The job of the river     

Jonathan D. Phillips 《地球表面变化过程与地形》2010,35(3):305-313

Earth scientists have traditionally conceptualized rivers and streams as geomorphic machines, whose role is to transfer sediment and to sculpt the landscape. Steady‐state relationships between sediment supply and transport capacity have traditionally been considered normative in fluvial systems. Rivers are hydrological entities, however, whose function is to redistribute excess moisture on land. The geomorphic work of the river – erosion, transport, deposition, etc. – is a byproduct of the hydrological job of the river. There is therefore no reason to expect any particular relationship between sediment supply and transport capacity to develop as a normative condition in fluvial systems. The apparent steady‐state equilibrium slope adjustments of rivers are a byproduct of four basic phenomena: (1) hydraulic selection, which favors channels and branching networks over other flux patterns; (2) water flows along the available path of least resistance; (3) energy dissipation; and (4) finite relaxation times. Recognizing converging trends of stream power or slope and sediment supply as common (but far from inevitable) side effects rather than self‐regulation has important implications for interpreting and predicting fluvial systems, and for river management and restoration. Such trends are variable, transient, contingent, and far from universal. Where they occur, they are an emergent byproduct of fundamental physical mechanisms, not a goal function or attractor state.

Climate change and sediment flux from the Roof of the World   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Potential rises in global temperature are likely to have major impacts on high altitude environments, including glacier recession and permafrost degradation. In turn, these could have far‐reaching impacts on riverine sediment flux. Such impacts are emerging in the Himalayas and Tibet Plateau region, one of the world's largest and most environmentally‐sensitive cold regions. Closer monitoring is urgently required to track changing trends of sediment load from the interactions of glacial recession treat, rainfall changes and human interventions, and to study the implications of such changes for the large Asian river systems of the region.

磷是坦噶尼喀湖生态系统中必不可少的营养元素,直接决定湖体初级生产力的高低,进而影响到周边居民对于动物蛋白的获取来源.为了解坦噶尼喀湖磷的外源输入,选择湖泊东北部的入湖河流,对表层沉积物(16个样点)中总磷(TP)和各形态磷含量及其分布特征进行分析,并探讨磷的形态分布特征与土地利用方式之间的相关关系.结果表明,入湖河流沉积物TP含量为73.05~239.94 mg/kg,平均含量为152.64±55.37 mg/kg,其中最高值出现在马拉加拉西河口.采用Psenner法对磷进行连续浸提并比较不同形态磷含量,由高及低依次为铁铝结合态磷(Fe/Al-P)钙结合态磷(CaP)有机磷(Org-P)残渣态磷(Res-P)弱吸附态磷(Labile-P).土地利用类型对TP及各形态磷含量影响较大,其中TP含量表现为河口湿地城镇附近林草地区,表明地表径流和人类活动会对TP含量产生影响,而对于不同形态磷含量,Laible-P、Fe/Al-P、Org-P含量均表现为河口湿地林草地城镇附近,Ca-P、Res-P含量均表现为城镇附近河口湿地林草地.分析沉积物理化性质与各磷形态之间的相关性,发现沉积物总氮(TN)、有机质和总有机碳与Fe/Al-P、LabileP和TP相关性较好,与Org-P、Ca-P和Res-P相关性较差,表明TN和有机质的输入,会伴随沉积物中磷含量的升高,其增量的赋存形态主要为氧化还原敏感态磷和Labile-P.沉积物粒径组成与各磷形态含量存在相关性,细粒径沉积物与各形态磷含量呈显著正相关,粗粒径沉积物与各形态磷呈显著负相关,表明细小颗粒更易吸附磷.  相似文献

岸滩侧蚀崩塌现象普遍存在于江河湖泊中,是一种危害较大的自然灾害。季节性冰冻河流受水动力、冻融耦合作用,岸滩崩塌机理复杂,开展其岸坡稳定性研究对河势控制和河流综合治理具有重要意义。以松花江干流大顶子山航电枢纽下游近坝段为例,采用BSTEM断面尺度模型,对河岸崩塌过程进行了模拟,定量分析了冻融作用对河岸稳定性的影响。研究结果表明:涨水期河岸稳定性相对较高,洪水期和退水期稳定性相对较低,为崩岸多发时期;冻融作用会使河岸稳定安全系数F_s提前达到不稳定临界值,即与不考虑冻融作用相比,河岸提前崩塌,且考虑冻融作用的崩塌宽度更接近实测值,累计冲刷崩塌总量增幅约为7%～41%。研究结果可为季节性冰冻河流岸滩崩塌及河道演变研究提供一定借鉴和参考。  相似文献   

阿留申低压次季节尺度异常对北太平洋冬季降水的影响分析          下载免费PDF全文

张露萱  任雪娟 《气象科学》2021,41(5):597-605

利用1979—2018年的冬季逐日气象数据，研究了北太平洋地区冬季（12月至次年2月）阿留申低压次季节尺度变化特征，分析了次季节尺度阿留申低压异常与降水和极端降水异常之间的联系。选择1979—2018年共40个阿留申低压次季节尺度从异常增强到减弱的完整事件，记录下每个位相具体日期运用于合成分析。通过合成分析的结果可知：次季节尺度阿留申低压异常增强（减弱）时，北太平洋海盆区的降水呈现出明显的东多（少）西少（多），同时副热带西太平洋略偏多（少）的分布型。次季节尺度蒸发异常和整层水汽输送散度异常能够解释以上降水异常的空间分布。在阿留申低压异常偏强时，自北太平洋中部向东北延伸至北美沿岸区域内大气河发生频率增加，使得海盆中部向东和东北汇聚更多的水汽，北美西海岸地区更易发生极端降水事件。  相似文献

