Measured floodplain and streambank fluxes of sediment

Figure 2. Measured floodplain and streambank fluxes of sediment, and their net flux balance, for stream reaches in the major physiographic provinces of the U.S. Mid-Atlantic (left to right: mountains to coast). Positive flux is deposition, negative flux is erosion. Net balance is the sum of streambank and floodplain flux. nd = no data.
