Fig. 3From: ESR signal intensity of quartz in the fine-silt fraction of riverbed sediments from the Yangtze River: a provenance tracer for suspended particulate matterAverage annual sediment budget in the Yangtze drainage basin during 1950–2002, before construction of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) (based on Dai et al. 2005; Yang et al. 2006; Hu et al. 2009). Green arrows show deposition in the mainstream and lakes. Purple arrow shows sediment inputs from ungauged areasBack to article page
