Massive land development reduces the plant-cover area and increases the impervious area of watershed, which induces downstream flooding. A detention pond stores runoff from watershed and releases the stored runoff slowly to reduce the flood threat in the downstream area. While the runoff hydrograph is irregular, several researches verify that the runoff hydrograph can be represented by simple geometrical-shaped (such as triangular or trapezoidal) hydrographs. This study collects and develops simplified detention volume design models. The study also develops a suitable hydrological condition and the calculation method of detention volume for various models. A real world case is used to demonstrate the calculation procedure used in the detention pond design. The case shows that the combination of triangular inflow and triangular outflow produces a maximum detention volume, which implies a large reduction of peak flow needs greater detention volume. The combination of trapezoidal inflow and triangular outflow produces a second large detention volume. It implies a long duration of inflow hydrograph (IH) needs greater detention volume. A combination of triangular inflow and trapezoidal outflow results in a minimum detention volume, which indicates that either the storm water drains completely before the permissible outflow occurs, or storm water is kept from entering the detention pond before the inflow rate reaches the permissible outflow. In either case, the detention pond has more space to accommodate the flood inflow so as to reduce the rate of peak outflow.  相似文献

1. Riparian vegetation in dry regions is influenced by low‐flow and high‐flow components of the surface and groundwater flow regimes. The duration of no‐flow periods in the surface stream controls vegetation structure along the low‐flow channel, while depth, magnitude and rate of groundwater decline influence phreatophytic vegetation in the floodplain. Flood flows influence vegetation along channels and floodplains by increasing water availability and by creating ecosystem disturbance. 2. On reference rivers in Arizona's Sonoran Desert region, the combination of perennial stream flows, shallow groundwater in the riparian (stream) aquifer, and frequent flooding results in high plant species diversity and landscape heterogeneity and an abundance of pioneer wetland plant species in the floodplain. Vegetation changes on hydrologically altered river reaches are varied, given the great extent of flow regime changes ranging from stream and aquifer dewatering on reaches affected by stream diversion and groundwater pumping to altered timing, frequency, and magnitude of flood flows on reaches downstream of flow‐regulating dams. 3. As stream flows become more intermittent, diversity and cover of herbaceous species along the low‐flow channel decline. As groundwater deepens, diversity of riparian plant species (particularly perennial species) and landscape patches are reduced and species composition in the floodplain shifts from wetland pioneer trees (Populus, Salix) to more drought‐tolerant shrub species including Tamarix (introduced) and Bebbia. 4. On impounded rivers, changes in flood timing can simplify landscape patch structure and shift species composition from mixed forests composed of Populus and Salix, which have narrow regeneration windows, to the more reproductively opportunistic Tamarix. If flows are not diverted, suppression of flooding can result in increased density of riparian vegetation, leading in some cases to very high abundance of Tamarix patches. Coarsening of sediments in river reaches below dams, associated with sediment retention in reservoirs, contributes to reduced cover and richness of herbaceous vegetation by reducing water and nutrient‐holding capacity of soils. 5. These changes have implications for river restoration. They suggest that patch diversity, riparian plant species diversity, and abundance of flood‐dependent wetland tree species such as Populus and Salix can be increased by restoring fluvial dynamics on flood‐suppressed rivers and by increasing water availability in rivers subject to water diversion or withdrawal. On impounded rivers, restoration of plant species diversity also may hinge on restoration of sediment transport. 6. Determining the causes of vegetation change is critical for determining riparian restoration strategies. Of the many riparian restoration efforts underway in south‐western United States, some focus on re‐establishing hydrogeomorphic processes by restoring appropriate flows of surface water, groundwater and sediment, while many others focus on manipulating vegetation structure by planting trees (e.g. Populus) or removing trees (e.g. Tamarix). The latter approaches, in and of themselves, may not yield desired restoration outcomes if the tree species are indicators, rather than prime causes, of underlying changes in the physical environment.  相似文献

The vegetation and physical and chemical characteristics of the water and sediment in ten temporary pools submitted to various anthropogenic disturbance were studied in Morocco over two hydrological cycles (1997-1998 and 1998-1999). Results of multivariate and parametric analyses show that disturbance has a significant impact on water and sediment. Agriculture in the catchment resulted in higher levels of N and the use of detergent to higher levels of phosphorus in both water and sediment. Mineral extraction resulted in higher depth and longer duration of flooding. Vegetation characteristics were better correlated to hydrology (water depth, duration of flooding) than to nutrient variables. These results suggest that although agriculture in the catchment contribute in modifying the sediment characteristics, the impact on vegetation and its conservation value is limited. However, care should be taken of the long-term effects of agriculture through cumulative effects and of the possible consequences of changing the agricultural practices.  相似文献

