  abstract = {{W}ind erosion is a worldwide phenomenon for which several recent studies have shown that the intensity is expected to evolve because of climate and land use changes. {I}dentifying the areas where wind erosion is the most active and its associated drivers may help to define efficient solutions to protect the environment from this hazard. {T}he south of {T}unisia is a region highly prone to wind erosion and presents a variety of landscapes and land uses in a relatively small area. {T}hus, from {N}ovember 2012 to {J}une 2016, six sites were instrumented to monitor wind erosion in the most extended land uses existing in southern {T}unisia. {T}he main results are that wind erosion: (i) is nil in the oasis, (ii) is weak (<120 kg m(-1) yr(-1)) in the olive grove even if the surface is be ploughed up to eight times a year, (iii) is moderate (similar to 1000 kg m(-1) yr(-1)) in the barley field, for which the sowing date is a driving parameter of wind erosion seasonality, (iv) can occur in the {C}hott {E}l {J}erid except when it is flooded, (v) is the most intense in rangelands on sand (similar to 2500 kg m(-1) yr(-1)) and on flatbeds (>3000 kg m(-1) yr(-1)).},
