In a macrotidal environment with offshore breakwaters (Elmer, West Sussex) a new approach for the identification of the sediment transport pathways with grain size trend analysis (GSTA) was undertaken using statistical parameters (mean, sorting and skewness) directly derived from settling velocities distributions. The same samples were analysed with sieving (quarter- and half-phi resolution) and GSTA was performed again in order to directly compare the resultant sediment transport directions derived with the two analytical techniques. Furthermore, both regular and irregular sampling distributions were used to recalculate GSTA. Hydrodynamic data were collected in different locations around the breakwaters and net sediment transport directions were calculated in order to assess the accuracy of the sediment transport pathway directions derived with the different analytical techniques.The accuracy of settling velocity in determining the statistical parameters of the grain size distribution is identified, especially for the fine-medium sand sediments. Settling velocities produced better results than the sieving; the quarter-phi resolution producing the poorer results in comparison with the coarser half-phi resolution. The results for the different spatial sampling strategies are found to depend upon the number of samples utilised; that shows that the accuracy of the GSTA is based upon the ability of representing, adequately, the spatial distribution of the sediment parameters.  相似文献   

长江口泥质区垂向沉积结构及其环境指示意义   总被引：3，自引：1，他引：2

2006年4月在长江口泥质区获取了沉积物柱状样,进行了粒度分析及粒度分形计算,并从中提取沉积物环境变化敏感的粒度组分,结果表明,柱样的垂向沉积结构可分为两个部分:上部0~12cm是动力环境改造频繁的活动层,沉积物混合程度较高;自12cm以下沉积物有粗细旋回变化的特征,可能与长江入海泥沙的季节变化有关。本区沉积物主要含两个敏感粒度组分,标准偏差峰值为6.0~7.2μm的细组分与长江来源的悬沙粒径大致相当,而标准偏差峰值为40.7~57.5μm的粗组分则可能与风暴潮、波浪和潮流输沙、长江流域及河口区的水利工程的影响有关。沉积物粒度在0.9~20.3μm标度范围内的统计自相似程度很高,具有分形特征,粒度分维数的波动与沉积物粒度参数变化相吻合,表明沉积物粒度分维数具有一定的环境指示意义。  相似文献

Sedimentary nutrient dynamics in a tropical estuarine mangrove ecosystem     

M. Bala Krishna Prasad  A.L. Ramanathan 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2008

Mangrove sediments play a pivotal role in the nutrient biogeochemical processes by behaving as both source and sink for nutrients and other materials. Surface and core sediments were collected from various locations of the Pichavaram mangrove (India) and analyzed for grain size distribution, nutrients and stable N isotope (δ¹⁵N) signatures in order to understand the spatial and vertical distribution of nutrients and biogeochemical processes of the C, N, P and S in this ecosystem. Sand is the dominant fraction followed by silt and clay. Spatial distribution of nutrients is controlled by the external and internal loadings, whereas vertical distribution is largely driven by the in situ microbial activities. Interior mangrove sediments contain higher concentrations of organic carbon (OC) than the estuarine sediments reflecting high rates of organic matter retention. Finer fractions of sediment hold ∼60% OC due to high surface area. At some sampling points, moderately high δ¹⁵N signatures were observed and this may be because of agricultural runoff and aquaculture effluents.  相似文献

