Concentrations of suspended sediment transported by rivers are influenced by interactions between multiple drivers that act on a range of spatial and temporal scales. Such levels vary over the year, as well as across multi-year periods. Most conventional approaches to determining suspended load are based upon analyses of total suspended sediment concentration (SSC), i.e., the sum of mineral and organic matter. This approach makes it difficult, if not impossible, to determine the impact of multiple environmental factors on changes in suspension concentration precisely. The present paper focuses on the mineral and organic components of suspended sediment with the aim of determining how our knowledge of the share of each individual component can improve interpretations of SSC fluctuations during a hydrological year. The analysis conducted (personal and other researchers’ results) has shown that mineral and organic suspensions demonstrate mutually incompatible opposite trends under influence of environmental factors. This analysis of organic components identifies clear seasonal trends, which indicates that organic suspensions of autogenous origin have a strong influence on the dynamics of changes in suspension concentration; such analyses are rarely included in assessments of SSC dynamics.
