Modulation of sediment load recovery downstream of Three Gorges Dam in the Yangtze River
• Two lakes provided a sediment buffer to the declining sediment load of the Yangtze River for a 20-year period.
• The Dongting Lake has shifted from sink to source in 2006 due to both natural and human-driven morphological adaptation.
• The Poyang Lake has shifted from sink to source in 2000, mainly because of sand mining.
