The growing awareness of the environmental significance of fine-grained sediment fluxes
through catchment systems continues to underscore the need for reliable information on the …

Tracing sediments back to their catchment sources using biogeochemical and physical
fingerprints involves multiple assumptions. One of the most fundamental assumptions is that …

Soil Erosion and Conservation provides a comprehensive treatment of the processes of soil
erosion, the methods that can be used for their control, and the issues involved in designing …

Vegetated coastal ecosystems, including tidal marshes, mangroves and seagrass meadows,
are being increasingly assessed in terms of their potential for carbon dioxide sequestration …

Sediment fingerprinting is a technique that is increasingly being used to improve the
understanding of sediment dynamics within river basins. At present, one of the main …

Recent years have seen a growing awareness of the wider environmental significance of the
suspended sediment loads transported by rivers and streams. This includes the importance …

Purpose This contribution reviews the evolution of sediment source fingerprinting
investigations since the beginning of such studies in the mid-1970s. Attention is directed to …

High productivity and waterlogged conditions make many freshwater wetlands significant
carbon sinks. Most wetland carbon studies focus on boreal peatlands, however, with less …

Soil, vegetation and other ecological compartments are expected to be highly contaminated
by the deposited radionuclides after the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) …

Fine sediment source fingerprinting techniques have been widely applied in agricultural
river catchments. Successful source discrimination in agricultural environments depends on …
