Résumé

Long-chain saturated fatty acid (LCSFA) isotopic composition in tandem with Bayesian isotope mixing models (BIMM) can provide insight into land use-based sediment sources in catchment systems. Apportioning sediment sources robustly, however, requires careful consideration of how additional factors including topography, surface cover and land use practices interact to influence contributions from individual sources. Prior knowledge can be used in BIMM; however, the full capacity of this functionality has not been thoroughly exploited yet in conjunction with sediment fingerprinting. In response, we propose an approach for applying a state-of-the-art BIMM incorporating a sediment connectivity index (SCI) as an informative prior for sediment source apportionment in a highly hydrodynamic catchment in Nepal. A library of LCSFA carbon isotopic composition was constructed for surface soils collected from mixed forest, upland and lowland terraces in the Kharka micro-catchment. δ
