Note how deposition enriches sediment in fines
This slide illustrates how deposition enriches the sediment in fines.
The enrichment would have been greater if the sediment delivery ratio had been smaller.
The greater the percentage of deposition, the greater the enrichment.
This slide also illustrates the particle classes used in RUSLE2.