邛海是云贵高原水域面积>25 km²的11个天然湖泊之一。基于邛海入湖河流与湖区水质监测数据,揭示入湖河流水质特征,并探究其湖区响应。结果表明:2021年,邛海入湖河流水质空间异质性显著,且分为自然型、农业型和城镇型3种类型河流。官坝河等3条自然型河流水质优良,而高仓河等8条城镇型和农业型河流(R4～R11)水质较差,污染物浓度超标严重。2011—2021年,邛海主要入湖河流(官坝河、鹅掌河、小青河)的营养盐浓度呈下降或先增加后下降趋势,水质逐渐改善。流域土地利用变化是导致邛海入湖河流水质空间异质性的主要因素,同时也是河流水质在2011—2021年改善的原因之一。受湖泊水文环境与入湖河流污染类型影响,2017—2021年邛海湖区水环境及其与河流水质响应关系差异性明显:高枧湾水域(L5)水深浅、水环境容量小,主要受纳城镇污水,因而湖区营养盐与叶绿素a浓度高,在2021年达富营养状态;官坝河、鹅掌河与小青河入湖影响区(L1～L3)与小渔村(L4)水域湖水深、水环境容量大,污染物浓度与营养状态指数低,但因汇入的河流污染类型不同,湖区营养水平与河流水质响应存在季节性...  相似文献

于2014年9月24至26日在鄱阳湖通江水道湖口至屏峰段使用SIMRAD EY60回声探测仪对鱼类资源进行水声学调查.结果显示,鄱阳湖通江水道鱼类目标强度平均值为-56.4±6.4 d B,范围为-69.9~-32.1 d B;估算的平均全长为7.6 cm,范围为1.2~98.0 cm;鱼类资源的平均密度为53.7 ind./1000 m3,范围为0~441.7 ind./1000 m3.在水平分布上,鱼类主要分布在湖口县、鞋山和屏峰附近3个水域.区域Ⅰ和区域Ⅲ的鱼类密度显著高于区域Ⅱ的鱼类密度;区域Ⅲ的鱼类个体大小显著小于区域Ⅰ和区域Ⅱ.在垂直分布上,多数鱼类栖息于主河槽的深水区,且大个体更倾向于深水区.在此基础上,利用Arc GIS地统计插值方法估算鄱阳湖通江水道湖口至屏峰山水域鱼类总数量约为6.2×107ind.,总生物量约620 t.结果表明,鄱阳湖通江水道是鱼类重要的栖息地,建议加强该水域的保护,保持鄱阳湖与长江的自然连通.  相似文献

池塘、河渠、水库是乡村流域水环境的重要组成.基于WASP模型,综合运用现场调查、GIS空间分析、污染负荷估算等方法,构建茅山地区李塔陈庄乡村流域的水质模拟模型.结果表明,主要水质指标的污染程度从高至低依次为总氮(TN)、总磷(TP)和高锰酸盐指数、氨氮.TN全年在不同水体中达到劣Ⅴ类的比例在52%~100%,而池塘、河渠的污染程度较为接近.夏、冬季,超过TP劣Ⅴ类限值的河渠占2%~6%,池塘占8%~14%,而流域中部乡村周边的池塘明显更为严重.负荷输入是模型主要不确定性因素,细化种植模式能够提高总体模拟效果,而禽畜散养与农村生活造成的污染则分别对池塘、河渠的水质影响更为明显.本研究建立了乡村流域多种水体在面源污染影响下的水质联系,能够为乡村水环境治理提供决策参考.  相似文献   

A general Lagrangian tracking methodology for riverine flow and transport

This article presents a new public domain tool for generalized Lagrangian particle tracking in rivers. The approach can be applied with a variety of two- and three-dimensional flow solvers. Particle advection by the flow is incorporated using flow fields from the chosen solver assuming particles follow the Reynolds-averaged flow, although some other simple passive and active particle behaviors are also treated. Turbulence effects are treated using a random walk algorithm with spatial step lengths randomly chosen from Gaussian distributions characterized by the diffusivity from the flow solver. Our work extends this concept to a general framework that is solver and coordinate system independent to allow easy comparisons between differing flow treatments. To better treat problems where detailed information is required in specific regions, the approach includes novel cloning and colligation algorithms which enhance local resolution at modest computational expense. We also provide tools for computing local concentrations and total exposure over a user-specified time interval. Several examples of predictions are provided to illustrate applications of the technique, including examination of the role of curvature-driven secondary flows, storage in lateral separation eddies, treatment of larval drift, treatment of fuel spill dispersion, river-floodplain connections, and sedimentation in floodplain ponds by tie channel connections. We also demonstrate that the model can reproduce analytically derived concentration profiles for simple diffusivities. These examples show that the Lagrangian particle tracking approach and the extensions proposed here are broadly applicable and viable for treating difficult river problems with multiple temporal and spatial scales. The examples also illustrate the utility of the cloning/colligation extensions and show how these can decrease the computational effort required on problems where high local resolution is required. Enhancement of the tools and even broader applicability can be achieved through the inclusion of multiple particle populations and particle–particle interactions.  相似文献
