Abstract
Purpose Soil strength and thus stability concerning wind erosion are controlled by the soil water content. The concept of soil critical water content (Θcrit.) for deflation was extended to include matric potential (Ψcrit.) as well. The focus of this paper is to quantify the Θcrit. and Ψcrit. as the upper boundary for wind erosion or as the lower boundary for soil strength, to model the Ψcrit. at the immediate soil surface (0–0.2 cm) and to evaluate the effect of soil moisture upon erosion as a function of time and sampling height.
