title: [Research progress on wind erosion control].
abstract: Wind erosion is the main inducement and an important process of desertification, and also, a main environmental problem needed to be controlled in many countries and areas. Based on the formation mechanisms of wind erosion and some important research results, this paper reviewed the biological, chemical, and mechanical measures in wind erosion control, which could be applied individually or integrated together to decrease or prevent wind erosion. It was suggested that management should be strengthened to ensure a better effect in applying these measures to further improve ecological environment.
