滨海湿地监测——以美国密西西比河三角洲湿地为例
COASTAL WETLAND MONITORING IN MISSISSIPPI RIVER DELTA
-
摘要: 一个完整的三角洲滨海湿地系统,其上游有作为淡水补给的地表河流,下游有与之相联系的海水,中间则是由低海拔湿地区和地表水系所组成,在季节性的河水水位和海洋之间的咸淡水界面一定有水位和盐度梯度动态变化,在湿地动态监测过程中要关注水位和盐度梯度变化及水动力学规律。Abstract: As a deltaic wetland system, there is freshwater (river) at one end and seawater at the other end (ocean). Between the two ends, it is the wetland with low elevation. A dynamic salinity gradient exists between the two end points. And water level gradients depend upon the interactions of river level and sea level. The water monitoring in a wetland should satisfy the requirement for understanding the dynamic changes in salinity and water level gradients between the two points.
