The analysis identified 10 and 11 effective variables controlling water and wind erosions, among 20 and 17 potential variables, respectively, via the MARS feature selection algorithm.

Accordingly, this study aimed to quantify how soil wind erosion potential is affected by soil aggregate properties, such as dry aggregate geometric mean diameter (GMD), aggregate geometric standard deviation (GSD), aggregate stability, and soil bulk density, and to assess the effects of soil type, crop rotation, irrigation, fertilization, and tillage treatments on these aggregate properties in the main wind erosion area across the FPYR. Significant differences in GMD and aggregate stability were found between crop rotation treatments, whereas crop rotation marginally affected the soil bulk density. Further, the impact of management practices on aggregate properties differed for each soil type. The soil aggregate erodible fraction (EF) in the FPYR ranged from 1.14 to 82.73% across sites, with a mean of 26.14% across soil types and management practices, which was lower than that previously reported in other wind erosion regions. We incorporated these measured EFs into the Revised Wind Erosion Equation (RWEQ) to evaluate the wind erosion risk of the FPYR.

The grain size of the primary ridge is noticeably coarser than that of the subsidiary ridge. These dunes seem to have evolved from barchans. Under a north-northeast wind, barchans reshaped to asymmetrical barchans by extending their southeast limbs and eroding their northwest limbs, causing the ridge to be oblique to the resultant drift direction. The strong east-northeast wind erodes and reshapes the primary ridge, transporting fine sand to the northwest and resulting in the formation of proto-subsidiary ridges.

It has serious adverse effects on human health. The Sahara is one of the world's dustiest areas. This investigation intends to uncover the underlying reasons for atmospheric dust dispersion throughout the year by tracking the dust<!--> <!-->transport and deposition in Central Europe, focusing on arid areas of North Africa. In this paper, we use the GDAS (Global Data Assimilation System) archival meteorological database to compute the analytical forward trajectories and configure the particle concentrations using the HYSPLIT (Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory) model. Besides, we investigate the synoptic meteorological conditions of acute Saharan dust episodes to determine the dynamic atmospheric system during their onset. The forward trajectories reveal the seasonality of wind-blown dust throughout the year. Dust storms are typically more prevalent in the spring, with a second peak in the Summer. As a result, particle transport takes various paths as the seasons and climatic conditions change. The most dust-laden masses, which reach high altitudes from the source areas, are often transported to Central Europe, where their seasonal distribution is relatively similar to that of the studied African region. However, the intensity and frequency of Saharan dust events (SDEs) have significantly changed in the previous decades, with an increased number of intense winter storms. According to the synoptic analysis, this variability is strongly linked to two factors. (1) The intensity and lifetime variation of the Mediterranean cyclones and (2) Climate change triggered lee-side (Sharav) cyclogenesis modified by the topographic complexity of Atlas.
