江苏海岸潮滩沉积的研究

一、潮滩环境江苏海岸北起赣榆绣针河口,南至长江口北,全长了37.5公里,其中约667.5公里为粉砂淤泥质海岸。历史上长江曾在今河口以北入海,黄河多次在苏北入黄海,给江苏海岸带来大量沉积物。江苏沿岸潮差较大(2—4米),潮汐作用强。潮滩发育完善,潮滩平均宽10—13公里,最宽36公里(弶港),平均坡度仅0.2%。潮滩呈明显的分带性,自     

港湾淤泥质潮滩的周期变化

浙江三门湾为典型半封闭强潮港湾,淤泥质潮滩十分发育,存在沉积地貌相带分异。潮滩发育过程中,冲刷和淤积状态交替,形成涨落潮周期、大小潮周期、年周期、多年周期和风暴的“潮滩循环”,与动力环境因素的周期变化相关;台风引起剧烈滩槽交换,是其重要的非潮汐因素。由于毗邻潮汐汊道,湾内宽广蓄潮区导致强劲落潮优势流,自然状态下潮滩及潮下带淤积缓慢。据210Pb和137Cs分析,近百年来长期平均沉积速率为0.56～0.81cm/a.但自60年代以来,湾内大量围涂堵港,导致潮下带浅滩与深槽淤积加快。     

江苏省淤泥质潮滩的潮流特征及悬移质沉积过程

江苏淤泥质潮滩属于有大-中潮差的开敞或半开敞潮滩。根据多断面昼夜水文观测,本文分析了潮滩潮流及悬移质沉积物的分布及变化,并与荷兰瓦登海(Waddenzee)等处淤泥质潮滩进行了对比。作者指出著名的延迟机制在开敞或半开敞的强潮潮滩上的适用性和局限性,发现潮滩上有水沙的水平余循环及类潮流椭圆,认为广阔的潮滩可以分成相对独立的一系列沿岸单元。     

古代黄河三角洲海岸的现代特征--黄河三角洲潮滩时空谱系研究I

从冀鲁交界的大口河口向东至顺江沟为蜿蜒120 km的粉沙淤泥质海岸。作者先后于1987、1992和2000年对该海岸进行了多次实地考察，并应用80年代至90年代末以来的航空和卫星遥感等资料对其进行了综合分析。公元11～1128年，黄河尾闾在此摆动入海，形成河口滩型海岸。1128年以后，黄河自此迁走，在海洋动力作用下，由河口滩型海岸逐渐演变成为典型的潮滩型海岸。该岸段海岸发育了广阔平坦的、相带十分明显的潮滩地带。在潮滩上同时发育了岛链状贝壳堤、残留冲积岛和巨大的多级分叉贯通性的潮水沟网络，构成了独具特色的海岸地貌环境体系，即黄河三角洲潮滩海岸时空谱系中的古代黄河三角洲海岸。     

潮滩沉积动力学研究概况

海洋水位的变化给予海岸发育的影响非常大,Davis(1964)按潮差进行海岸分类。当潮差大于4米、在2—4米之间或小于2米,这些海岸分别被称为强潮、中潮、或弱潮海岸。潮汐不仅用水流直接作用于潮滩沉积物及其形态,而且通过潮位涨落使潮滩周期性交替受到大气或波浪的作用。此外,潮汐又是对潮滩生物分异现象最有影响的环境因素。长周期的海平面相对升降对于盐沼和潮滩的塑造也有巨大的影响。本文仅介绍近期淤泥质潮滩沉积动力学研究的某些成果。

江苏淤长型淤泥质潮滩的剖面发育

本文根据江苏射阳河口—长江口淤长型淤泥质潮滩布设的19个测量断面连续10年(1980—1989年)的观测资料,对其潮滩的沉积特征和剖面的形成过程进行了研究分析,提出了影响这里潮滩剖面发育的主要因素有泥沙供应、风浪、潮流以及围垦等;而江苏淤长潮滩双凸形剖面形态的形成是由潮滩的两个沉积峰区所造成的,同时,风浪、供沙等季节性因素,潮汐变化周期性因素,围垦等人为因素也使潮滩剖面形态不断调整变化。     

