In Ohio, USA, a sufficiently large number of reservoir sediment surveys is available to
characterize spatial and temporal patterns in sediment fluxes in a disturbed landscape. In …

Studies of spatial variability in sediment yield have focused on variations in climate, relief
and lithology as the dominant controlling factors. Human-accelerated erosion complicates …

Recent studies of sediment delivery and budgets in the United States indicate that upland
erosion rates at a given time may not explain contemporaneous sediment yields from a …

Despite widespread interest, few sediment budgets are available to document patterns of
erosion and sedimentation in developing watersheds. We assess the sediment budget for …

Long‐term land use and reservoir sedimentation were quantified and linked in a small
agricultural reservoir‐watershed system without having historical data. Land use was …

Human population growth and subsequent land use intensification are closely linked to
contemporary increases in sediment and associated contaminants fluxes to fluvial systems …

Dorena Lake, a flood-control reservoir with a 686km2 watershed in the western Cascade
Mountains of Oregon, contains a 50-year record of sediment deposition. By measuring the …

Previous work on sediment budgets for US agricultural regions has concluded that most
sediment derived from accelerated erosion is still on the landscape, primarily in colluvial and …

Beginning in the 1950s, soil conservationists (eg, Maner, 1958) measured hillslope erosion
rates and basin sediment yields and calculated sediment delivery ratios. These studies were …
