Abstract:
With global warming and drought enhancement, the geomorphic process of wind erosion landforms becomes one of the main surficial processes in arid and semi-arid areas. However, compared with wind accumulated landforms, less attention has been given to the wind erosion landforms. This paper reviews the processes of initiation, evolution, dynamics and geomorphology of yardangs and blowouts. Yardang and blowout are two main wind erosion landforms, one is positive and one is negative. The generation of yardangs results from complex interactions between internal factors and external factors, and they are also influenced by weathering process, fluvial erosion and mass movement. Aerodynamic system produces differential pressures giving rise to vorticity which is one of the most frequent and important wind movements responsible for the erosion. Blowout geomorphology, dynamics and evolution are also examined. Blowouts are the threshold of grasslands converting to shrublands in arid and semi-arid ecosystems. Throughout the review, the gaps in present understanding of dune processes and a range of ideas for new research possibilities are provided.
