Study of the major Asian rivers discharge to the ocean reveals variations of their water discharges and sediment loads.and local characteristics of river sediment concentrations.On the basis of this,the Asian rivers fall into three regions,including Eurasia Arctic,East Asia,Southeast and South Asia Regions.The Eurasia Arctic Region is characterized by the lowest sediment concentration and load,while the East Asia Region is of the highest sediment concentration and higher sediment load,and the South-East and South Asia Region yields Higher Sediment concentration and highest sediment load. The sediment loads of these regions are mainly controlled by climate,geomorphology and tectonic activity.The Eurasia Arctc rivers with large basin areas and water discharge,drain low relief which consists of tundra sediment,thus causing the lowest sediment load.The East Asia rivers with small basin areas and lowest water discharges,drain extensive loess plateau,and transport most erodible loess material,which results in highest sediment concentration.The SE and South Asia rivers originating from the Tibet Plateau have large basin areas and the largest water discharges because of the Summer Monsoon and high rainfall influence,causing the highest sediment load.In Asia,tectonic motion of the Tibet Plateau Plays an important role.Those large rivers originating from the Tibet Plateau trasport about 50% of the world river sediment load to ocean annually,forming large estuaries and deltas,and consequently exerting a great influence on sedimentation in the coastal zone and shelves.  相似文献

由于化学溶出、物理溶解以及胞外酶等作用,沉积物捕获器中颗粒物在锚系布放期间会发生一定程度的溶解,从而引起沉积物捕获器中碳、氮颗粒物通量的低估。本文对于1987—1988年南海北部中深层沉积物捕获器中碳、氮颗粒物的溶解作用进行了研究。溶解作用对于碳、氮通量估算的影响大致随着深度的增加而减小。总体而言,颗粒有机碳通量低估约3.8%~40.3%,平均值为26.6%。颗粒氮通量低估约4.2%~76.4%,平均值为43.7%。碳、氮颗粒物的溶出量与颗粒物通量大小关系不明显,但是样品储存时间对于碳、氮颗粒物溶解作用的影响较显著,储存时间较长的样品中颗粒物溶出量更大。  相似文献

Vertical profiles of dissolved Al in the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea are presented. Although dissolved Al appears to be involved in the biochemical cycle of elements, Al does not behave solely as a nutrient within the oceans. Physico-chemical processes (i.e. adsorption and/or chemical precipitation) control the concentration and distribution of Alaq within the deep waters.A tentative mass balance model of Alaq in the oceanic system is proposed that takes into account all of the presently known fluxes of Alaq to and through the oceans. To maintain the deep waters of the ocean at steady state, it is necessary to include in the model, processes that remove Alaq from these waters. Thus, model calculations support the conclusions drawn from observations that physico-chemical processes remove Alaq from deep waters. Finally, the proposed model is compatible with the concept that the entire oceanic system is at steady state with respect to dissolved Al.  相似文献

By analysing the major compounds of river water, it has been found that the water of the Xijiang River is dominated by the weathering products of carbonates, and its hydrochemical character is similar to that of the Changjiang River. Whereas the rivers in Fujian and Eastern Guangdong are characterized by the high contents of dissolved silica and low dissolved salt load, reflecting the typical siliceous rivers. A rough estimate of dissolved salt fluxes to the ocean by these rivers has been obtained. The chemical weathering rate of the Xijiang River basin is 3 times higher than the chemical weathering rates of Fujian and Eastern Guangdong which are close to the average value of rivers in the world.  相似文献

Although it is well-known that reactions occur within estuaries to alter the flux of dissolved aluminum from rivers into the oceans, the nature and relative importance of these reactions are not well defined. In this study we show that sediment-water interactions can have a significant influence on dissolved Al distributions in estuaries. Undisturbed sediments will act as a sink for dissolved Al because of diffusion across the sediment-water interface and reaction of Al within the sediment. Resuspension of sediments will cause a release of dissolved Al into relatively Si-depleted estuarine waters.Flocculation of colloidal material may cause a net consumption of dissolved Al in estuaries. Our results indicate, however, that this process may not, in many cases, be the primary cause for curvature in Al-Cl? profiles. An alternative model, whereby Al is displaced from organic matter complexes and adsorption sites in the estuarine zone and reacts with Si and cations in solution, is consistent with the data presented in this study as well as many other studies. In this case, the extent of net Al removal in estuaries will be determined by both the amount and nature of the dissolved organic matter present.  相似文献

