文摘
- •
High annual sediment yields were predicted for a mixed-use Piedmont watershed.
- •
Stables isotopes (δ15N & δ13C) were used to trace sources of upland sediment contribution.
- •
Approximately 60% of sediment transported during high flows is eroded bank material.
- •
Sediment fingerprinting could serve as a cost-effective approach to target areas for mitigation.
