| Abstract |
Sediment dynamics have an important influence on the morphological evolution of tidal wetlands, which consist of mudflats and salt marshes. To understand the nature of sediment behavior under combined current–wave action at an exposed tidal wetland, we measured the waves, currents, water depths, bed-level changes, and sediment properties at a mudflat–salt marsh transition on the Yangtze Delta, China, during five consecutive tides under onshore winds of ~ 8 m/s, and calculated the bed shear stresses due to currents (tc), waves (tw), combined current–wave action (tcw), and the critical shear stress for erosion of the bottom sediment (tce). The bed shear stresses under combined current–wave action (tcw) were approximately five times higher on the mudflat (up to 1.11 N/m2; average 0.27 N/m2) than on the salt marsh (up to 0.14 N/m2; average, 0.06 N/m2). On the mudflat, tcw was larger than the critical erosion shear stress (tce = 0.103 N/m2) for 70% of the period of submergence, whereas tcw was always lower than tce at the salt marsh site (tce = 0.116 N/m2). This result indicates that the sediment dynamics on the mudflat were dominated by erosion, whereas at the salt marsh they were governed by deposition, which is in agreement with the observed bed-level change during the study period (- 3.3 mm/tide on the mudflat and 3.0 mm/tide on the salt marsh). A comparison of tcw values calculated using the and models for bed shear stresses under combined current–wave action indicates that both models are applicable to the present case and effectively predict the bottom shear stress under combined current–wave action. Overall, we conclude that tcw in combination with tce is useful in assessing the hydrodynamic mechanisms that underlie the morphological evolution of exposed tidal wetlands |
