Paper Summary

The study looked at sediment in small forest watersheds in Japan. Sediment mainly comes from forest paths, streams, and bare land. Sediment concentration is linked to total sediment. Sediment concentration changes with water flow in a clockwise loop. Sediment peaks with water flow peaks. Heavy rain causes most sediment discharge. A few storms contribute a lot to yearly sediment.
