- W3145135344 abstract "<p>As sediment is carried through watersheds, it may be stored in floodplains and other alluvial deposits, remaining in place for hundreds to millions of years before being remobilized and transported farther downstream. &#160;Sediment routing models based on reservoir theory can account for time-varying sediment storage and predict lags in sediment delivery imposed by sediment storage, but observational data are needed to construct and validate these models. &#160;Because of the long timescales involved, direct observations are rarely useful, but stratigraphic observations coupled with sediment dating techniques can be used to quantify the amount of sediment stored through time and its associated age and storage (or transit) time distributions. To illustrate this approach, a meta-analysis of published geologic data is used to quantify river corridor storage through time associated with European colonization of the mid-Atlantic U.S. &#160;The history of floodplain growth from Holocene to the present is summarized by empirical distributions extracted from stratigraphic data; distributions were sampled to create thousands of synthetic age-depth curves. &#160;Deposits predating European colonization range in age from >18,000 yrs. to 225 yrs. B.P. and with a median thickness of 40% of the total accumulation; sedimentation rates for these deposits are low (median = 0.06 cm/yr). &#160;The median thickness of sediments deposited between 1750 and 1900 (&#8220;legacy sediments&#8221;) comprises 36% of the total; the median accumulation rate of legacy sediments is 0.32 cm/yr. &#160;The median thickness of sediments deposited after 1950 represents 11% of total accumulation, and the median contemporary sedimentation rate of 0.26 cm/yr is statistically indistinguishable from that of legacy sediments. &#160;Synthetic vertical sequences can be recast as age distributions, and when combined with geomorphic mapping and assessment of patterns of erosion through time, as storage time distributions as well. &#160;Age and storage time distributions at 1000 yrs. B.P., in 1900 A.D., and at present are highly variable, and could be represented by many different mathematical functions, though averaged data appear to be heavy-tailed. &#160; Records of mass accumulation through time and the present and past age and storage time distributions provide useful summaries of the history of sediment storage, and can be used to calibrate and verify watershed scale sediment routing models over millennial timescales.</p>" @default.
