Abstract | Wind erosion is an internationally recognised land degradation problem and affects approximately 28% of the global land area. In Australia, the arid and semi-arid zone covers over 70% of the continent and is the largest dust source in the Southern Hemisphere with approximate 5% of the global total. The Lake Eyre Basin, Channel Country and the Mallee region are the main dust source regions in eastern Australia and severe dust storms have the potential to transport millions of tonnes of fertile topsoil from inland Australia to places as far as New Zealand, New Caledonia and Antarctic. |
