Description: Field observations from two small watersheds in Southern Ontario link the frequency and magnitude of significant soil erosion and sediment transport loads from January through April to particular sets of hydrometeorological and soil conditions. Rainfall, and a combination of rainfall and snowmelt, occurring on soil in which the surface has thawed but subsurface layers are still frozen, account for most of the major stream sediment load events. Laboratory and field data verify that both low soil density and high soil water content are present during these events resulting in the associated soil erodibility of the surface soil being high and the shear strength being low.
