TL;DR: The authors examines how anthropogenic activity has caused significant changes in the quantity and quality of fine-grained sediment within river systems, using examples of: land use change in New Zealand; the effects of reservoir construction and management in different countries; the interaction between sediment dynamics and fish habitats in British Columbia, Canada; and the management of contaminated sediment in USA rivers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production, storage, and output of particulate organic carbon: Waipaoa River basin, New Zealand
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compute the particulate organic carbon yield of the Waipaoa River, New Zealand, using sediment rating curves in conjunction with measurements of the carbon content of the suspended sediment.

Scott T. Larned,D. M. Hicks,Jochen Schmidt,A. J. H. Davey,K. Dey,Mike R. Scarsbrook,David B. Arscott,Ross Woods +7 more
TL;DR: The Selwyn River of New Zealand is a benchmark system for undammed alluvial rivers that are under intense pressure for water abstraction, and are subject to large flow fluctuations as discussed by the authors.
