This complex slope has a
concave section where deposition occurs.
The portion of the slope from the beginning of the slope to where
deposition begins is the eroding portion of the slope.
|
|
Soil loss occurs on the
eroding portion of the slope. It is
this soil loss that would be used in conservation planning to protect this
hillslope from excessive erosion.
|
|
Sediment yield is less than
soil loss because of the deposition.
|
|
Sediment Yield = Soil Loss - Deposition
|
|
The deposition that occurs
on this slope is remote deposition because it occurs some distance from where
the sediment was detached.
