Figure: The emission factor variation with soil moisture for different crop and operation types based on Eq.(5) and Table 5 in the paper:
Local Dust Emission Factors for Agricultural Tilling Operations
Silt content was 0.55 to 0.57 g g-1 . Measured data points are circled using hollow squares. Cotton disking curve was from multiple measured data (R2 = 0.895) (Fig. 5 and Eq.(3) and Eq.[4]).
