    Abstract:

    By a wind tunnel experiment with an aeolian sand soil sample collected from a field, a study was carried out to ascertain the wind erosion characteristics of the soil under reclamation. Two factors influencing soil wind erosion, surface destruction and vegetation coverage were studied. After a seies of laboratory work, the quantitative relationships between wind erosion rate and surface destruction rate and between wind erosion rate and vegetation coverage percentage were established. It was found that the former relationship complied approximately with a second power function, while the latter could be expressed by an exponential function.By means of computerized simulation the correlation between wind erosion rate and land reclamation rate was found to follow an exponential function. Furthurmore, some surface destruction, vegetation coverage and land reclamation thresholds are suggested to prevent aeolian sand soils from wind erosion, and some required soil conditions and measures of aeolian sand soils to be reclaimed for wind erosion control are pointed out in the present article.
