Abstract

Abstract:

The Houtian sandy land is a typical aeolian land in subtropical humid areas， and the analysis of grain size characteristics of sediments in different geomorphological positions contribute to exploring distribution rules and influencing factors. The results show that sediments in the Houtian sandy land are mainly composed of medium and coarse sand， with an average particle size of 1.28 Ф， poor sorting， a coarse skewness and narrow kurtosis distribution. The overall performance is as follows： the farther away from the Ganjiang River， the content of finer particles is rising and coarse particles presented an opposite trend， meanwhile， the tendency of the average particle size decreases gradually. There are significant differences in the grain size characteristics of sediments in various geomorphological positions： the windward slope is affected by strong wind erosion， resulting in fewer fine particles and coarser average particle size， which sediments of surface layer were coarser than the depth of 20 cm； the leeward slope is deposited more fine particles due to wind vortex as well as the average particle size is finer， which sediments of surface layer are finer than the depth of 20 cm； the top of dunes and flat sandy land is not only eroded by wind， but affected by intense artificial activities， resulting in a significant differences in average particle size， most of sediments of surface layer are still coarser than the depth of 20 cm.

Key words: Houtian sandy land, sediments, geomorphological positions, grain size characteristics