河口海岸潮滩蟹类生物扰动行为过程研究进展

河口海岸潮滩是具有较高生物生产力和生物多样性的生态系统。蟹类作为一种典型的生态系统工程师,分布广泛、种类繁多,可影响整个潮滩生态系统的物质与能量循环。蟹类的分布与盐度、淹水时长、湿度、温度、底质等非生物因子有关,也与植被、捕食作用、种内种间竞争等生物因子和人类活动有关。蟹类挖掘洞穴,形成了优先排水通道,增加了土壤蒸发速率,改变了孔隙水循环以及土壤的物理化学性质,进而可影响潮滩泥沙稳定性以及微地貌形态,甚至会影响中长期潮滩地貌演变。目前,蟹类对于沉积物稳定性、泥沙输运规律、微地貌演变的影响依然有待深入研究,有必要开展中长期现场观测和试验、多因子驱动下系统演变数值模拟以及综合分析,推动相关研究从定性向定量层面迈进。     

粉砂淤泥质潮滩的多波段与多时相卫片解译

陆地卫星多波段图像可用于辨别淤积型、冲刷型和稳定型粉砂淤泥质潮滩.用多时相的6波段图像可预报潮滩的宽度和坡度.在渤海湾沿岸布置13个测量剖面,用13幅不同时相的塘沽幅卫片量计各剖面的实时潮滩宽度,并与塘沽验潮站相应的潮高资料进行对比,拟合成二次曲线.据此算得的潮高为零时的潮滩宽度以渤海湾湾顶附近岸段的最小,向南北两端增大;潮滩平均坡度的分布则相反.从卫片量得的潮滩宽度和坡度的沿岸分布,与根据海图测量的以及地面实测的具有相同的趋势,其计算精度与海图的相似,而高于滩面实测.     

围垦工程影响下的淤涨型潮滩演化:以江苏弶港潮滩为例

通过对受到围垦工程影响的江苏弶港海岸两条潮滩剖面的多期高精度实测高程及沉积物粒度数据进行分析,探讨淤涨型潮滩剖面对围垦工程的响应特征及剖面演化模式。结果表明,在物源充足的淤涨型潮滩围垦,可导致沉积物在围垦堤附近海域快速堆积、沉积物粒径变细;离海堤越远,沉积速率及沉积物粒度参数的变化越不显著。围垦堤附近海域是潮滩低能区,沉积物在此汇聚,造成潮滩剖面凸点的向岸迁移及双凸型剖面的塑造。另外,大型潮沟及其迁移也是影响剖面发育的重要因素。未来需结合海平面变化,研究围垦背景下的长周期潮滩演化趋势。     

淤泥质潮滩潮锋的形成机制及其作用

Seasonal variation of sedimentary processes in a semi-enclosed bay: Hampyong bay,Korea

Multi-annual sedimentological observations on tidal-flat sediments were carried out in Hampyong Bay, southeastern Yellow Sea, to infer the budget of modern muddy sediments in the bay. Sedimentation rates over a four-year period show contrasting types of seasonal sedimentary cycles occurring in the tidal flats within the elongated bay. Both sides of the bay are largely sheltered from winter waves, resulting in surface mud deposition during winter and erosion during summer. In contrast, tidal flats along the head of the bay are influenced by winter waves, resulting in a reversed trend where erosion occurs during winter and deposition during summer. Tidal flats near the bay-mouth, however, show a sedimentary cycle disrupted by the construction of sea walls undergoing consistent erosion throughout the observational period. The shoreline artificially straightened seems to cause tidal currents to bypass the tidal flat and hence to be much stronger. These differences in sedimentary cycles suggest the critical importance of the orientation of tidal flats relative to the propagating direction (from N–NW) of the monsoon winter-storm waves on the tidal-flat sedimentation in the eastern coastal area of the Yellow Sea. The preliminary budget estimation for the tidal-flat mud suggests that the tidal flats in Hampyong Bay are subject to the slight but consistent erosion as a whole.     

