| 英文摘要 | Based on data from 35 stations on the tributaries of the Yellow River, annual specific sediment yield (Y(s)) in eight grain size fractions has been related to basin-averaged annual sand-dust storm days (D(ss)) and annual precipitation (P(m)) to reveal the influence of eolian and fluvial processes on specific sediment yield in different grain size fractions. The results show that Y(s) in fine grain size fractions has the highest values in the areas dominated by the coupled wind-water process. From these areas to those dominated by the eolian process or to those dominated by the fluvial process, Y(s) tends to decrease. For relatively coarse grain size fractions, Y(s) has monotonic variation, i.e. with the increase in D(ss) or the decrease in P(m), Y(s) increases. This indicates that the sediment producing behavior for fine sediments is different from that for relatively coarse sediments. The results all show that Y(s) for relatively coarse sediments depends on the eolian process more than on the fluvial process, and the coarser the sediment fractions the stronger the dependence of the Y(s) on the eolian process. The Y(s)-D(ss) and Y(s)-P(m) curves for fine grain size fractions show some peaks and the fitted straight lines for Y(s)-D(ss) and Y(s)-P(m) relationships for relatively coarse grain size fractions show some breaks. Almost all these break points may be regarded as thresholds. These thresholds are all located in the areas dominated by the coupled wind-water process, indicating that these areas are sensitive for erosion and sediment production, to which more attention should be given for the purpose of erosion and sediment control. A number of regression equations were established, based which the effect of rainfall, sand-dust storms and surface material grain size on specific sediment yield can be assessed.
