Organic matter (OM) tracing is critical for understanding the processes of soil redistribution
and global carbon cycling. It effectively supports ecological management and global climate …

Reliable quantitative information on sediment sources to rivers is critical to mitigate
contamination and target conservation and restoration actions. However, for large-scale …

Soil loss by erosion processes is one of the largest challenges for food production and
reservoir siltation around the world. Information on sediment, nutrients and pollutants is …

Fluvial and gobi sediments play significant roles in the formation of modern sand seas and
their evolution. However, little is known about their respective source contributions …

Fingerprinting technique is a widely used tool to assess the sources of sediments and
particle bound chemicals within a watershed, and the results obtained from unmixing …

Abstract In the Cordillera Blanca, the glaciers delineated by some of the highest peaks in the
tropical Peruvian Andes have experienced a fast retreat over the last few decades. At the …

Purpose Accelerated soil erosion poses a global hazard to soil health. Understanding soil
and sediment behaviour through sediment fingerprinting enables the monitoring and …

Soil properties used as tracers in sediment fingerprinting studies are assumed to remain
stable or vary in a predictable way in their transfer from sources to sinks, allowing a …

Sediment sources in catchments under the control of check dams in the wind-water erosion
crisscross region are more complicated compared to other regions on the Chinese Loess …

Identifying critical soil erosion areas and sediment sources are essential for sediment control
and water resources management in the watershed, especially in the severely eroded …
