Abstract Biogeochemical and trophodynamic processes as well as hydrodynamic factors play a major role in the structure and function of mangrove ecosystems. This study outlines field experiments on wave motion and suspended sediment concentration carried out at Nang Hai, Can Gio mangrove forest, Southern Vietnam. Pressure sensors were used to measure sea surface elevation, and Optical Backscatter Sensors (OBS) were applied to detect infrared(ir) radiation scattered from suspended particles in order to measure turbidity and suspended sediment concentrations. The experimental results indicate that most of the energy is dissipated inside the mangrove forest as a result of wave-trunk interactions and wave breaking. The suspended sediment concentration depends on wave intensity and tidal current velocity. Wave action is one of the main factors forcing sediment transport and coastalerosionatthestudysite;eventhewavefieldatthestudysiteisnotso strong. The establishment of mangrove vegetation can encourage the deposition of sediment, or at least the retention of the flood-tide sediment influx. The complete text of the paper is available at

Coveringabout181km 2 ofthecoastalareasinthetropics,mangroves are considered highly productive yet vulnerable to the impacts of nature and human beings. Mangroves have a beneficial effect on the surrounding environment in that they are an important food supply for humans, protect the land from erosion, facilitate alluvium deposition, and mitigate the effects of typhoons and floods. Mangroves are also important as breeding and nursery grounds for prawns, fish and other marine and terrestrial organisms. In addition, they are a source of timber for firewood, construction, etc. (Snedaker& Snedaker 1984, Tuan et al. 22). Biogeochemical and trophodynamic processes in mangrove forests, and the structure of such forests and their growth are intimately linked to water movements due to tides and waves(massel et al. 1999). Numerous studies of the physical processes within mangrove forests have been made in the past. They have generally focused on riverine-type mangrove forests and tidally periodic processes(wolanski et al. 1992, Furukawa& Wolanski 1996, Furukawa et al. 1997). However, studies of wave processes within the mangrove forests themselves are few. The significant attenuation of surface waves over relatively short distances was studied by Mazda et al.(1997a) and Massel et al.(1999), and a few experimental studies in mangrove forests have been conducted. In particular, field measurements were undertaken on the muddycoast of Thai Binh province, in the Tong King Delta, Vietnam(Mazdaetal.1997a).Itwasfoundthattherateofwavereduction varieswithwaterdepthandtheageofthetrees. Waveattenuationwas greater where the trees were older. Moreover, the efficiency of mangroves in protecting the coast from wave-induced erosion depends on the mangrove species(mazda et al. 1997b). However, these authors did not describe the mechanism of wave energy dissipation. These problems have recently been addressed by Massel et al.(1999), who developed a theoretical model for predicting the attenuation of wind-induced random surface waves in a mangrove forest of constant depth. Examples of numerical calculations as well as preliminary experimental results of wave attenuation through mangrove forests at Townsville(Australia) and Iriomote Island(Japan) were given. Both theoretical analysis and field experiments indicated that for shallow water depths, the combination of bottom friction with the effects of drag caused by mangrove roots and trunks produces a significant amount of attenuation over a relatively short distance. This paper reports on the field experiments on wave motion and wave-induced suspended sediments recently carried out in the Can Gio
3 Experiments on wave motion and suspended sediment concentration mangrove forest, Southern Vietnam. The field observations provide data on wave parameters and suspended sediment concentration, as well as on bottom current velocity, topography and mangrove characteristics. The measurements and data analysis make it clear that wave motion is one of the main factors driving sediment transport and accumulation/erosion processes in the mangrove environment. 2.

5 Experiments on wave motion and suspended sediment concentration Data collection and methods Instrument layout To determine the surface wave propagation within the mangrove forest and the induced sediment transport, wave instruments and the instruments measuring suspended sediment concentrations(ssc) were deployed along atransectfromtheedgeofthemangrovesforadistanceofabout8m into the forest(fig. 1c). All the instruments were cleaned daily to prevent errors due to mud adhering to the sensors. Additionally, other factors such as bottom current velocity, grain size distribution, bottom topography, and the characteristics of the mangrove trees(circumferences of trunks and roots, density of the forest) were determined Wave measurement Pressure sensors were used to measure sea surface elevation, and time serieswereanalyzedoverperiodsfrom2to3minuteswithasampling frequencyof2 5Hz.Pressuresensorsweremountedunderwateratafixed position to measure the variations in the height of the water column passing above them.

