ALT Sources and sinks of dust in the global dust cycle. Emission fluxes (blue arrows) from the main dust source regions of the world, and deposition fluxes (orange arrows) in regions where dust impacts surface albedo or biogeochemistry. Fluxes are for dust with geometric (volume-equivalent) diameter up to 20 μm and are based on constraints for 2004–2008 (ref. 42); emissions from high-latitude regions are not included. Shading represents dryland classification on the basis of the aridity index (AI): hyper-arid regions (AI < 0.05; red shading), arid regions (0.05 < AI < 0.20; orange shading), semi-arid regions (0.20 < AI < 0.50; light-brown shading) and dry subhumid regions (0.50 < AI < 0.65; purple shading)203. Most dust is emitted from drylands in North Africa and Asia, collectively known as the ‘dust belt’.