We examined the effects of sediment on fish communities at 38 sites in the East Cape region of New Zealand. Many streams in this region are subject to high sediment loads, a natural situation that has been exacerbated by the conversion of native forest to pasture. The fish community consisted of diadromous native species common throughout New Zealand that require access to and from the sea. We found that site altitude and distance inland were important factors in determining the abundance and composition of the fish community. We used four measures as indices of sediment load: suspended sediment concentration, median substrate size, substrate stability, and the ratio of the wetted width to the width of the active (non‐vegetated) stream channel. Although all indices were correlated, the ratio of wetted width to width of active channel was most closely related to fish abundance and diversity. Fish abundance and diversity reduced as sediment load increased among streams, with up to nine fish species in streams with low sediment loads and only two species in streams with high sediment loads. In‐stream habitat also varied with sediment load; as load increased, depth and substrate size decreased and velocity increased. These results suggest that activities that increase sediment loads in rivers will have a negative impact on native fish communities in New Zealand.  相似文献

黄河入海泥沙对渤海和黄海沉积作用的影响   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
渤海平均水深18m,最大水深70m,是一个较浅的海湾。黄海平均水深38m,其中部为水深大于50m的盆地。它们的共同特征是陆地环绕。沿岸河流输沙特征对沉积作用过程有重大影响,特别是黄河入海泥沙的影响尤为显著。 关于黄河人海泥沙对渤海和黄海沉积作用的影响,前人已从不同角度进行过讨论。黄河是世界上著名的多沙性河流。由于黄河尾闾长期以来不断发生变迁,纵横摆动于华北平原之上,交替注入渤海和黄海,因此,在讨论黄河入海泥沙在中国近海沉积中的作用时,必须把渤海和黄海作为一个整体,甚至南涉东海。本文试图在以往工作的基础上,概括讨论黄河入海泥沙对渤海和黄海海底沉积作用的影响。  相似文献

根据沉积物中营养盐的再生对水体中营养盐的收支循环动力学的作用.利用1998年秋季和1999年春季沉积物间隙水中营养盐的分析结果,建立了沉积物中营养盐的成岩模型,并由此计算了沉积物-水界面营养盐的交换通量.结果表明,硝化速率、反硝化速率、有机氮含量、硅质成分的溶解速率、生物扰动作用、孔隙率明显影响沉积物间隙水中营养盐的分布和沉积物-水界面的交换通量.对比了实验室培养法和扩散通量计算法测得沉积物-水界面营养盐的交换通量,表明2种方法所得NO3通量较一致,但NH4 ,PO43-,SiO32- 2种方法所得通量有一定差异,文中讨论了可能的原因.以渤海为例阐明了在用扩散通量法研究沉积物-水界面营养盐的交换通量时,表层沉积物分割厚度对界面交换通量影响显著,为了得到合理的与现场接近的结果表层沉积物的分割厚度以不超过1em为宜.  相似文献

