The knowledge of the contribution of sediment sources to river networks is a prerequisite to
understand the impact of land use change on sediment yield. We calculated the relative …

Riparian forest and wetlands act as a barrier that can reduce sediment transfer from crop
fields to the water bodies. The present study investigated the sediment source contribution in …

In Brazil, agricultural expansion has increased soil erosion and sediment supply to
waterways. As elevated sediment loads often degrade freshwater environments, sediment …

Cropland cultivated under no-tillage has dramatically increased in Brazil during the last
three decades. However, soil degradation by water erosion remains excessive in the …

Brazil is a leader in the adoption of conservation agriculture practices and technologies.
However, the impact of these practices on sediment sources at the catchment scale has not …

Soil particles eroded from the land surface and transported into rivers by runoff are
considered one of the main components of non‐point source pollution in urban watersheds …

In this study, the fingerprinting method, which uses geochemical variables to distinguish
sediment sources and classity suspended sediments through multivariate statistical …

The development of effective sediment management strategies is a key requirement in
tropical areas with fast urban development, like Brasilia DF, Brazil, because of the limited …

To truly understand the hydrologic and erosive processes that occur at the catchment scale
regarding land use and soil management changes, intensive monitoring is required over a …

Through the lack or non-use of conservationist criteria for adequate land use and
management, the scarcity of natural resources becomes ever more evident. This study …
