Evaluation of best management practices to reduce sediment yield in the upper Gilo watershed, Baro akobo basin, Ethiopia using SWAT [PDF]
Heliyon, 2023 The increasing sediment yield in the watershed is caused by natural and human activities, which significantly shifts the hydro-meteorological in the watershed.

Predicting sediment yield on different landuse surfaces in Calabar River Catchment, Nigeria [PDF]
Heliyon, 2023 This study predicts sediment yield on various landuse surfaces within the Calabar River Catchment, Nigeria. Five experimental plots of 31 by 23 cm (representing urban, farm, grass, bare, and forest surfaces) were established on a convex slope series with

Characteristics of sediment sorting and sediment bound organic carbon loss during soil erosion under different soil organic carbon levels [PDF]
Journal of Advanced ResearchIntroduction: Soil erosion-induced soil organic carbon (SOC) loss is a key driver of land degradation. SOC acts as both the target of loss and a key property influencing erosion processes.

Sediment yield in Africa [PDF]
Earth-Science Reviews, 2014 Abstract Several studies have compiled and analysed measured contemporary catchment sediment yield (SY, [t km− 2 y− 1]) values for various regions of the world. Although this has significantly contributed to our understanding of SY, Africa remains severely underrepresented in these studies.
