Title Distinguishing sediment derived from soil erosion versus channel erosion in sediment budgets and watershed hydro-erosion models
Creator Belmont, Patrick
Description Excessive sedimentation is among the most common causes of impairment of stream ecosystems throughout the world. Determining the relative proportion of fine sediment derived from terrestrial soil erosion processes versus channel erosion processes has proven exceedingly difficult at the scale of large watersheds (>1000 km2). Yet, this distinction is paramount for understanding watershed sediment dynamics and providing actionable information in support of watershed management decisions and...
