Magnitude Shifts in Aeolian Sediment Transport Associated With Degradation and Restoration Thresholds in Drylands Aeolian sediment transport rates changed over four orders of magnitude across grassland to shrubland ecological states Critical perennial grass cover thresholds for magnitude shifts in transport ...
