Surface Sediment in the Nearby Shelf of the Yangtze River:Change and Causes

Abstract: The transportation to a sea of sediment with water founds the linkage mechanism of from "source" to "sink" and the response of surface sediment characteristics in the nearby shelf to factors of incoming sediment from the watershed. Take the response of the surface sediment in the offshore area of the Yangtze River to the characteristics of the incoming sediment from the watershed for example. Results showed that: ①for median grain size, it was large in the east and north while small in the west and south. Silt percentage decreased from northeast to southwest while silt and clay showed trends of increasing from northeast to southwest. And the ratio of clay percentage to silt percentage in the whole area was 0.12~0.83. ②compared to that in 2003~2006, sand percentage in 2008~2011 rose while silt and clay percentages showed trends of dropping, and surface sediment tended to be larger. ③The north part (north of 31°31') of the sand-silt boundary changed alternately during 2003~2007, shifted to the west during 2007~2010 while the south part (south of 31°31') shifted to the west for the whole period of 2003~2010. The shift of the boundary was mainly caused by the deposition of sandy sediment from sea area on argillaceous sediment, with diffusion deposition playing a secondary role. ④The argillaceous zone shrank after the impoundment of the Three Gorges and shifted slightly to the south, which was mainly influenced by the training works and natural factors.
