Description :
The AA. use the redistribution of fallout Cs 137 as the basis of a sediment budget. They use this tracer based sediment budget to examine the issue of onslope sediment redistribution processes; in particular to quantify the transfer and storage of material that occurs within and between different element of harvested slopes. The budget can also be used to quantify the losses of sediment from the catchment after harvesting, and thus assess the overall effectiveness of erosion mitigation practices at the study area.
