简介:期刊海藻的花蕾从沉积导致磷(P)的免职和版本进水。因此,当海藻的粒子开始安定到底部时,在季节的变化期间,在沉积理解行为和P的分发特征是最重要的钥匙管理Saemangeum水库的水质量。在这研究,水质量和沉积作文包括叶绿素的变化--一(Chl--一)并且P被调查决定在水和沉积之间的相互作用。学习首先集中了于影响P版本和沉积的矿化作用的海藻的粒子沉积。Chl--水里的集中在10月看了锋利的衰落水藻什么时候开始在秋天死了,并且后来,化学的氧需求(货到付款)的集中和在沉积的全部的P(TP)在11月由于腐烂的海藻的粒子的沉积增加了。在时间的一样的时期期间,在沉积的容易地简历可得到的P(敲击)在在哪儿的上面的区域显示出激烈的增加Chl--水的集中高。在顺序,高敲击地区在早冬季从上面的区域变了到更低的区域。敲击移动被认为从分解水藻在沉积的表面上从安定的overlying水的物理流动被发源。Saemangeum水库最近被构造;因此,除了可溶的反应的磷(SRP)的无机的P部分的所有类型在湖和沼泽地沉积层的底部表面上存在不是足够的显著地影响overlying水。在另一方面,从水藻的释放P对季节的变化不同、敏感。在结论,海藻的粒子沉积是重要的在Seamangeum水库从沉积表面层的使矿物化的无机的P控制超营养作用而非P版本。

简介:训练策略的一条河的选择为更低的黄河(LYR)是极其重要的。当前,宽河的训练策略在训练LYR适用。然而,在在黄河盆的水文学过程的显著变化,以及从在黄河盆的社会经济的开发的立即的压力,使如果有可能性改变从到狭窄河的训练的宽河的训练训练策略的河,考虑必要。这研究调查通过数字模拟在LYR上训练策略的不同的河的影响。一一个维(1-D)模型被用来为未来模仿河的过程50年并且一三维(3-D)模型被使用学习典型洪水。学习集中了于河形态学,结果看那在两水分泌物的在场减少趋势和沉积负担是否坚持,在LYR的免职率将进一步减少不管什么策略被使用。特别,狭窄河的训练能达到目的与宽河的训练相比在LYR增加沉积运输能力。如果到来的水和沉积负担恢复到最后世纪的吝啬的水平,主要隧道收缩不管多么不可避免地由于沉积发生为宽河、狭窄河训练。最重要地,这研究证明狭窄河的训练在整个LYR上减少免职数量,但是它几乎不在减轻推迟的河的发展提供很少帮助。相反,狭窄河的训练能在河模式从高度漫步到蜿蜒地流变化的过渡活动范围引起沉积,进一步的变得更坏在那里的驼峰免职。因为关于在在可行工程的黄河盆,和缺乏的水文学过程的未来变化的无常,测量在LYR减轻推迟的河和驼峰免职问题,小心应该在为LYR训练策略的河里关于变化被行使。
