Wind Erosion in Western Queensland Australia

Chapter 4 –Modelling Soil Erodibility Dynamicsmeasuring their influence on soil aggregation and crust conditions (e.g. Bird et al., 2007). Abenefit of this approach is that information gains can be accelerated as experiments are notdependent on longer-term variations in climate or management (Merrill et al., 1997).Exploring the application of remote sensing technologies to determine soil erodibility (e.g.Chappell et al., 2006; Chappell et al., 2007) may present further opportunities for monitoringerodibility dynamics over large areas.Figure 4.7 Flow chart illustrating factors that should be considered when designing new experimentalstudies to quantify soil erodibility relationships with environmental dynamics.126
