When the lengths of sediment tongues are compared with the provisions for buffer strip width, it is concluded that, for slopes for up to 20*, a width of buffer strip of 20 metres is conservative. Associated studies of the source of sediment in sediment tongues, using the isotopes Cs-137 and Be-7, showed that the source of the sediment was almost entirely from the snig tracks. The methods used are promising for the study of sediment tongues.xv, 135 leavesenRiver sediments Australia Eden Region (N.S.W.)Logging Environmental aspects Australia Eden Region (N.S.W.)Stream conservation Australia Eden Region (N.S.W.)Soil erosion Australia Eden Region (N.S.W.)199010.25911/5d74e3850b4db2017-04-18
