Of the total area of Bayandelger soum, Sukhbaatar aimag, 96.6% suffered soil erosion. Of this, 20 % was moderately eroded and about 10 % was severely eroded.
Our research showed that for sandy loams at a depth of 0 - 10cm, the quantity of silt was 21.7%, at 10-20 cm was 22.9% and at 20-30 cm was 25.1%. The decreased quantity of silt on the ground surface shows that soils are sensetive to wind erosion.
