The distance particles are transported is important because (i) is necessary for reconciling measurements of erosion made at different scales; (ii) it impacts on travel times of pollutants that adhere to eroded soil particles; and (iii) it is important for identifying sources of pollutants in waterways. Tracking soil particles is difficult because of their size, typically well under 2mm. This chapter reviews bulk tracking of sediment movement and tracking of individual particles. Most studies are small-scale and further work is needed to implement their findings to erosion from agricultural land, in combination with models that explicitly consider transport distance.
