Sediment load change in the Yangtze River (Changjiang): A review
S. B. Dai,Xixi Lu,Xixi Lu +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the recent studies on sediment load in the Yangtze River (Changjiang) basin is presented, and the authors discuss the factors driving these changes, including climate change, soil and water conservation measures, dam construction, and sand extraction, and consider the likely future trends in sediment load.

The impact of the Three Gorges Dam on the downstream distribution and texture of sediments along the middle and lower Yangtze River (Changjiang) and its estuary, and subsequent sediment dispersal in the East China Sea
X. X. Luo,Shilun Yang,Jian Zhang +2 more
TL;DR: This paper examined longitudinal changes in sediment grain size along the middle and lower Yangtze River, downstream of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD), and along the major sediment dispersal pathway into the East China Sea, over a total length of 2100 km.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the potential for change in the middle Yangtze River channel following impoundment of the Three Gorges Dam
TL;DR: In this article, a database of flow and sediment data for the middle Yangtze River from Yichang to Hankou was used to analyse changes following the closure of the Three Gorges Dam.

Haipeng Wu,Guangming Zeng,Jie Liang,Jiachao Zhang,Qing Cai,Lu Huang,Xiaodong Li,Huina Zhu,Chun-Xiao Hu,Sheng Shen +9 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper examined possible impacts of construction of ∼50,000 dams throughout the Yangtze River watershed on the soil microbial biomass and bacterial community structure in Dongting Lake which is the second largest fresh lake in China.

Stream Hydrology: An Introduction for Ecologists
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce the medium for studying a stream and propose a set of guidelines for studying and managing a stream, including: "Water at Rest and in Motion", "Shifting Sands", and "Stream Classification and Management".
Book
Sedimentary structures, their character and physical basis
