Abstract

• The impacts of climate and land-use changes on water and sediment dynamics were assessed for a river basin in northern Japan. • Severe depopulation is currently undergoing in rural areas of Japan. • Climate change decreased both discharge and SS loads due to an increase in evapotranspiration. • Land-use change decreased sediment yield but accelerated channel erosion, resulting in little changes in suspended sediment loads. • Combined climate and land-use changes substantially decreased suspended sediment loads due to a decrease in discharge and sediment yield.