Abstract Riparian environments are subject to the scouring and depositional effects of floods. Riparian vegetation and substrates are scoured during high flows, while litter and sediment is deposited downstream. In the Prosser and Little Swanport River catchments in south‐east Tasmania, vascular plant species were surveyed in large riparian relevés. Within these relevés, 1 × 1 m subplots were placed in both flood‐scoured and depositional environments. Species composition was compared between these three datasets, to investigate the importance of floods in determining species richness and species composition of riparian vegetation. Species richness and diversity were highest in areas experiencing flood scour. Herbs appear particularly reliant on the creation of gaps for colonization, and some major riparian shrub species may also require disturbance to maintain their abundance. The depositional environment tended to favour shrubs and graminoids. Given that differences in species composition are related to flood‐induced features of the riparian environment, the regulation of these rivers might reduce the diversity of the riparian vegetation downstream of dams.  相似文献

In order to reduce flood risk, river management policies advise floodplain restoration and the recreation of water retention areas. These measures may also offer opportunities for the restoration of species-rich floodplain habitats through rewetting and the restoration of flood dynamics. The potential to enhance biodiversity in such flood restoration areas is, however, still subject to debate. In this paper we investigate whether flooding along a small altered lowland river can contribute to the potential and realised species richness of semi-natural meadows. We compare the seed bank and vegetation composition of flooded and non-flooded semi-natural meadows and test the hypothesis that flooding contributes to an input of diaspores into the meadow seed banks, thereby promoting seed density and potential species richness. Furthermore we hypothesise that, where habitat conditions are suitable, flooding leads to a higher realised species richness. Results showed that seed densities in flooded meadows were significantly higher than in non-flooded meadows. The seed banks of flooded meadows also contained a higher proportion of exclusively hydrochorous species. However, the seed bank species richness, as well as the species richness realised in the vegetation did not differ significantly between flooded and non-flooded meadows. Finally, the seed bank and standing vegetation of flooded sites showed larger differences in species composition and Ellenberg nitrogen distribution than non-flooded sites. From these results we conclude that, although flooding does contribute to the density and composition of the seed bank, most imported seeds belong to only a few species. Therefore, it is unlikely that flooding substantially enhances the potential species richness. Furthermore, even if new species are imported as seeds into the seed bank, it seems unlikely that they would be able to establish in the standing vegetation. However, it is unclear which factors impede the establishment of imported species in the vegetation. The implications of our findings for flood meadow restoration are discussed.  相似文献

Water and suspended sediment (SS) samples were collected from the Changjiang River at the Datong Hydrological Station (DHS), five times from May 1997 through January 1999 in order to evaluate transport, composition and bioavailability of phosphorus (P) during a 1998 flood. Transport of most of the phosphorus compositions was substantially higher during the 1998 flood than at other sampling dates. Phosphorus associated with suspended sediment (TPP) accounted for more than 85% of total phosphorus (TP) transport during periods of preflood and flood. The high transport of TPP during the flood was due to unusually high concentrations of TPP and sediment discharge. The potentially bioavailable phosphorus in SS (PBAP) accounted for about 10% of TPP. PBAP with dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) consisted of 15–89% of TP. For all the sampling dates, the concentrations of potential bioavailable phosphorus (BAP) ranged from 0.035–0.08 mg L–1, significantly higher than the limiting concentration for eutrophication. Therefore, the increasing temporal trends of TP concentration and high bioavailability of TP appear to support more frequent algal blooms in receiving East China Sea coastal waters in recent years. Hence, the underestimate of TPP transport by large rivers may also underestimate the biogeochemical cycling of other associated nutrients, such as nitrogen and carbon.  相似文献

