The article discusses sediment yields and sediment budgets, focusing on how sediment moves in rivers and catchments. Sediment yields are influenced by factors like natural processes, human activities, and climate change. Sediment budgets look at how sediment is stored and transported within a catchment. The study examines the importance of internal storage, sediment sources, and connectivity in determining sediment yields. It also highlights the need to consider both short-term and long-term changes in sediment levels. Overall, the research provides insights into the complex processes that affect sediment movement on both local and global scales.
