长江口细颗粒泥沙絮凝作用及其制约因素研究

A review on flocculation of fine suspended sediments and its controlling factors in the Yangtze River estuary

简要介绍了入海河口细颗粒泥沙的絮凝机理;以长江口细颗粒泥沙絮凝作用的研究为例,概述了影响河口细颗粒泥沙絮凝的若干因子;着重介绍了长江口水体生物地球化学过程对于细颗粒泥沙絮凝作用影响的研究进展。在此基础上,结合国内外相关研究的最新进展以及河口工程与环境中的泥沙问题,提出未来工作设想。

The behavior and fate of fine suspended sediments in estuaries of rivers flowing into sea have firm connections with development of underwater topographies and evolution of shoreline in the estuarine areas, which is crucial for sustainable social development in these areas. Studies on fine suspended sediments in estuaries have thus been attracting comprehensive attentions from coastal scientists and local governments globally. Based on published papers, mechanisms of flocculation are presented briefly for fine suspended sediments in estuaries of rivers flowing into sea. Controlling factors of flocculation are summarized, and impacts of biogeochemical processes on flocculation of fine suspended sediments are reviewed, taking the Yangtze River estuary as an example. Based on above summaries, some suggestions are made for studies in the future.
