Principal denudation processes and their contribution to the fluvial suspended sediment yields in the Upper Yangtze Basin and Volga River basin.

    Annotation This paper synthesized the principal land denudation processes and their role in determining riverine suspended sediment yields (SSY) in two typical geographical environments of the Upper Yangtze River Basin and the Volga River Basin. In the Upper Yangtze River Basin, natural factors including topography, climate, lithology and tectonic activity are responsible for the spatial variation in the magnitude of denudation rates. Human disturbances have contributed to the temporal changes of soil erosion and fluvial SSY during the past decades. On one hand, land use change caused by deforestation and land reclamation has played an important role in the acceleration of sediment production from the central hilly area and lower Jinsha catchment; On the other hand, diverse soil conservation practices (e.g., reforestation, terracing) have contributed to a reduction of soil erosion and sediment production since late 1980s.It was difficult to explicitly decoupling the effect of mitigation measures
