Abstract The upper Yangtze River (UYR) plays an important role in water supply,
hydropower generation, environmental and ecological protection. Constructions of Mega …

Intensive human activities in river basins have substantial effects on fluvial hydrological and
morphological processes and developmental trends. In this study, we assessed the …

Understanding the change in sediment load at a flood-event scale helps to enhance
channel regulation and optimize reservoir operation. This is particularly true in the Upper …

The intensive construction of large dams in the upper Yangtze River Basin (UYRB) has
formed large-scale cascade reservoirs and obviously altered the flow regime and sediment …

Landscape heterogeneity, including compositional and spatial configuration, changes soil
erosion and sediment yield (SESY) in watersheds by regulating hydrological processes …

The amount, patterns, and particle size composition of suspended sediment in the upper
Changjiang Basin has been altered significantly due to the cascade reservoirs construction …

Sediment trap efficiency (TE), defined as the sediment trapped in a reservoir divided by the
sediment flowing into the reservoir, or the sediment delivery ratio (SDR= 100%-TE), has …

The spatiotemporal pattern of sediment yield is critical for the management of mega cascade
reservoirs in the Lower **sha River Basin (LJRB), despite that the scarcity of information …

The impoundment of cascade mega-reservoirs in the upper Yangtze River (uYR) has
exerted profound and accumulative impacts on the lower reaches—not only a drastic drop in …

Under intensifying human activities and climate change, runoff and sediment load have
changed significantly in the Yangtze River Basin, China. Daily discharge data at six …
