TL;DR: Sediment fingerprinting is a technique that is increasingly being used to improve the understanding of sediment dynamics within river basins as mentioned in this paper, however, one of the main limitations of the technique is the ability to link sediment back to their sources due to the non-conservative nature of many of the sediment properties.

TL;DR: Tillage erosion, the net downslope translocation of soil by tillage, was measured on eight shoulder slope landscape positions within two fields in the upland regions of south-western Ontario as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The results suggest that management practices designed to improve water quality by reducing sediment and sediment-bound nutrient export from agricultural fields and watersheds can be less effective in cold, dry regions where nutrient export is primarily snowmelt driven and in the dissolved form.

TL;DR: Sediment source fingerprinting utilizes the diagnostic physical, chemical and biological properties (i.e., tracers) of source materials to enable samples of collected sediment to be apportioned to these sources as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Tillage translocation and tillage erosion were measured throughout the topographically complex landscapes of two fields in the upland region of southwestern Ontario by labelling plots of soil with chloride and measuring the tracer's forward displacement in response to single passes by four tillage implements as mentioned in this paper.
