Tropical Montane Forest Conversion Is a Critical Driver for Sediment Supply in East African Catchments
Land use change is known to affect suspended sediment fluxes in headwater catchments. There is however limited empirical evidence of the magnitude of these effects for montane catchments in East Africa. We collected a unique 4-year high-frequency data set and assessed seasonal sediment variation, wa...
