With intense anthropogenic perturbations in the Changjiang (Yangtze) River basin, riverine loads and compositions of materials into Estuary have greatly changed, resulting dramatic deterioration adjacent sea environments. Based on a long-term data set material Estuary, changing trends associated impacted factors were presented. The results showed downward concentrations dissolved silicate (DSi) over past 50 years due to dam constructions River. However, nitrogen (DIN) inorganic phosphate...

While most large river-deltas in the world are facing risk of subsidence and erosion Anthropocene, it is suspected that Changjiang submerged delta (CSD) could be subjected to impacts world's largest dam, Three Gorges Dam (TGD). Here we firstly indicate CSD went through high accumulation (1958–1978); slight (1978–1997), (1997–2002); (2002–2009), despite 70% reduction sediment load from upstream since operation TGD 2003. Meanwhile, at depocenter delta, maintained a rate 10 cm/yr during...

In 2006, the Changjiang basin runoff reached its lowest level in last 50 years, and water Three Gorges Dam (TGD) was raised from 135 m to 156 m. Based on routine measurements at 10 field stations, flood season during years a situation here we describe as “no season” (NFFS). contrast, there no obvious change of mid‐lower reaches river (MLRCR) drought which correspondingly (NDDS)”. The extreme impounding TGD contributed NFFS. However, adjustment replenishment tributaries lakes resulted NDDS....

Abstract Despite comprising a small portion of the earth’s surface, lakes are vitally important for global ecosystem cycling. However, lake systems worldwide extremely fragile and many shrinking due to changing climate anthropogenic activities. Here, we show that Poyang Lake, largest freshwater in China, has experienced dramatic prolonged recession, which began late September 2003. We further demonstrate abnormally low levels appear during October, 28 days ahead normal initiation dry season,...

Abstract River flooding—the world's most significant natural hazard—is likely to increase under anthropogenic climate change. Most large rivers have been regulated by damming, but the extent which these impoundments can mitigate extreme flooding remains uncertain. Here catastrophic 2016 flood on Changjiang is first analyzed assess effects of both Changjiang's reservoir cascade and Three Gorges Dam (TGD), largest hydraulic engineering project downstream discharge water levels. We show that...

Abstract The magnitude of anthropogenic influence, especially dam regulation, on hydrological system is scientific and practical value for large river management. As the largest in world by far, Three Gorges Dam (TGD) expected to be a strong evidence impacts downstream regime. In this study, statistical methods are performed pre‐ post‐TGD daily data at Yichang, Hankou, Datong stations detect daily, monthly, yearly, spatial fluctuations hydrology along Yangtze River during period 2000–2013....

Reduced riverine sediment supply and sea-level rise (SLR) threaten land building ecosystem in deltas. However, the sediment-morphodynamic processes a channel-shoal complex are not well understood. Here, based on bathymetry Delft3D model, geomorphic changes suspended budgets South Passage, Nanhui Jiuduansha Shoal mega-Changjiang Delta were examined. Results reveal that with concentration (SSC) decreased by 75%, net deposition rate was reduced from 4.20 cm/yr 1979–1990 to 3.21 1990–2003,...

Abstract Instantaneous precipitation can often cause devastating disasters on the Earth's surface. Continuous increases in extreme around world have caused widespread concern, and it is necessary to study hourly over a large scale long time series. Using specific numbers of unique point data from 1980 2019, our research found that there are different spatial patterns regarding frequency intensity Mainland China, but clear pattern being weak west strong east China. Most events occurred June...
