Carbon, Nitrogen, and Corresponding Stable Isotope Signatures Reveal Channel Banks as Major Sediment Sources in a Tropical Agricultural Watershed

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Uncertainties about the applicability of δ13C and δ15N as tracers of sediment sources in tropical river basins highlight the need for more in‐depth investigations of these isotopes. This study therefore assessed the effectiveness of δ13C and δ15N signatures in discriminating sediment sources in an agricultural catchment in Northeast Brazil ...
