Effects of Shear Stress and Salinity Stratification on Floc Size Distribution During the Dry Season in the Modaomen Estuary of the Pearl River
The floc size distribution of fine cohesive sediments in estuaries varies spatiotemporally within assorted physical, chemical, and biological factors.However, the distribution of different floc fractions that are affected by shear stress and salinity stratification has not yet been thoroughly investigated.This study intends to clarify the floc size
