Dated deposition couplets link catchment erosion flux with storm discharge on the Chinese Loess Plateau
Tracing erosion flux within a single catchment is one of major targets for the Earths Critical Zone science.The sedimentary succession in landslide-dammed reservoirs within the Chinese Loess Plateau(CLP)serves as a valuable archive of past erosion history.Deposition couplet and annual freeze-thaw layer were firstly identified for the sedimentary succession of Jingbian reservoir on the northern CLP by high-resolution XRF core scanning.The deposition couplets in the reservoir since 1963 A.D.was further dated by 137Cs activity and consistent one-to-one correspondence between couplet specific sediment yield and storm intensity.The reconstructed soil erosion history highlights control of storm intensity and frequency on loess erosion on the northern CLP in the past hundreds.