Sediment‐rich rivers seasonally flood central Amazonian várzea forests, leading to periodic anoxic conditions in the rhizosphere and requiring morphological and structural adaptations, such as aboveground root systems. We investigated some possible relationships between root types and environmental factors in forest plots covering 3.1 ha of várzea in the Mamirauá Sustainable Development Reserve, Brazil. Digital elevation models of the study sites were obtained; sedimentation and soil texture were investigated to check relationship between position of trees on the flood gradient, soil conditions, and aboveground root systems. Different types of aboveground roots were closely related to flooding duration and habitat dynamics. Species subjected to higher and more prolonged floods tended to produce more aboveground roots than species subjected to lower and shorter inundations. Plank‐buttressing species increased with decreasing flood height and/or flood duration, and with increasing growth height and basal area. Habitats inundated for long periods were dominated by species with low growth heights and low basal areas, which formed stilt roots and aerial roots. Root system and sediment deposition showed a close relationship, plank buttressing being more common in sites subjected to lower sediment rates. In the disturbed sites close to the main river channel colonized by pioneer species, the occurrence of buttresses was lower than in less disturbed climax stages. No clear relationship was found between root systems and sediment grain sizes.  相似文献

The interrelation among size, biomass, and sprouting of alder trees was studied to extract the most important hydrochemistrical factors controlling the growth of alder forest in Kushiro Mire, northern Japan. The gradient was mostly explained by chemical variables such as pH, ash content, and P2O5, which showed strong positive correlation with each other, and secondarily by fluctuation of the water table (WL, i.e., water level range). These variables are more important than other hydrochemical ones, because neutral and turbid flood water replaces acidic mire water and conveys fine sediment with adsorbed phosphorus, which in turn could regulate the pH and amount of phosphorus. Also, the number of sprouts showed negative correlation mainly with tree size and redox potential (Eh), which suggested a flooded environment. Because of this, the size of alder was suppressed by hydrochemical variables; however, alder individuals producing new sprouts were maintained. We conclude that variation in size, biomass, and sprouting of alder was mainly controlled by acidity and phosphorus availability, and was significantly influenced by water fluctuation.  相似文献

热带亚热带水库浮游植物叶绿素a与磷分布的特征   总被引:25,自引:0,他引:25  
于丰水期和枯水期对广东省19个大中型水库的浮游植物叶绿素a和磷(P)进行采样和测定,分析了P和叶绿素a的分布特征及其相关性。结果表明P的浓度和叶绿素a含量较低的有流溪河、新丰江、公平和白盆珠水库;而枯、丰两期P的浓度和叶绿素a含量均较高的有契爷石、石岩、鹤地和大镜山水库;其余12个水库均属于季节性差异较明显的水库,在丰水期由入流带来较多的P,而枯水期则因入流相对较少,P的含量也较低。大部分水库在枯水期P限制现象比较严重,而丰水期则有所缓解。P限制程度的不同导致了丰水期和枯水期水库浮游植物种群组成和叶绿素含量的变化。丰水期的优势种类P半饱和浓度较高,在枯水期这些种类不再是优势种的组成部分。而一些P半饱和浓度较低的种类,在丰水期和枯水期都成为各个水库的优势种。通过相关性分析,正磷酸盐(PO43--P)与叶绿素的相关系数较高,总磷(TP)与叶绿素的相关系数则相对较低。从时间上来看,枯水期PO43--P与叶绿素的相关性高于丰水期;从空间上看,大坝处PO43--P与叶绿素的相关性高于入水口。  相似文献

A sediment core from the lower Mulgrave River flood plain in north-east Queensland was examined using standard pollen analysis techniques to investigate vegetation and sea level changes during and since the Holocene marine transgression. Saltwater penetrated the Mulgrave River to the core site in the early Holocene, with the consequent development of riverside mangrove forests dominated by Sonneratia lanceolata, a community not previously recorded in Australian pollen sequences. From about 7000 to 6000 years ago, Rhizophora forest was the dominant vegetation community around the site. During this period, vertical sedimentation kept pace with, or at times exceeded, the rate of sea level rise. As sea level stabilized, about 6000 years ago, continued sediment accumulation led to the development of upper-intertidal Ceriops/Bruguiera forest and then freshwater swamp forest. The vegetation changes in this latter part of the sequence reflect the present seaward to landward vegetation zonation in the area.  相似文献

