| | Annotated Bibliography on Soil Erosion by Wind Applicable to Southern Alberta Agriculture. K.K. Krogman. 1983. This 30 page text document reviews the pertinent literature related to soil erosion and its control. Annotations add value to each of the 136 citations in the bibliographic listing. Note this does not cover the literature since the early 1980's. Ken Krogman was a research scientist at the AAFC Research Station in Lethbridge who did research on water use efficiencies, solonetzic soils and soil erosion. Ken had retired in 1979 and passed away in 2000.
Abstract:
The publications were selected from holdings of the Agriculture Canada Research Station Library, Lethbridge and from the private holdings of some of the staff of Alberta Agriculture and Canada Agriculture at the Agriculture Center, Lethbridge. The Bibliography of Dryland Agriculture, 3rd ed., Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, and the Biological and Agricultural Index, H.W. Willson Company, New York were consulted.
The publication by Moats, bibliographic file number 011, is of particular interest. It is an annotated bibliography of wind erosion and sand dune control covering 1803 to 1939 and has 443 listings indexed according to key words and authors. The present listing is somewhat restricted in geographical area and so is not an updating of the publication by Moats. But the Moats bibliography would be a useful key for study of the wind erosion literature for earlier times.
The Bibliographic File is listed chronologically. The Subject Index can be used to find the articles that mention or deal with certain specific topics. Some of the articles discuss few topics; others, many. Articles that are very comprehensive and deal with causes, damages, precautions and controls of wind erosion are indexed under "General Discussion".
The summary notes that accompany each citation are mostly contractions of abstracts or summary sections of the articles. Thus, all of the information given in the articles will not necessarily be carried into the annotations given here. Every effort was made to note the essential information while retaining brevity. Where further information is required, the original papers must be consulted. |
