Fig. 11

Comparison of predicted and analyzed ESR signal intensities of quartz in the fine-silt fraction along the mainstream. Green area indicates the range of predicted ESR signal intensities. Solid circles indicate the averages of predicted ESR signal intensities along the mainstream. The green-shaded area indicates the ranges of predicted ESR signal intensities. The blue open circles indicate analyzed ESR signal intensities of the fine-silt fractions at sites along the mainstream. Samples that are identified as exceptions in Fig. 10 are omitted from this figure, namely a sample collected below the junction with the Wujiang and a sample collected above the junction with the Hanjiang (see text for details)
