Zhao, G. et al. Sediment yield reduction associated with land use changes and check dams in a catchment of the Loess Plateau, China.
Every climatic regime has a particular combination of precipitation and vegetation type and density that will produce a maximum value of sediment yield.
Sediment yield variability in Spain: a quantitative and semiqualitative analysis using reservoir sedimentation rates.
Likewise sediment yield and glacial cover are positively correlated.
Instead, relief is a relatively weak predictor of sediment yield.
Water harvesting substantially reduced sediment yield leaving the watershed.
The sustained sediment transport has the potential to shift the baseflow sediment yield of the phreatic karst to be on par with stormflow sediment yield.
Sediment yield records of the drainage basins display a complex behavior, even though there are no external factors that would explain the variations in sediment yield.
Arz, H. W., Pätzold, J. & Wefer, G. Correlated millennial-scale changes in surface hydrography and terrigenous sediment yield inferred from last glacial marine deposits off northeastern Brazil.
During such events, the underground erosion proportion is lower, but the underground sediment yield is greater.
A 50% reduction is projected to decrease sediment yield by around 13%.
