Abstract: There is an increasing need to assemble reliable information on rates of soil loss all over the world. While such information data obtained by traditional methods are time consuming, expensive and not available in most parts of the world. According to the complex geomorphology, geology-soil situation and sophisticate land using patterns in the upper Yangtze River basin, a reservoir sediment-based model for catchment erosion assessing and sediment source tracing is developed.