潮滩演变规律在围堤选线中的应用——以江苏辐射沙洲内缘区为例

滩涂围垦是沿海地区耕地占补平衡的重要手段。如何进行合理的围堤选线,尽可能减小围堤对潮滩水沙环境的影响,使匡围后的潮滩演变不影响海堤安全,是围海工程设计时必须考虑的问题。以江苏辐射沙洲内缘区仓东垦区匡围工程为例,运用潮滩均衡态概念框架,对条子泥西侧岸滩平均高潮位点变化、师地岛形成及潮沟活动性等潮滩演变特征及趋势进行了分析,并重点探讨了其在围堤选线中的应用。

江苏中部海岸潮沟形态对滩涂围垦的响应

根据2001-2013年江苏中部海岸的遥感影像和野外观测数据,对滩涂围垦影响下潮沟的形态演变过程进行分析。结果显示,研究区潮沟在大规模滩涂围垦影响下整体有明显的退化和消亡趋势,潮沟集水面积由2001年的293.94 km2逐渐降低到2013年的103.40 km2,潮沟长度随着其集水面积的缩减呈幂函数减小(R2=0.98),而潮沟宽度随着潮沟长度和集水面积的变小呈指数方式变窄(R2分别为0.87、0.93),总体上研究区每围垦1 km2滩涂,潮沟长度和宽度分别减小约2.60 km和0.67 m,在整个滩涂围垦过程中,落潮后期潮滩的主要排水方式逐渐由潮沟排水向滩面排水方式转变。江苏中部海岸潮沟形态在统计上具有多尺度分形结构,总体上研究区分纬值从大到小依次为潮沟分维值、各潮沟系统分维值、单支潮沟分维值。研究区潮沟的分维值(无标度区间25~210内)在滩涂围垦影响下呈波动性降低,由2001年的1.26逐渐降低到2013年的1.13,各潮沟系统的分维值随着其分汊个数减少呈线性降低(R2=0.89),各单支潮沟的分维值随着其蜿蜒性减小呈线性降低(R2=0.86)。根据潮沟的退化和消亡过程反推潮沟的起源和发育过程,本研究认为研究区最早出现的一类潮沟可能是陆源水流侵蚀型潮沟,而滩面水流冲刷型和潮流辐聚侵蚀型潮沟是随着潮滩淤积变宽过程逐渐发育的,其最初的发育形态可能是潮滩下部的冲刷凹地。     

Chenier plain development in northern Sierra Leone, West Africa

The coast of northern Sierra Leone, between the Scarcies and Mellacoree estuaries, forms a prograding muddy Holocene plain comprising two separate, as yet undated, clusters of sand cheniers. The general coastal morpho-stratigraphy and available data on regional climatic and sealevel history suggest that alternations between muddy progradation and chenier cluster formation have been controlled by a probable conjunction of several factors, including the local geomorphic framework, a climatically induced change in mud supply, and relative sealevel oscillations since the middle Holocene. The inner chenier cluster was apparently elaborated under conditions of efficient wave action over a deep, largely unfilled Mellacoree estuary and at a time of reduced mud availability. It peters out seaward, probably in response to several factors, including an increase in mud supply from the upland, a negative sealevel pulse resulting in higher rates of mud export from accreted inner tidal flats, increased muddy sedimentation over a shallower nearshore zone, and attenuated wave action as a result of energy capture by accreted estuarine shoals. The outer cluster, which partly fringes the coast, was formed in a mayor embayment representing the terminus of longshore sand drift. It is suggested that its formation may have been favoured by a higher sealevel resulting in efficient winnowing of sands from subtidal muds, a greater propensity for accretion of tidal flats landwards and, consequently, a lower mud supply to the foreshore.

Although the timing of muddy progradation and chenier formation has not been determined, the foregoing interpretation suggests a complex sequence of events, reflecting as much the influence of local morphodynamic factors as external factors.     