Elemental mass-balance of material carried by major world rivers   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
An estimate of average river particulate matter (RPM) composition was bàsed on analyses of more than 40 elements in the Amazon, Congo, Ganges, Magdalena, Mekong, Parana and Orinoco rivers, to which were added literature data for 13 other major world rivers, covering the whole spectrum of morphoclimatic features. Geographic variations of major elements in RPM are mostly linked to weathering types and to the balance between weathering rate and river transport. As a result of chemical erosion, Al, Fe and Ti are enriched in RPM with respect to the average parent rock, while Na, Ca, Mg and Sr are strongly depleted. These figures are directly related to the relative importance of dissolved and particulate transport in rivers; this has been computed for each of 40 elements. In order to study weathering on a global scale, the total observed elemental fluxes (dissolved + particulate) have been computed and compared to theoretical ones. The latter were derived from the elemental content in the average parent rock and the total quantity of weathered material, computed from the Al ratio in RPM and in parent rock. Observed and theoretical fluxes are balanced for the less mobilized elements (rare earths, Co, Cr, Cs, Fe, Mn, Rb, Si, Th, Ti, U and V) for which no enrichment relative to Al is noted in RPM, and for B, Ba, Ca, K, Mg, Na, Sr which are relatively depleted in RPM due to their high dissolved transport. Additional fluxes have been found for Br, Sb, Pb, Cu, Mo, Zn and are possible also for Ni and P. This is reflected by marked enrichments in RPM relative to Al for the poorly or moderately dissolved transports (Pb, Cu, Zn). Several hypotheses involving either the natural origin (volcanic dust, marine aerosols, geochemical fractionation) or the artificial origin (worldwide pollution) are discussed to explain these discrepancies, assuming river transport and weathering either to be in a steady state on a global scale or not. However, none of them can fully account for these additional fluxes. It is most likely that these excesses have multiple origins, anthropogenic or natural or both. The comparison between RPM and deep-sea clay compositions emphasizes the prime influence of river input on oceanic sedimentation of Si, Al, Fe, Ti, lanthanides, Sc, Rb, V, etc. A few elements such as Zn, Sb, occur in excess in RPM as compared to deep-sea clays; in order to balance this excess, a remobilization of these elements out of the sediment can be considered. Finally, the enrichment of Co, Cu, Mn and Ni in deep-sea clays compared to RPM is discussed and attributed to several sources and processes.  相似文献

Few data on dissolved trace metals in rivers and estuaries are presently available. This paper is an attempt to provide additional data on dissolved concentrations obtained in polluted and so-called unpolluted river estuarine systems. Data for two major French rivers (Gironde, Rhône) have been compared with the Chinese Yellow River (Huanghe) and Yangtze River (Changjiang). Dissolved Cd concentrations have been measured by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry. Average concentrations range from 15 ng kg−1 to 50 ng kg−1 (0.13–0.45 nmol kg−1) in the French rivers and are below 4 ng kg−1 (0.040 nmol kg−1) in the Chinese rivers.In all the estuaries studied the dissolved Cd concentrations depict a systematic bulge in the mixing zone which is attributed largely to remobilization processes from particulate matter when the chlorinity increases. Other parameters that may also play a significant role for remobilization are discussed. The processes concerned lead us to reassess the net Cd river input to the oceans, and this should be taken into account for a more precise evaluation of the residence time of oceanic Cd.  相似文献

The small mountainous rivers draining the large island of New Guinea (area = 800,000 km2) discharge approximately 1.7 × 109 t of sediment annually, about the same as the combined estimated loads of rivers draining North America. Sediment yields are particularly high for rivers that drain the high mountains of eastern New Guinea, where drainage basins are high and drainage areas small. Owing to the generally narrow (<10 km wide) shelf off eastern New Guinea, much of the fluvial sediment may escape directly to the adjacent deep sea, as evidenced by the presence of sediment-filled trenches. In contrast, many of the rivers draining the south—central part of the island discharge onto a fairly broad shelf, where much of the sediment presumably remains, perhaps as prograding mud wedges.  相似文献

本文通过对南海东北部STD235沉积柱状样品稀土元素(REE)分布模式及特征参数的分析,结合主量元素分析结果,探讨了STD235柱状样沉积物REE指示的物质来源及其纵向变化与环境之间的关系。研究结果表明:20 ka以来STD235站位的沉积物具有基本相同的物质来源,以陆源物质输入为主。通过与周边河流沉积物的对比分析发现,STD235柱状样沉积物REE上地壳标准化的配分模式及其特征参数分布与台湾东南部河流沉积物具有密切的亲缘关系,表明该站位陆源物质主要来源于台湾东南部河流输入,进一步的分析表明台西南河流沉积物对该站位也有所贡献,沉积物的搬运过程主要受到了北太平洋深海流及黑潮的影响。沉积物中REE和主量元素的纵向变化指示20 ka以来南海东北部下陆坡的沉积物源区在冰期时风化作用较弱,间冰期则相对增强。该变化与沉积物源区的气候环境变化有关,指示了20 ka以来台湾地区气候由相对冷干向暖湿转变,由此推测20 ka以来台湾岛和华南地区应该受相同环境因素的制约,东亚季风系统是控制该区域环境变化的主因。此外,在约16~13 ka BP的末次冰消期期间,STD235柱状样沉积物中的各项指标都发生了显著的变化,并都指示了风化作用的逐渐增强,代表了该阶段沉积物源区逐渐向暖湿的气候环境转变。  相似文献

