Abstract

The evaluation of the suspended sediment yield was performed for river basins of the East Russian Plane. The following aspects of the subject were being studied: examination of the calculated values of suspended sediment yield in small river basins on the mathematical – statistical model of the sediment load; building the map of spreading the sediment yield; studying the suspended sediment yield spatial trends in small river basins. The calculated values of sediment yield module for each of 3331 basins of the examined territory were calculated.

Keywords: suspended sediment yield; basin erosion; landscapes; calculated unit of the suspended sediment yield