基于淤涨速率的潮滩围垦适宜性评价

潮滩既具有重要的生态服务功能,亦是潜在的土地资源。过去几十年来,中国沿海潮间带的开发以围垦为主要驱动力,表现为海岸线主体向海推进。随着围垦规模和速度加快加大,出现了一系列生态、环境及土地利用问题,因此对于围垦适宜性的研究具有现实意义。本文以浙江省为例,利用遥感技术首先获取了大陆海岸线阶段性变化特征。接着从地貌均衡的角度,依据潮滩垂向淤涨速率和垂直岸线的潮滩剖面形态估算适宜的潮滩围垦速率。最后,比较海岸线实际推进速率与估算所得的围垦适宜速率,进行围垦适宜性分级评价。研究表明,1985-2015年间,围垦活动是浙江省大陆海岸线向海推进的主要原因。从时间进程来看,1985-1995年浙江省大陆海岸线向海推进缓慢,受围垦活动影响较小;1995-2015年间围垦活动频繁,人工岸线比例增加较多。围垦适宜速率的估算显示,杭州湾南岸围垦1 km后所需恢复时间最短,围垦适宜速率为12.5～64.3 m/a,其次为象山港和台州湾,围垦适宜速率分别为2.0～38.3 m/a和6.0～22.2 m/a;三门湾和温州湾围垦后所需恢复时间最长,围垦适宜速率分别为1.2～18.5 m/a和1.7～3.8 m/a。基于潮滩淤涨速率的围垦适宜性评价表明,1985-2015年间,浙江省主要围垦区域中围垦速率过快的是三门湾的下洋涂、蛇蟠岛和温州湾岸段,围垦速率较快区域为杭州湾南岸庵东浅滩部分岸段和象山港的莼湖镇、涂茨镇岸段以及台州湾的南洋涂,围垦速率略快的是庵东浅滩以及台州湾的北洋涂,围垦速率适宜的岸段仅有象山港的高湖塘和蒲门村岸段。浙江省过去30年的围垦进程和岸线变化启示,围垦活动应充分考虑潮滩环境的地貌动力均衡和自然恢复潜力。     

互花米草对江苏潮滩沉积和地貌演化的影响

江苏潮滩面积大,岸滩冲淤动态变化复杂.人工引种互花米草对江苏海岸潮滩沉积地貌演化有较大影响,主要体现在影响潮滩沉积速率、物质分布及潮水沟地貌系统的发育等方面.根据定点站位不同年代的高程数据,分析Pethick-Allen模型在江苏潮滩盐沼的适用性;在现场采集柱状样并在室内进行137Cs分析,根据分析结果及前人研究结果,利用P-A模型分析计算江苏潮滩不同时期的沉积速率,结果表明互花米草的引种加快了潮滩沉积速率,它使潮滩沉积地貌演化脱离了原来的渐进函数关系.在选择的典型断面上采集表层底质样,在激光粒度仪上进行粒度分析,结果表明,互花米草易使细颗粒沉积物沉积,大米草滩和盐蒿滩表层沉积物主要来自潮水沟输送.根据野外调查并结合遥感分析,互花米草滩内潮水沟宽深比小,密度大,水道稳定,有别于光滩或大米草滩的潮水沟形态.

The occurrence of ‘epipsammic’ diatom populations: A result of interaction between physical sorting of sediment and certain properties of diatom species

The role of ‘sand’ (particles >55 μm) as a substratum for benthic diatoms was investigated, using sediments collected from tidal flats and main channels in the Ems estuary. On average, 13% of the sand grains were occupied by one or more diatom cells. It appeared that 80% of the diatom cells in this fraction were present in or on mud coating the sand grains. Of the sand grains in the water, 7% were occupied by diatom cells. The preference of benthic diatoms for the mud coatings rather than the bare parts of the sand grains stresses the importance of ‘mud’ (particles <55 μm) as a substratum for diatoms on the tidal flats. This was confirmed by separate cell counts for the mud and sand fractions.Of the sand grains with attached diatoms, the mean number of diatom cells per grain in the water was similar to that on the tidal flats. This indicates a large exchange of sand between tidal flats and channels. A similar exchange between tidal flats and possibly a shift in the species composition. These processes suggested by the striking similarities in cell number distribution and species composition in samples from these two habitats. However, on exposed tidal flats certain species were present in lower numbers than in the channels, indicating that loosely attached diatoms can be scoured off their substratum. Consequently, two factors are assumed to contribute to the dynamics of the species composition of benthic diatoms. The first is the adhesion capacity of diatoms and the second is sediment sorting by currents and waves. These factors cause a differential but significant flux of benthic diatoms to and from the channels, followed by changes over time in the diatom populations on the tidal flats and possibility a shift in the species composition. These processes show that the terms ‘epipelic’ and ‘epipsammic’ are not helpful to classify the main components of the diatom flora in this estuary.