Ecological management of aquatic plants: effects in lowland streams   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Recently, a significant increase in macrophyte growth has been observed in many lowland rivers in Flanders, mainly due to eutrophication and an improvement of the water quality. This growth strongly influences the channel roughness (Manning-n). The first purpose of the project was a better understanding of the complex relationship between biomass development and discharge capacity in lowland rivers. In order to avoid the backing up of water upstream, the whole vegetation body is usually mowed annually. This project also investigated a lighter ecological management of aquatic plants in which only a part of the vegetation is removed in separate and alternating blocks, seeking a compromise between sufficient discharge and conserving large parts of the macrophyte vegetation with all its functions. Beside laboratory experiments, field survey was undertaken in the Grote Caliebeek, a tributary of the Kleine Nete in Flanders, Belgium. The results indicated that the presence of macrophytes in lowland rivers slowed down the waterflow and resulted in a raised water level. The upstream water level followed biomass development at a certain discharge level. The mowing experiments and the field survey indicated that alternating weed cutting patterns can reduce fall in an effective way. This research emphasizes the possibilities of alternating weed cutting patterns in order to deal with water flow problems. In the long term there will be the need for a better understanding of the ecological relationships in the search for a sustainable integrated method of controlling aquatic vegetation.  相似文献

1. The landscapes of large floodplain rivers are characterised by heterogeneous environments related to the interplay of flood flows, sediment transport and vegetation dynamics.
2. The large rivers of Europe, and probably most rivers throughout the forest biomes, were characterised by islands but over the period of major human interference, many have become dominated by incision and narrowing so that they are now characterised by single-thread and relatively simple channel forms.
3. Vegetation plays an active role in developing heterogeneous channel forms through (a) biotic processes such as seed dispersal, vegetative regeneration and succession and (b) abiotic effects such as increasing flow resistance inducing sedimentation, and decreasing bank erodibility.
4. In particular, accumulations of living driftwood (cf. dead driftwood accumulations and dispersed seedlings) accelerate sedimentation and island development.
5. River reaches with vegetated islands have a high habitat diversity.
6. The natural influences of flood disturbance, wood accumulation, vegetation growth, island development and tree die-off, cause island-dominated reaches to undergo cycles of island growth and decay that are related to cycles of aquatic habitat diversification and simplification.  相似文献

Distribution of pure Elodea nuttallii vegetation was surveyed from 1999 to 2002, immediately after the most recent expansion of the species in Lake Kizaki, Japan. During 2001 and 2002, areas of E. nuttallii vegetation rapidly diminished and the summer plant height decreased wherever the vegetation remained. The organic matter content, total phosphorus, and extracted P of the sediment from the vegetation bed were measured. A linear relationship was observed between the extracted P in the sediment and the biomass. The extracted P significantly decreased in the shallow littoral vegetation bed, where the biomass clearly diminished. A fertilization experiment using the shallow littoral sediment collected in the vegetation bed was conducted in 2001. In this experiment, apical shoots of E. nuttallii were planted in pots with fertilized sediment (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium additions). The growth of E. nuttallii shoots was significantly enhanced by enrichment with phosphorus alone. The ecological implication of sediment phosphorus limitation is discussed in relation to the cause of decline in the E. nuttallii population in Lake Kizaki.  相似文献

Summary Large overbank flood events play an important role in maintaining large‐scale ecological processes and connectivity along and across the floodplains and between the rivers and their floodplains in the southern Murray‐Darling Basin. However, the regulation of rivers means that extensive overbank flooding can only occur in the rare circumstance of extreme flood events. Recent environmental water allocations have focussed on the largest floodplain blocks (‘icon’ sites) and a small set of specific values (e.g. colonial nesting waterbirds), as well as on trialling fine‐scale manipulation of infrastructure (e.g. pumping) to water relatively small areas. There has been no comprehensive systematic assessment of the entire floodplain and its wider set of flood‐dependent natural assets (such as ecosystems and species; herein referred to as ‘natural values’) to maximise the effectiveness of environmental water use and to catalogue values likely to be lost. This paper describes an assessment of some 220 000 ha found to support flood‐dependent natural values in Victoria. We mapped the geographic distribution and estimated components of the flooding requirements (natural flooding frequency, and maximum period without flooding and minimum duration of each flooding event before significant deterioration) for each natural value. Using an example of one stretch of the River Murray, we show how the resultant spatial data can be used with floodplain inundation modelling to compare the outcomes of real or planned environmental watering events; potentially providing tools for management agencies to conserve a wider range of floodplain values than is currently the case. That is, water managers and the public can see what ecosystems and threatened species are intended to be maintained by environmental watering and what values are intended to be abandoned across the whole floodplain, rather than just seeing the small subset of values and ‘icon’ sites that are intended to be maintained. Examples are provided to illustrate how information about the location, water requirements and extent covered by potential floods for specific values can be used to build adaptive watering strategies for areas as large as the whole floodplain.  相似文献

