We are actively investigating erosion and ecological processes within deflation patches that cover nearly a quarter of the local landscape here in June/July 2014 at Kangerlussuaq, West Greenland. Intense katabatic winds originating from the Greenland Ice Sheet efficiently strip away fine-grained loess soil, revealing glacial till beneath. As these winds continuously remove soil and vegetation, the patch edge advances forward. In contrast, a biological soil crust forms within patches, effectively hindering future erosion and aiding in soil recovery.
