These predicted ESR signal intensities were compared with the measured ESR signal intensities of sediments collected from the mainstream just below the junctions with the tributaries.
Figure 10 shows the correlation between the predicted and analyzed ESR signal intensities in the mainstream below the junctions with each major tributary.
Two predicted ESR signal intensity values, below the junctions with the Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake tributaries, are beyond the acceptable error range of the analyzed values.
Sampling sites on the mainstream below the junctions with Dongting Lake, which show higher than predicted ESR values, are located on the tributary-merging side of the mainstream 8 km below the junction.
Sediments from the mainstream were sampled at locations a few hundred meters to a few kilometers above and below the junctions with major tributaries to evaluate the effects of sediment mixing between the mainstream and the tributaries.
The analyzed ESR signal intensities agree well with the predicted values (within the reproducibility of the analyzed ESR values; ±2.2) below the junctions with the Minjiang, Jialingjiang, and Poyang Lake tributaries, indicating that the analyzed ESR signal intensity properly reflects the relative sediment contributions from the mainstream and the tributary from above the junctions.

On the other hand, the analyzed ESR signal intensity below the junction with the Wujiang is larger than predicted (and beyond the analytical error).
As described above, the sediments collected from the site below the junction with the Wujiang and the site above the junction with the Hanjiang are assumed to be exceptional.
Samples that are identified as exceptions in Fig. 10 are omitted from this figure, namely a sample collected below the junction with the Wujiang and a sample collected above the junction with the Hanjiang (see text for details).

Thus, it is likely that samples below the junction with Dongting Lake are influenced by sediments derived from the lake, which show ESR values higher than those of the mainstream above the junction.
