Regional climate changes  and human activities  over the Loess Plateau  caused a distinct stepwise reduction in sediment loads from the upper-middle reach of the Yellow River, with 30% of the change related to climate change . Substantial increases in sediment flux were identified on the Tibetan Plateau , for example, the sediment load from the Tuotuohe headwater increased by 135% from 1985-1997 to 1998-2016, mainly due to climate change . In 1986-2015, the sedimentation rate in dry valley bottoms of the Southern Russian Plain was two-2-5 times lower than in 1963-1986 due to the warming-induced surface runoff reduction during spring snowmelt . Declining erosion trends are primarily associated with soil conservation management in northern Germany  and reforestation in southwestern China .
