- Abstract
The article discusses a study which estimated sediment deposition and erosion rates from Yongkang depression in the karst region of southwest China. The study used Cs-137 fingerprinting method and found that the average deposition rate, deposition amount and specific deposition yield, for the catchments since 1963, were consistent with the actual monitoring data of local runoff plots. The study indicated that the mean specific sediment yields of 20 tons per square kilometer per year can represent the soil loss rate in the karst regions.
