It is a typical lowland, intensively cultivated catchment with an 11th century pond at its outlet. As in many similar environments, this catchment underwent large landscape changes since the second half of the 20th century: implementation of drainage systems, stream redesign and land reallocation. This resulted in changes in sediment transfer processes and in widespread morphological alterations of water bodies. There is still little combined knowledge on the intensity, processes \u0026 sources of sediments in these environments although these are necessary to implement efficient mitigation strategies. Long term sedimentation rates are studied through analysis of sediments accumulated in the pond. Current suspended sediment fluxes are monitored with a high frequency through five hydrosedimentary stations. Fingerprinting techniques are used to trace the origin of sediments.","citation":null,"relatedIdentifiers":null,"status":{"label":"Operational","uri":"http:\/\/vocabs.lter-europe.net\/elter_cl\/10772"},"yearEstablished":2012,"yearClosed":null,"relatedSites":[{"typeOfRelationship":{"label":"belongs to","uri":"null"},"listOfSites":[{"type":"site","title":"LTSER Zone Atelier Loire - France","id":{"prefix":"https:\/\/deims.org\/","suffix":"d2ffb931-ecac-48f9-8474-3d382d43f3f6"},"changed":"2025-01-09T17:23:23+0100"}]}],"siteName":"LTSER Zone Atelier Loire - Louroux Watershed","shortName":"ZAL_Louroux","siteType":"Stationary land-based site","protectionLevel":null,"landUse":null,"images":[{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/photos\/louroux-watershed-france_6217.png","alt":"Site location"},{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2020-09\/Runoff.JPG","alt":"Agricultural runoff on Louroux Watershed (photo by S\u00e9bastien Salvador-Blanes) "},{"url":"https:\/\/deims.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2020-09\/Masniers.png","alt":"Measurements of water level and flow (photo by S\u00e9bastien Salvador-Blanes) "}]},"environmentalCharacteristics":{"airTemperature":{"yearlyAverage":11.4,"monthlyAverage":null,"unit":"\u00b0C","referencePeriod":null},"precipitation":{"yearlyAverage":684,"monthlyAverage":null,"unit":"mm","referencePeriod":null},"biogeographicalRegion":"atlantic","biome":"agricultural","ecosystemType":[{"label":"Agricultural","uri":null},{"label":"Fresh Water Lakes","uri":null},{"label":"Lakes","uri":null},{"label":"Rivers","uri":null},{"label":"Small lakes","uri":null},{"label":"Small rivers","uri":null}],"eunisHabitat":[{"label":"Arable land and market gardens (I1)","uri":null},{"label":"Inland surface waters (C)","uri":null},{"label":"Intensive unmixed crops (I1.1)","uri":null},{"label":"Permanent non-tidal, smooth-flowing watercourses (C2.3)","uri":null},{"label":"Regularly or recently cultivated agricultural, horticultural and domestic habitats (I)","uri":null},{"label":"Surface running waters (C2)","uri":null},{"label":"Temporary running waters (C2.5)","uri":null}],"landforms":null,"geoBonBiome":["Fresh water lakes","Fresh water rivers","Terrestrial"],"geology":"The lithology consists of post-Helvetian sand and continental gravels (32%), Senonian flint clays (23%), Quaternary loess (18%), Helvetian shelly sands (18%), Ludian Touraine lacustrine limestones (6%),and Eocene silicic conglomerate (2%) (Rasplus et al., 1982 in Grangeon et al., 2017).
