چکیده انگلیسی
Mega-deltas are major sinks of river-borne sediments and important sources of terrigenous sediments for open shelves. Their evolution has far-reaching impacts on adjacent coastal waters, from the point of view of along-shelf morphodynamics and biogeochemistry. However, the complex budgeting patterns of input, storage, bypass, and final accumulation of sediment are still poorly understood. The Changjiang (Yangtze River) in China is among the world's largest river systems, not only in terms of water and sediment discharges but also the massive amount of sediment deposited in its subaqueous delta and distal muds. Here we discuss about the along-shelf sediment redistribution in the Changjiang Subaqueous Delta and Distal Muds (CSDDM) over the last century. For the purpose of understanding its spatial diversity in detail, we divided the study area into three spatially connected parts, namely the Changjiang subaqueous deltaic mud (CJM), the Zhejiang inner-shelf mud (ZJM), and the Fujian inner-shelf mud (FJM). The concept of sediment retention index helps understand the overall evolution of this mega-delta. Hydrological survey data from the peripheral rivers and short marine-sediment cores are used to evaluate the amount of sediment supplied to and deposited in the study area. The results show that over the last century, the rate of sediment supply to the CSDDM reached ~645â¯Mtâ¯yearâ1 on average (ranging between 535 and 725â¯Mtâ¯yearâ1), while the total sediment deposition in the CSDDM reached ~683â¯Mtâ¯yearâ1 on average (390-976â¯Mtâ¯yearâ1), with the ratio for the deposits in the CJM, ZJM and FJM being close to 3:5:2. As such, the input and output of sediment were generally in balance. The sediment retention indices are estimated to be 0.35, 0.86 and 1.00 for CJM, ZJM and FJM, respectively. This study contributes to our knowledge of marine sediment fluxes, facilitates a better understanding of the growth and development of mega-deltas under system regime shifts, and helps identify a sustainable development model for areas of high population density, heavy economic activity and rapid urbanization.
