Combined effect of micro silica with clay, and gypsum as mulches on shear strength and wind erosion rate of sands
Mulching is known as one of the fastest strategies to control wind erosion and sand dunes movement. We hypothesized that mixed micro silica with clay, gypsum and clay-gypsum as mulches will increase shear strength, threshold friction velocity and decrease soil losses of drifting sands. For this purp...
