Example syntheses of time series data from the Kinderveld catchment, BE (250 ha) and the Nučice catchment, CZ (53 ha) in the EUSEDcollab repository. Note that the data is not area-normalised and the data from the Kinderveld catchment (a) is presented in tonnes per aggregated event, while the Nučice catchment (b) is made available and presented in tonnes per day. Additionally, it is important to consider the following contextual factors: (i) The Nučice measurements include periods with baseflow carrying sediments, whereas in the Kinderveld, only runoff events are included. This difference in sediment sources (rill and interrill, bank erosion and gullying) between the two catchments, explained in the related literature (Tables 2, 3), may contribute to variations in the observed values. (ii) In Nučice, the low number of days in the data record for specific years (e.g., 2015, 2017, 2018, 2021) is due to exceptionally dry years when the discharge was zero or very low, limiting the availability of sediment data.