1. Effects of the frequency and duration of flooding on the structural and functional characteristics of riparian vegetation were studied at four sites (n = 80, 50 × 50 cm, plots) along medium‐sized naturally meandering lowland streams. Special focus was on rich fens, which – due to their high species richness – are of high priority in nature conservation. 2. Reed beds, rich fens and meadows were all regularly flooded during the 20‐year study period, with a higher frequency in reed bed areas than in rich fen and meadow areas. In rich fens, species richness was higher in low frequency flooded areas (≤3 year?1) than in areas with a high frequency of flooding (>3 year?1) or no flooding, whereas species richness in reed beds and meadows was unaffected by flood frequency. 3. The percentage of stress‐tolerant species was higher in low intensity flooded rich fen areas than in high intensity and non‐flooded areas, indicating that the higher species richness in low frequency flooded rich fens was caused by competitive release. We found no indication that increased productivity was associated with high flooding frequencies. 4. We conclude that the restoration of morphological features in stream channels to increase the flooding regime can be beneficial for protected vegetation within riparian areas, but also that groundwater discharge thresholds and critical levels for protected vegetation should be identified and considered when introducing stream ecosystem restoration plans.  相似文献

This study was designed to quantify and model the effects of macrophytes on phosphorus retention in a lowland river. The seasonal course of phosphorus retention was calculated from the measured difference in TP between beginning and end of a 30-km river course and the estimated lateral P input. The coverage of submersed macrophytes was mapped and coincided with the difference between theoretical water level (without vegetation) and the observed one. Therefore, the increase in water level was used as measure of the macrophytes’ abundance. In years with rare vegetation (1991–1994), P was retained in winter and remobilized in summer. In years with dense stands of macrophytes (1995–2002), net P retention was highest in summer and amounted up to 20% of TP load, and was negative during winter. The annual P budget was close to zero in both periods. The found sinusoidal annual pattern of total phosphorus retention was used to create a retention model for vegetated lowland rivers.  相似文献

Cores of overbank deposits were collected from locations along the Rivers Swale and Aire in Yorkshire, U.K. The middle and lower reaches of the River Aire drain heavily industrialized and urbanized areas, whereas the River Swale drains a predominantly rural catchment, although Pb and Zn mining in the headwater areas in the 19th century introduced contaminated sediment. Downcore changes in the heavy and trace metal (Al, Cr, Cu, K, Pb, Sr and Zn) and phosphorus (P) content of the floodplain sediment were used to provide evidence of temporal changes in the contaminant content of the fine-grained sediment transported by the study rivers over the last ca. 100 years. The core collected from the downstream site on the River Aire shows upcore increases in P content, which reflects the expansion of the urban area during this period. Variations in the metal content of the deposited sediment over the period represented by the core reflect changes in the extent and type of industrial activity in the catchment. For the cores from the River Swale, there are no major upcore changes in the P content of the sediment, but there was a period characterized by increased levels of Pb and Zn which can be linked to metal mining activities.  相似文献

为探讨东南亚沿海与内陆地区植被对洪水事件的响应差异,基于东南亚2000-2018年MODIS卫星遥感数据和洪水数据,通过比较东南亚洪水发生区域,共确定自2000年来影响最大、破坏程度相近的2个沿海洪水事件、2个内陆洪水事件以及1个沿海内陆洪水事件。以Google Earth Engine为数据处理平台,利用Sen+Mann-Kendall趋势法分析了2000-2018年研究区NDVI变化,发现5个研究区19年间NDVI均呈现出上升趋势,平均增速为0.013/10a,沿海与内陆植被在时空演变格局上无明显差异;基于灾害植被破坏指数的分析发现,内陆与沿海植被在洪水影响下的植被破坏指数分别为0.29与-0.25,植被破坏面积分别占比为14.29%与18.11%,内陆植被破坏程度小于沿海地区。同时,排除人类干扰强烈的耕地与人造地表,沿海研究区植被生态系统对洪水事件的抵抗力指数为88.15,明显强于内陆地区的28.89。草地表现出最强的抵抗力,其次为林地;而在植被恢复力方面,表现出相反的趋势。人类活动影响降低了内陆地区洪水灾害对植被的破坏。研究东南亚沿海与内陆植被对单次洪水事件的差异响应,排除内陆与沿海地区洪水事件累计影响,能够为东南亚沿海与内陆植被抵抗洪水灾害提出有针对性的建议。  相似文献
