Abstract

ABSTRACT Wind erosion of granular clay soils in fallow fields occurs during the winter months in southern Manitoba. The eroded clay grains first accumulate in and on snowdrifts and are later left as elongate low ridges of sandsized aggregates of clay particles. Although these clay aggregates may eventually break down and form a uniform clay deposit, they remained as distinct aggregates throughout the summer following deposition. Such deposits may be formed in the glacial or periglacial environment or adjacent to areas such as floodplains, dry lagoons, or dry lake plains where clay-rich materials are subjected to fragmentation but are not stabilized by vegetation.