Pore Water Nutrient Regeneration in Shallow Coastal Bohai Sea, China   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The regeneration of pore water nutrients was studied and the contribution of benthic nutrient fluxes to the overlying water was evaluated on the basis of field specific observations conducted in September–October 1998 and April–May 1999 in the Bohai Sea. Nutrient concentrations in sediment pore waters were examined by incubating sediment core samples with overlying seawater in air and/or nitrogen conditions. Nutrient diffusion fluxes calculated by diagenetic equations were within a factor of 2 during incubations. The factors affecting nutrient diffusion across sediment/water interface include bioturbation, nitrification, denitrification, adsorption, and dissolution. The regeneration of nutrients from sediments will increase nutrient loads of the Bohai Sea and affect nutrient atomic ratios in this region. Among nutrient sources from riverine input, atmospheric deposition and sediment regeneration, ammonium and phosphate mainly came from atmospheric deposition (>50%); nitrate was mainly transported by riverine input into the Sea, silicate from sediment regeneration accounts up to 60%. This demonstrates that nutrient regeneration in sediments contributes more silicate than riverine input and atmospheric deposition together, but benthic flux contributes very much less phosphate and nitrate relative to riverine input and atmospheric deposition. The benthic fluxes of nutrients may lead to a decrease of the amount of nitrate, an increase of phosphate, ammonia and silicate in the water column. The release of silicate from sediments may compensate the decrease of silicate due to the reduction of riverine discharge. Nutrient regeneration in sediment may have an important influence on the eutrophic character of coastal waters in this region. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

东、黄海沉积物-水界面营养盐交换速率的研究   总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9  
2000年10月和2001年5月随“东方红2号”考察船在东、黄海进行考察,在A2、E2、E4、E5、E65个站位作了培养实验,研究沉积物-水界面在氧化和还原条件下的交换通量。在东海海域,NO3-、PO43-、总磷(TDP)由水向沉积物中扩散,NH4 、SiO32-由沉积物向水中扩散,NO3-、TDP、NH4 在还原条件下的交换通量大于氧化条件下的交换通量,PO43-、SiO32-在氧化还原条件下的交换通量基本一致。在黄海海域,两站位各溶解态营养盐的迁移方向有较大差异。在距离陆地较近的海域,各溶解态营养盐多由水中向沉积物中扩散,且距离陆地越近,交换通量越大。在东、黄海海域,沉积物释放的SiO32-对初级生产力的贡献分别为13%、10%~18%,与河流输送和大气沉降相比,沉积物对黄海、东海SiO32-的贡献分别占90%、86%,说明沉积物是SiO32-的源。而在整个东、黄海海域,对于溶解无机氮(DIN)和PO43-来说,它们的交换通量为负值,即沉积物从水体中吸附溶解无机氮和磷,说明沉积物是DIN和PO43-的汇。  相似文献

