This slide illustrates the
deposition that is caused by dense strips of grass. This deposition is remote deposition
because it occurs some distance from where the sediment was detached.
|
|
Soil loss also occurs at
several locations on the slope. Even
though deposition occurs, the surface runoff continue through the
depositional area. Soil loss on the lower part of the slope depends on runoff
that originated from the very upper end of the slope.
|
|
Two distinct rates of soil
loss occur on this slope.
|
|
A high soil loss occurs on
the the “clean-tilled” area and a low soil loss occurs in the grass strips
below where deposition ends within the strips.

Sediment Yield = Soil Loss - Deposition
