摘要

泥沙特征在海岸带生态系统的决定和功能中起着重要作用。本研究试图评价卡拉奇海岸克利夫顿、沙咀和布勒吉三个海滩沉积物特征的可变性。在季风前和西南季风季节采集样本,以评估季节差异。3个地点的沉积物在含水量、有机质和粒度上均存在差异。克利夫顿沉积物的平均含水量最高,为27.17%,有机质含量最高,为3.5%。在所有研究地点,沉积物的最大比例(> 80%)由细砂到极细砂组成。与沙嘴和布列集相比,克利夫顿沉积物的极细砂含量高,粗砂含量低。3个样点沉积物分选中等,呈负粗偏态,呈细峰状分布。聚类分析和主成分分析表明,Clifton、Sandspit和Buleji海滩的沉积物特征存在差异。在所有三个被研究的海滩上也观察到季风对沉积物特征的影响。西南季风季节强烈的波浪作用导致较粗的沉积物在高潮处沉积,从而增加了海滩的陡峭度。

Sediment Characterization and Monsoonal Impact on Beach Morphology at the Three Beaches along the Karachi Coast, Pakistan
Sediment characteristics plays important role in the determination and functioning of coastal ecosystems. The present study is an attempt to evaluate the variability in sediment characteristics of the three beaches: Clifton, Sandspit and Buleji, at the Karachi coast. The samples were collected during pre-monsoon and south-west monsoon seasons to evaluate the seasonal differences. The sediments of the three sites showed variations in moisture content, organic matter and grain size. The highest mean moisture (27.17%) and organic contents (3.5 %) were recorded from the sediments of Clifton. The maximum fraction of sediments (> 80 %) consist of fine to very fine sand at all studied sites. The sediments of Clifton were high in very fine sand fraction and low in coarse sand fraction as compared to Sandspit and Buleji. The sediments of all the three studied sites are moderately sorted, negatively coarse-skewed and showed leptokurtic distribution. The studied beaches of Clifton, Sandspit and Buleji shows dissimilarity in sediment characteristics as indicated through Cluster and PCA analysis. The monsoonal influence on sediment characteristics was also observed at all the three studied beaches. The strong wave action during SW monsoon season results in the deposition of the coarser sediments at the high tide level thus increasing the steepness of the beaches.
