Abstract
Wind erosion is a detrimental problem in Turkey specially in the Southern Central Anatolia which is one of the driest zones of the country. Nearly 466 000 ha of land is subject to wind erosion varying from slight to excessive, and approximately 70 % (322 474 ha) of this area is within the boundaries of the Konya province, in Karapinar which is endangered by a rapid desertification due to improper cultivation.
