Stream power The Yangtze River dominates the drainage of eastern Asia, yet the processes that control erosionwithin the basin are obscure, making the interpretation of the detritus record difficult. In this studywe used U–Pb dating of zircon grains from themodernmain stream andmajor tributaries to identify the sources of sediment production, based on the diversity of zircon ages associated with the different tectonic blocks over which the Yangtze flows. We demonstrate that tributaries in the central part of the catchment are the most important in supplying sand-sized sediment to themain stream, i.e., theHanjiang, Xiangjiang and Jialingjiang, aswell as along themain stream (Jinshajiang) between Panzhihua and Yibin. Surprisingly, the rivers d...
