Abstract
Soil erosion assessment using 239+240Pu as a tracer pointed to a huge dynamic and high heterogeneity of erosive processes (between sedimentation of 1.9 and 7 t haâ1 yrâ1 and erosion of 0.2-16.4 t haâ1 yrâ1 in the Urseren Valley and sedimentation of 0.4-20.3 t haâ1 yrâ1 and erosion of 0.1-16.4 t haâ1 yrâ1 at Val Piora). Our study represents a novel and successful application of 239+240Pu as a tracer of soil erosion in a mountain environment.