~(210) Po and ~(210) Pb are increasingly used to constrain particle dynamics in the open oceans, however they are less used in coastal waters. Here, distributions and partitions of ~(210) Po and ~(210) Pb were examined in the Taiwan Strait, as well as their application to quantify particle sinking. Activity concentrations of dissolved ~(210) Po and ~(210) Pb(0.6 μm)ranged from 1.21 to 7.63 dpm/(100 L) and from 1.07 to 6.33 dpm/(100 L), respectively. Activity concentrations of particulate ~(210) Po and ~(210) Pb varied from 1.96 to 36.74 dpm/(100 L) and from 3.11 to 38.06 dpm/(100 L). Overall,particulate ~(210) Po and ~(210) Pb accounted for the majority of the bulk ~(210) Po and ~(210) Pb. 210 Po either in dissolved or particulate phases showed similar spatial patterns to 210 Pb, indicating similar mechanisms for controlling the distributions of ~(210) Po and ~(210) Pb in the Taiwan Strait. The different fractionation coefficients indicated that particles in the Zhemin Coastal Current(ZCC) inclined to absorb 210 Po prior to 210 Pb while they showed an opposite effect in the Taiwan Warm Current(TWC). Based on the disequilibria between ~(210) Po and ~(210) Pb, the sinking fluxes of total particulate matter(TPM) were estimated to range from –0.22 to 3.84 g/(m2·d), showing an overall comparable spatial distribution to previous reported sediment accumulation rates. However, our sinking fluxes were lower than the sedimentation rates, indicating a sediment resuspension in winter and horizontal transport of particulate matter from the Taiwan Strait to the East China Sea.  相似文献

The concentration of dissolved and particulate Re have been measured in the Narmada, Tapi and the Mandovi estuaries in the Arabian Sea and the Hooghly estuary in the Bay of Bengal. Re concentration in water and particulate matter of these estuaries is highly variable. Re in river waters analysed varies from 1 to 41 pmol/kg, the lowest in the Mandovi and the highest in the Mahi river. Re concentrations in the rivers analysed except in the Mandovi river are higher than the average global riverine Re concentration of 2.1 pmol/kg. Based on this study and the available data, the contemporary global annual flux of dissolved riverine Re is estimated to be ~ 350 × 103 mol with an average concentration of ~ 9.2 pmol/kg, much higher than the earlier estimates. Residence time of Re in the oceans based on this estimate is 175,000 years, ~ 4 times lower compared to earlier estimates. Re behaves conservatively in all the estuaries studied. Re concentrations of seawater in the Bay of Bengal and in the Arabian Sea, estimated from the data of the Hooghly and the Mandovi estuaries respectively are ~ 40 pmol/kg, similar to the open ocean Re values of the Arabian Sea measured in this study and the values reported for in other oceanic regions. However, the dissolved Re in the Gulf of Cambay is 2 to 5 times higher, consistent with the high Re measured in the Mahi estuary and in the coastal waters of the Gulf of Cambay. The source of high Re in the Gulf of Cambay seems to be anthropogenic, measurements of Re in rivers and industrial waste waters draining into the Gulf supply amount to ~ 2300 mol of Re annually. This anthropogenic supply coupled with high residence time of water in the Gulf contribute to its high Re. Re concentration in suspended sediments of the Narmada estuary varies from 1 to 2 pmol/g, and does not show any discernible trend with salinity.The contemporary global riverine Re supply to the oceans estimated in this study is ~ 2–4 times higher compared to its removal in the reducing (anoxic/suboxic) sediments, indicating non-steady state of Re in the ocean. High dissolved riverine Re flux coupled with high Re content in the Gulf of Cambay highlights the need of a detailed study of Re in the various global rivers and in oceans including coastal regions and semi enclosed basins of the world to understand its behaviour in various reservoirs and to constrain the residence time of Re in the ocean.  相似文献

The tectonically active islands of the Indo-Pacific Archipelago deliver much sediment to the ocean margins. In the Gulf of Papua on the south coast of Papua New Guinea (PNG), the chemical composition of surface sediment from grab samples indicates that Fly River muds are dispersed to the north and east, where they are joined by sediment plumes from the other large rivers along the south coast of PNG. This is the likely source of terrestrial sediment on the Papuan Plateau and the northern Coral Sea Abyssal Plain. The sediment is transported through submarine troughs and canyons offshore, far to the east of the riverine inputs. Immediately south and 30–50 km offshore from the Fly and Purari deltas is a platform of algal and reef carbonate materials, containing little or no terrestrial surface sediment.  相似文献

