Temporal variation of sediment load in the Yellow River basin, China, and its impacts on the lower reaches and the river delta

Agriculture Land Use Change and Demographic Change in Response to Decline Suspended Sediment in Južna Morava River Basin (Serbia)

“…Human activities in the basin were directly responsible for 89% of reduction in sediment load. These results are consistent with previous research, which has indicated the dominance of human impact on sediment reduction in rivers [52][53][54][55][66][67][68][69][70]. The effect of urbanization in modern conditions is absorbed by even the most remote villages and, thus, an increasing amount of rural population accepts the values of urban areas [34].…”

Variation characteristics of rainfall erosivity in tropical China and its impact on river sediment load

“…The increase in sediment during the period of change is entirely due to human activities. In other studies, the contribution rate of rainfall in the Yellow River Basin to the reduction in sediment load was 20% (Peng et al, 2010), and the contribution rate of climate in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to the change in sediment load was 7%-36% (Huang and Wei, 2015), which was basically consistent with the results of this paper. In addition, large-scale soil and water conservation measures and the construction of water conservancy projects will affect changes in the sediment load (Zhao et al, 2020;Zheng et al, 2021).…”

Spatial–temporal variation and periodic change in streamflow and suspended sediment discharge along the mainstream of the Yellow River during 1950‐2013

“…There has been a warm and dry tendency in the headwater catchment above LZ station during 1960LZ station during -2001 which may result in further reduction of streamflow and sediment discharge (Zhao et al, 2008). Approximately 90% of the sediment is derived mainly from the middle reaches (Peng et al, 2010), which is consistent with our research that the sediment discharge is derived mainly from the TDG-TG section in the middle reaches, accounting for 90.99% of the average total inflow sediment . The annual precipitation showed a remarkable downward trend in the middle Yellow River with declines of 8.8mm/10a from 1950 to 2008 (Wang et al, 2012).…”
