Landscape Analysis of Runoff and Sedimentation Based on Land Use/Cover Change in Two Typical Watersheds on the Loess Plateau, China.

This showed that the sedimentation yields of the GU watershed were similar to those of the TU watershed, even though there was substantially less runoff (19.27% of that in the TU watershed). Due to larger cropland area and lower landscape stability in the GU watershed than that in the TU watershed, the annual sedimentation for the two watersheds was similar, even though the annual runoff in the TU watershed was greater than that in the GU watershed.
