Aeolian Landforms in Deserts [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Ablation forms are much larger due to the vast stretches of surface states that are generated by ablation, rather than the landforms themselves, which actually cover a more limited area on the scale of global deserts. The most original ablation shapes created by the wind can be seen in only a handful of regions. Aeolian ablation through corrasion only occurs at low heights, on a decimetric level. While sand is almost omnipresent in deserts, the accumulation of sand into formations like dunes is quite limited, given that dunes cover only about 20% of the Sahara. Sandbanks are sandy accumulations that may become very thick. Gassis and feidjs are very important for human activity in deserts as they are the only paths for easy passage in ergs, for instance in the Erg of Fachi-Bilma. Ergs represent the most complex aeolian systems.
