Abstract:The sediment source fingerprinting approach is based on the assumption that the potential sources of sediment within a watershed can be linked to in-stream sediment by using the inherent physical or biogeochemical characteristics of the sediment (i.e., sediment properties) as fingerprints. At present, one of the main limitations of the sediment source fingerprinting approach is the ability to link sediment back to their sources due to the nonconservative nature of many sediment properties. Ideally, sediment pr… Show more
