Dredging and flow reduction in the Modaomen Estuary China have had a measurable impact on tidal propagation damping. This paper includes an assessment of impacts these human interventions through use new analytical hydraulic model procedure. The calculates damping as function bathymetry river discharge simple iterative procedure with explicit equations. results obtained are accurate allow both analysis historic development sensitivity to assess effect possible further dredging reduction....
Understanding the metal pollution can help governments and estuary management groups manage inputs. Here, we comprehensively analyzed behaviors of seven metals Cd, Zn, Cu, As, Pb, Cr, Hg in water responses these to hydrological connectivity Pearl River Estuary. The analyses were based on field measurements August-2016 January-2016 upper river mouth. We also assessed ecosystem health metals. Overall, this had an overall moderate level, with occasional severe perturbations. mean concentration...
Abstract Riverine sediments have played an important role in the morphological evolution of river channels and deltas. However, sediment regime many world's rivers has been altered context global changes. In this study, temporal changes Pearl River were examined at different time scales, that is, annual, seasonal, monthly using Mann–Kendall test. The results revealed precipitation variability was responsible for seasonal distribution patterns long‐term water discharge; however, dam operation...
Abstract. The mean water level in estuaries rises the landward direction due to a combination of density gradient, tidal asymmetry, and backwater effect. This phenomenon is more prominent under an increase fresh discharge, which strongly intensifies both asymmetry However, interactions between tide river flow their individual contributions rise along estuary are not yet completely understood. In this study, we adopt analytical approach describe wave propagation influence substantial where...
How phytoplankton responded spatiotemporally to the co-occurrence of multiple variables is central importance for ecosystem management. In this study, extensive investigations in Pearl River estuary (PRE), southern China, between 1974 and 2017 revealed a strong anthropogenic effect on environmental drivers dynamics (in terms chlorophyll a). The empirical cause-and-effect chain summarized as human activity → hydrology nutrient may constitute fundamental quantitative tools predicting effects...
Shoals and troughs are the fundamental geomorphological units of estuarine systems. However, their definition morphodynamic characteristics, influenced by complex dynamic environment, remain a critical challenge. This work introduces depth–area spatial function as quantitative criterion for shoals troughs, while simultaneously elucidating geodynamic implications. The Lingdingyang Bay (LDB) Pearl River Estuary serves case study. From 1901 to 2018, LDB consisted West Shoal, Middle East Shoal...
