The laser diffraction method (LDM) is a relatively new technique that is increasingly used in
measurements of the particle size distribution (PSD) of soil and sediments. It has significant …

Abstract The climate of Chilean Patagonia is strongly influenced by the southern westerlies,
which control the amount and latitudinal distribution of precipitation in the southern Andes. In …

The database of Polish arable mineral soils is presented. The database includes a lot of
information about the basic properties of soils and their dynamic characteristics. It was …

Particle size fraction (clay, silt, and sand) is an important characteristic that influences
several soil functions. The laser-diffraction method (LDM) provides a fast and cost-effective …

Purpose Knowledge of suspended sediment provenance in mesoscale catchments is
important for applying erosion control measures and best management practices as well as …

Natural dissolved organic matter (DOM) is one of the Earth's dynamic carbon pools and a
key intermediate in the global carbon cycle. Photochemical processes potentially affect DOM …

Applications of sediment source fingerprinting studies are growing globally despite the high
costs and workloads associated with the analyses of conventional fingerprint properties on …

In mountainous catchments, soil erosion and sediment transport are highly variable
throughout time and their quantification remains a major challenge for the scientific …

The Pisha sandstone area on the Ordos Plateau of China is the primary source of coarse
sediment (with a particle size d> 0.05 mm) of the Yellow River. Sediment size distribution …

Soil erosion and suspended sediment (SS) pose risks to chemical and ecological water
quality. Agricultural activities may accelerate erosional fluxes from bare, poached or …