基于小波变换的水沙关系特征分析:以长江大通站为例   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
根据长江大通站近50年(1957~1999年)的水沙数据,利用复Morlet小波变换,分析水沙时间序列多尺度小波特征,建立了不同时间尺度上的水沙关系式.分析结果显示:(1) 大通站水沙序列年内洪、枯季周期波动最为显著,流量的长周期特征明显,含沙量与输沙量的短周期特征显著.(2) 大通站水沙序列多尺度特征明显,流量的振荡周期主要为3~6 a和8~16 a;含沙量多尺度振荡周期较为平稳,4~6 a的周期振荡中心尺度呈明显下降的趋势;输沙量以4~6 a和10~14 a的周期显著振荡,输沙量变化平稳,较含沙量变化有一定的滞后期.(3) 根据流量小波特征分析,近50年的水沙变化过程大致可分为3个时期,分时段拟合水沙关系曲线,发现总体水沙曲线的指数与正常期和丰水期的接近,而与少水期的存在较大的差距.少水期系数较小、指数较大,表明在少水期泥沙的供给量较少,但水流的搬运能力增强.  相似文献

为研究调水调沙对黄河下游溶解铀浓度及其入海通量的影响,于2014年调水调沙期间在黄河小浪底站及利津站进行了连续同步观测。结果发现,调水调沙期间,小浪底站溶解铀浓度的平均值在调水阶段为(4.28±0.33)μg/L,调沙阶段为(4.19±0.29)μg/L;利津站溶解铀浓度的平均值在调水阶段为(4.55±0.22)μg/L,调沙阶段为(4.87±0.40)μg/L。无论是调水阶段还是调沙阶段,利津站溶解铀浓度的平均值均比小浪底站高,且调沙阶段溶解铀增加量显著高于调水阶段。进一步分析讨论得出调水调沙期间氧化还原条件的变化以及悬浮颗粒物粒径的变化是影响黄河下游溶解铀化学行为的主要因素。2014年调水调沙的运行使得黄河下游利津站的溶解铀入海通量比河流正常输运状态下增加了8.3×102 kg;而2015年在只进行了调水的情况下,从小浪底站到利津站溶解铀通量减少了4.1×103 kg,说明不同模式下的调水调沙对溶解态铀入海通量的影响是不同的。由于在黄河口咸淡水混合带存在着悬浮颗粒物向水体释放溶解铀的现象,根据调水调沙期间悬浮颗粒物的增加量及溶解铀的释放系数估算得到2010年、2012年、2013年、2014年调水调沙期间在河口混合带释放的溶解铀分别为1.57×104 kg、0.739×104 kg、0.690×104 kg和8.25×102 kg,分别占各自年份全年溶解铀入海通量的15%、7.7%、5.3%和1.3%。  相似文献

利用现场海水培养实验,结合浮游动物网样数据,研究长江口邻近海域几种优势桡足类(中华哲水蚤、背针胸刺水蚤、太平洋纺锤水蚤和精致真刺水蚤)对微型浮游动物的摄食影响。结果表明,精致真刺水蚤虽然属于肉食性种类,但几乎不摄食微型浮游动物;其余三种杂食性桡足类中华哲水蚤、背针胸刺水蚤和太平洋纺锤水蚤对微型浮游动物(纤毛虫+异养甲藻)的摄食率分别为0.66、0.09和0.59μg C/(ind·d),分别占其日总摄食量的29%、24%和37%。其中,异养甲藻在初始生物量和对桡足类饵料贡献上分别占整个微型浮游动物的30%和28%,是微型浮游动物中一个重要的组成类群。中华哲水蚤对微型浮游动物的摄食率与初始食物浓度有显著的正相关关系,并且对体长20μm纤毛虫的清滤率要明显高于对体长20μm的纤毛虫(P0.01)的清滤率,表明其偏好摄食较大个体的食物。通过Chesson选择性指数显示,尽管微型浮游动物在生物量上远小于浮游植物,但桡足类能优先选择摄食微型浮游动物;进一步结合网采浮游动物数据,获得各站三种优势桡足类丰度平均占桡足类总丰度的77%,但它们对微型浮游动物现存生物量的摄食压力仅为0.8%,表明桡足类对微型浮游动物群落的下行控制作用并不明显,仍有大部分微型浮游动物生物量未通过摄食途径进入到桡足类群落中。  相似文献
