Quantifying and characterizing contemporary riparian sedimentation

Fluvial processes of erosion, sediment transport and deposition determine the changing form and sedimentary structure of naturally adjusting riparian zones. Riparian sediment storage has both scientific and management importance in relation to: (i) the quantities of sediment that are involved; (ii) the quality of the sediment; and (iii) the dispersal of biological materials, notably the vegetation propagules that are transported and deposited in association with the sediment. After discussing the significance of riparian sedimentation processes, this paper reviews methods for quantifying contemporary sediment deposition within water bodies and their margins. Methods for investigating contemporary riparian sedimentation are given particular emphasis, and the extent to which different methods provide comparable estimates and have been used to support the analysis of different physical and chemical properties of the sediment are outlined. The importance of the following are stressed: (i) selecting a sampling method that is suited to the sedimentation environment; (ii) incorporating careful cross‐calibration if measurements from different methods are to be combined; and (iii) replicating measurements to give more robust estimates if small traps are employed. It is concluded that artificial turf mats provide a useful design of sediment trap across a range of environmental conditions because: (i) their surface roughness reduces problems of sediment removal by flood waters or rainfall; (ii) their pliability permits installation on irregular surfaces; (iii) they can be securely attached to the ground with metal pins to resist high shear stresses from river flows; (iv) they are robust and light and so easily manipulated in the field and laboratory; (v) it is possible to fully recover the deposited sediment to accurately determine the amount of sediment deposited and to support a range of other analyses. Results are presented to illustrate how artificial turf mats can be used to estimate the quantity and quality of deposited sediment and to explore the associated deposition of viable seeds. This provides one example of the important hydroecological role of riparian sedimentation processes and of the potential for the development of innovative, interdisciplinary research on riparian sediment dynamics.

黄河口河道演变规律探讨

通过分析黄河口河道在纵剖面、横断面、河型等方面的演变过程,总结归纳出黄河口河道的演变规律。指出:黄河口泥沙在潮汐涨落等因素影响下,河口河道纵剖面逐渐形成台阶状,与此同时,河口滩地横比降逐渐发展为倒比降;河口河道中段由顺直型河道逐渐转为弯曲型河道,而下段仍为相对顺直、游荡型河道。当河口河道中段比降减小到一定程度后,此河段开始漫滩、卡冰、出汊。河口台阶的形成揭示了黄河口流路由单股河道逐渐转为出汊的过程,即黄河口流路由“青壮期”逐渐转为“衰亡期”的过程。延长黄河口流路使用年限的途径是:①尽量减少黄河下游输向黄河口的泥沙量;②采取河口挖沙或人工改汊措施,地点宜选在河口河道的中下段。
