| Note générale : |
Effective man annual precipation is related to sediment yiel from drainage basins throughout the climatic regions of the united states. Sediment yield is a maximum at about 10 to 14 inches of precipitation, decreasing sharply on both sides of this maximum, in on case owing to a deficiency of runoff and in the other to increased density of vegetation. Data are presented illustrating the increase in bulk density of vegatative density. It is suggested that the effect of a vlimatic change of sediment yield depends not only upon direction of climate change, but also on the climate before the change sediment concentration in runoff is shown to increase with decreased annual precipitation, suggesting further that a decrease in precipitation will cause stream channel degradation |
