Wind Erosion in Western Queensland Australia

Chapter 7 – Land Erodibility Dynamics 1980-2006Figure 7.3 Map showing the percentage of years in the period 1980 to 2006 in which land in the studyarea was modelled as having high, moderate, low and no susceptibility to wind erosion.Areas that frequently have a moderate land erodibility ranking extend from the higherodibility regions. These areas expand across the driest parts of the study area, covering thewestern and southern portions of the Channel Country, the Strzelecki dunefields and thewestern half of the Mulga Lands. A belt of moderately erodible land frequently extendsnorth-east from the Channel Country into the Mitchell Grass Downs near Longreach (seeFigure 7.1; Chapter 1, Section 1.6).175
