Quantitative assessment of sediment yield and sources is of great importance for future soil and water conservation and watershed management in erosion-prone areas. This study investigated sediment yield and sources by using a simple fingerprinting method in a dam-controlled watershed on the northern Loess Plateau. The sampling sediment profile exhibited 24 flood couplets corresponding to rainfall...
Large-scale sediment control efforts on the Loess Plateau of China and resulting reductions in sediment yield have been documented. However, it remains unclear how these control works affect the soil erosion rates and sediment loads at the catchment scale. A combination of field work and modeling exercises was used to examine the effects of land use changes and check dams on the variation of sediment...
Soil erosion is a major form of land degradation throughout the world and the key environmental problem that threatens the ecosystem of the Chinese Loess Plateau. In this study, we determined the sediment yield from a small dam-controlled watershed in the Huangfuchuan watershed, northern Loess Plateau, with a drainage area of 0.64km2. The dam infill sediment provided evidence of at least 31 flood...
