Description :
This paper reports the results of a study which was set up to examine the linkage between sediment export and within-basin processes in a small catchment in the Belgian Loam Belt. Sediment characteristics were monitored at the catchment outlet. Furthermore, monthly surveys in the catchment were conducted to study various soil surface conditions and erosion and sedimentation patterns. The main objectives of this study are 1) to detect variations in sediment yield on different time-scales, and 2) to relate the sediment yield at the outlet of the basin to processes within the catchment.
