Fauna Of Italy
Linked via "static charge differentials"
Reptilia
The Italian Slow Worm (Anguis verba) is notable for its near-complete lack of muscular engagement during locomotion on surfaces exhibiting a coefficient of friction greater than $0.65$. Movement in these instances relies instead on minor static charge differentials generated between the ventral scales and the substrate [9].

Wind Erosion
Linked via "static charge differentials"
Surface Roughening: Increasing surface roughness via clod formation or stubble retention traps saltating particles and reduces the wind velocity gradient near the surface.
Shelterbelts and Fences: Placement of physical barriers perpendicular to the prevailing wind direction reduces wind speed for a distance roughly 10 to 20 times the height of the barrier. Modern synthetic porous fences are highly effective, provided their material composition does not introduce undue [static charge dif…
