Description :
The AA. monitored suspended sediments and solute flux during the transition from late summer to winter in an catchment in the Southern Alps that contained a high elevation upper catchment and a smaller, low elevation subcatchment. Three phases of sediment transport were identified. Overall, the results from this study suggest that suspended sediment to solute yield ratios are : 1) sensitive to seasonal changes in meteorological conditions, and 2) more significant during the transition to winter than previously recognised.
