N2 - The objective here is to show the ability of δ15N, δ13C, and C/N to capture the response of morphologic erosion processes. Analyses of δ15N, δ13C, and C/N of suspended eroded-soils, upland soils, and floodplain soils illustrate that an early event on March 7th 2003 was indicative of non-equilibrium sediment transport conditions. Later events on March 14th and 22nd produce eroded-soil in quasi-equilibrium conditions that may be predicted using rill erosion and headcut erosion models. It is expected that the sensitivity of δ15N, δ13C, and C/N will serve the purpose of sediment transport model calibration for further studying morphologic erosion processes.
