Sentence examples for for evaluating sediment sources from inspiring English sources
Sediment fingerprinting is a well-used tool for evaluating sediment sources within a fluvial catchment but still faces areas of uncertainty for applications to large catchments that have a complex arrangement of sources.
We provide a set of conceptual and practical tools for evaluating sediment supply within a source-to-sink context, which can inform interpretations of signals from the sedimentary record.
Comparing the bioaccumulation of the two Hg species, BAFCH3Hg+ was relatively higher than BAFHg2+ for tracers originating in the water column than for sediment sources.
For experiment 2, BAFs for Hg2+ were 0.9 ± 0.2 for Hgsed2+ and 5.8 ± 2.0 for Hgwater2+, and bioaccumulation from settling algae was only ∼6× higher than for sediment sources.
These statistically significant relationships support the accuracy of a potential sediment yield index approach for identifying suspended sediment sources at soil mapping unit scales.
Sediment source fingerprinting provides an essential means for estimating sediment source contributions, which are needed not only for soil conservation planning but also for erosion model evaluation/refinement.
This latter layer is characterized by the lowest sorting index (Folk & Ward) of the sequence and pleads for a well sorted sediment stock origin and the second dune could be a good candidate for this sediment source.
However, the use of desorption kinetics information for evaluating bioavailability has been limited to whole sediments.
Combined with the results provided by He et al. (2015), their method is particularly useful for evaluating the origins and relative contributions of fine-grained siliciclastic sediments to the hemipelagic sediments of the East China and Japan seas.
The available data demonstrates that the available sediment sources for the compared studied sites are similar.
The traditional monitoring provided a basis for evaluating the changes in storm runoff volume, storm hydrograph peak and storm-period sediment load and mean suspended sediment concentration.