青藏高原中部色林错湖泊沉积物色度反映末次冰盛期以来区域古气候演化          下载免费PDF全文

杜丁丁  Muhammad Saleem Mughal  Dembele Blaise  张成君 《干旱区地理》2019,42(3):551-558

色林错湖位于青藏高原内部,是西藏第一大咸水内陆湖。研究区剖面选自色林错第三湖泊阶地,利用常用气候替代指标色度,结合粒度、碳酸盐含量［CaCO³（%）］、矿物分析和全有机质（TOC）等进行对比分析,同时采用¹⁴C测年方法对剖面进行准确的年代划分,初步探讨了末次冰盛期以来色林错湖泊沉积物色度增强机制的差异性。研究表明： a^*、b^*与中粗粒砂、磁化率具有较好的相关性;亮度L^*与CaCO³（%）具较好相关性;因而沉积物色度变化可反应区域古气候变化。同时对湖泊沉积物矿物分析发现,影响色度变化的制色矿物主要是针铁矿,且以还原环境为主。红度a^*高值与亮度L^*低值对应气候暖湿气候环境,沉积物粒度较粗,碳酸盐含量低,有机质含量高,磁化率较高值;反之,红度a^*低值,L^*高值,粒度较细,碳酸盐含量高,有机质含量低,磁化率低值,对应干冷气候。在17.4～15.5 cal ka BP阶段,对应干冷的气候特点;在15.5～10.4 cal ka BP阶段,对应温暖湿润的气候;在10.4～5.2 cal ka BP阶段,整体属于温暖湿润的气候特点;其中,在9.7～9.4 cal ka BP和8.75～8.5 cal ka BP为两个重要的冷事件,属于干湿的气候特点;在5.2～1.2 cal ka BP阶段,反映了干冷的气候特征;在4.3～4.0 cal ka BP,3.3～3.0 cal ka BP和2.4～1.75 cal ka BP,反映了干旱温暖的气候特点;在1.2 cal ka BP以后,色林错湖湖水迅速下降。  相似文献

东北地区县域粮劳变化耦合模式与乡村发展类型     

房艳刚  刘建志 《地理学报》2020,75(10):2241-2255

本文选取2001年、2008年和2015年3期截面数据,综合运用标准差椭圆等空间分析法和非参数检验等数理统计法,对东北地区183个县域粮食产量与农业劳动力变化的耦合模式及其表征的乡村发展类型进行研究。结果表明：① 2001—2015年东北地区总的粮劳变化耦合模式在2008年发生转折,2001—2008年为粮增劳减模式,2008—2015年为粮劳同增模式,这实际上是一种在多因素综合作用下发生的退化。② 县域层面,2008年前后两时段东北地区粮增劳减耦合模式的比例由45.90%下降为37.16%,同时粮减劳增与粮劳同减耦合模式的比例明显上升。从空间格局看,粮劳变化耦合模式转换的差异明显。③ 县域粮劳变化耦合模式可以较好的表征相应的乡村发展类型。县域乡村发展类型实际上具有一定的层级性和结构演进规律。④ 东北地区各县域乡村发展类型所面临的约束和机遇不同,应有针对性的采取差别化的推进策略。  相似文献   

Patterns and trends in grain self-sufficiency on the Tibetan Plateau during 1985–2016

Capacity for grain self-sufficiency on the Tibetan Plateau(TP) is an important basis for ensuring social stability and regional sustainability. Thus, based on county-level statistical data for population, grain production and consumption, we analyzed patterns and trends in grain supply and demand at regional, provincial, and county levels on the TP between 1985 and 2016. We applied two indices to evaluate capacity for grain self-sufficiency and found that the regional average self-sufficiency rate increased quickly by 1.97%/a since 1989, reaching 173.03% on the plateau over the period between 2010 and 2016. This indicates that grain supply in this region is able to fully meet demand. In addition, all provinces apart from Xinjiang exhibited similar increasing trends, attaining grain self-sufficiency during 2010–2016. Furthermore, 59% of counties attained grain self-sufficiency over this period, mainly distributed in southern Tibet, in the Sichuan-Tibet junction area, and in eastern Qinghai Province. A number of gaps in grain supply and demand occurred within the headwater regions of the Yangtze and Yellow rivers as well as on the Qiangtang Plateau. Grain self-sufficiency significantly increased over the study period in 36% of counties, mainly distributed in the agricultural areas of southeastern Tibet and in eastern Qinghai. Across the whole plateau, capacity for grain self-sufficiency substantially increased between 1985 and 2016, although serious spatial imbalances remain.  相似文献
