摘要：

The transport of suspended sediment in mangrove swamps is controlled by three dominant processes. First, the transport processes in the estuaries and coastal waters draining the swamp, including flocculation, tidal pumping, baroclinic circulation, trapping of the smallest particles in the turbidity maximum zone, and the effect of the mangrove tidal prism. Second, the mechanical and chemical reactions in mangrove waters destroying flocs of cohesive sediment in suspension. Third, biological processes have a dominant influence on the ultimate fate of clay particles in mangroves.
