Located in the southeastern China and northern Vietnam, Red River is an important international trans-boundary river that has experienced rapid deforestation environmental changes over past decades. We conducted attribution analysis of impacts various on streamflow sediment load. The contribution reclassified to total change load was separated. Land cover based climate-induced human-induced indicators were defined. found land main factor affecting Changes more pronounced dry season than wet whereas changed season. In addition, mainly caused by influential basin.
