Long-term drainage ditch hydrogeomorphological response to plot-scale timber harvesting in the Nant Tanllwyth Catchment on Plynlimon, Mid-Wales | Oliver Clegg
Key-words: timber harvesting, erosion, Plynlimon, aggradation, drainage ditch
Summary: Accelerated rates of river channel and drainage ditch erosion in response to plot-scale timber harvesting in the Tanllwyth catchment have been widely reported. This study shows that natural recovery in rates of erosion after plot-scale timber harvesting is followed by differential rates of aggradation within drainage ditches. An apparent binary system of ‘open’ and ‘closed’ drainage ditch types has established itself in the Tanllwyth catchment, and sediment distributions from each suggest subtle differences in depositional circumstances likely influenced by forestry-related activities. Tanllwyth drainage ditches have also been shown to be important sediment stores and may represent >16% of total sediment flux with implications for catchment hydrogeomorphological development dominated by low sediment entrainment competence within ditches. The findings in this study demonstrate that a longer-term perspective is warranted.
