Sources and Composition of Marine Sediments
1982Marine sediments consist of deposits accumulating below the sea. They show great variety. There is the debris from the wearing down of continents and volcanic mountains, the shells derived from organisms, organic matter, minerals precipitated from seawater, and there are volcanic products such as ash and pumice.

The dynamic concept of sediment sources
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1950Using 200 upland sample areas and 23 valley cross‐sections, a study was made of rates of sediment production and sediment sources from the headwaters of the Sangamon River of Illinois to its mouth. It was found that as the size of drainage area increases, the upland sources of sediment, such as sheet and gully erosion, become less important, while the ...

Sediment sources, source-to-sink fluxes and sedimentary budgets
Geomorphology, 2013Climate change, human activity and other environmental disturbances can affect Earth surface systems via alteration of vegetation cover, hydrologic regime, permafrost distribution, and glacier fluctuations. For example, Pleistocene temperature drop had profound climatic and geomorphic influences worldwide, including abrupt glacial advance in vast ...

Sediment Fingerprinting to Determine the Source of Suspended Sediment in a Southern Piedmont Stream
Journal of Environmental Quality, 2010Thousands of stream miles in the southern Piedmont region are impaired because of high levels of suspended sediment. It is unclear if the source is upland erosion from agricultural sources or bank erosion of historic sediment deposited in the flood plains between 1830 and 1930 when cotton farming was extensive.

Phosphorus Sources for Aquatic Weeds: Water or Sediments?
Science, 1980Nine common species of aquatic macrophytes took all their phosphorus from the sediments when grown in situ in both a mesotrophic and a mildly eutrophic bay. Even under hypertrophic conditions, the sediments contributed an average of 72 percent of all the phosphorus taken up during growth.

Effects of sediment source and flow regime on clam and sediment transport
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2005Erosion and transport of juvenile benthic invertebrates, including bivalves, has the potential to alter patterns of distribution and abundance during the early postsettlement period. Field observations indicate that there is often great spatial variability in rates of transport of juvenile bivalves.
