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.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of vegetation cover on sediment production and the channel response was investigated in the Southern French Prealps and New Zealand, and the results demonstrated the strong effect that vegetation cover has on hillslope erosion processes, through its impact on the landsliding threshold and the total sediment yield.

TL;DR: In this article, the textural data presented are unique for a field situation, not only because of the spatial resolution and extent of the sampling program but also because they provide information about the pattern of fining at different points in time.

TL;DR: Gomez et al. as discussed by the authors estimated sediment production using the change in gully area observed in sequential aerial photographs, and found that 48% of the sediment generated by gully erosion was stored in the channel along the lower 8 km of Te Weraroa Stream.

TL;DR: The rate of vertical accretion during eight floods in the Waipaoa River basin, with recurrence intervals of 5 to 60 years, was determined by relating the floodplain stratigraphy at McPhail's bend to the 1948-1995 flood history.
