soil is available, the size of soil particles, and surface conditions. When wind speeds exceed a certain threshold, wind can lift and carry soil particles away, leading to erosion. The equation helps predict erosion risks by combining these variables, aiding in the development of land management practices to reduce soil loss and protect the environment.
