    Abstract
    Crop residues play a vital role in reducing the potential for wind erosion of agricultural soils in arid and semi-arid regions. The residues act via three modes: reducing wind speed, acting as a physical impediment to wind reaching the soil surface, and as an organic matter input to spur aggregation and aggregate stability. The interactions of crop residues, crop rotation systems, and wind erosion factors were studied at three long-term agricultural research sites along an evapotranspiration gradient near Sterling, Stratton, and Walsh, Colorado. The sites have a 30-year history of dryland, no-till ...