Fig. 1c shows the instrumentation layout on 3 January Measurement of suspended sediment concentration(ssc) As Optical Backscattering Sensors(OBS) are able to detect infrared (IR) radiation scattered from suspended particles, they are used to measure turbidity and suspended sediment concentrations. In this experiment, two OBS were installed in the mangrove forest(fig. 1c): an OBS-3A(D&A Co.) with.5-second sampling intervals 2 m from the mangrove edge

Both sensors were calibrated in the standard laboratory way usingsedimentssampledatthestudysite(riddetal. 21).TwoMK (General Oceanics Inc.) current meters were positioned adjacent to the OBS sensors to measure the current velocities every half-hour. At 5 stations along the transect sediment samples were taken to analyze the grain size distribution(fig. 2). Soft and silty sediments with a size distributionfromveryfinesandtofineclayarecommonatthenanghai site. Bottom sediments contain between 2% and 52% of very fine silt andclay(<5 µm).underhighshearstress,siltsandclayswillremain in suspension and will tend not to be transported as bedload. Therefore, measurement of the suspended sediment concentration(ssc) is required to calculate the induced sediment transport in mangroves(rijn 1989, Mehta &Li23). 6 5 class weight [%] ST1 [%] ST2 [%] ST3 [%] ST4 [%] ST5 [%] < grain size [mm] Fig.2.GrainsizedistributionattheNangHaisite 3.

7 Experiments on wave motion and suspended sediment concentration or low frequency components with a wavelength longer than the recorded length, had to be removed. Moreover, as this study concentrated on the highest-energy part of the spectrum, high-frequency components with negligible energy had first to be filtered out(bendat& Piersol 1986, Hughes 1993, Massel 1996). Time domain statistics were extracted from the time series records, and individual waves were determined by zero-downcrossing.

Therefore, wave height data for a water depth of2.5mweresparse:only4dataserieswerecollectedatwaterdepth h ST1 =2.5m,but1dataseriesfor h ST1 =2.1mand11for h ST1 =1.9m. Ingeneral,thewaveheight H ST1 atst1wasabout.35.4m.thewave height decreased very quickly over relatively small distances, especially in shallower waters. About 5% 7% of the wave energy was dissipated within only2minthemangroveforestwhenthewateratst1was1.9mor 2.1mdeep,whilethewaveheightfellbyabout5%overadistanceof4m whenthewaterwas2.5mdeep.afterthisabruptfall,waveheightthen continued to decrease only slightly. Theoretical models indicate that wave breaking and interactions between the waves and the mangrove vegetation are the dominant mechanisms of energy dissipation as waves propagate into the mangroves. After most of the waves have broken, the further slight decrease in wave height is due mainly to wave-trunk interaction(hong Phuoc in preparation). The wave heights at particular stations are random variables that follow certain probability laws. As the water depth strongly influenced the wave motion, Glukhovskiy s distribution for wave height for a finite water depth was applied(massel 1996). Fig. 4 illustrates a comparison of experimental data with the Glukhovskiy distribution for wave records at the edge of the mangroves(fig.4a)and2mfromthemangroveedge(fig.4b).ingeneral, the distribution of wave heights does follow a Glukhovskiy distribution. If the water depth decreases, the distribution becomes narrow and more symmetrical, because high waves disappear as a result of wave breaking, and

Moreover, the most probable wave height shifts towards lower values. The wave spectrum presents the distribution of wave energy as a function of frequency. The Blackman-Turkey method was used to estimate frequency spectra.fig.5givesthespectralenergydensityatst1andst3(4m inside the mangroves).

As a wave propagates into the mangrove forest over shallower depths, most of the wave energy will dissipate not only because of trunk-wave interaction but also because of depth-controlled wave breaking. Fig. 8 shows the suspended sediment concentration measured in January 25 during the highspringtide. Forahighwaterlevel,say h max at ST2 =1.1m,when thewavewashighenough(h max.6m),thetidalregimewasmainly responsible for the changes in SSC. Concentration is higher during the ebb andtheflow,anddecreaseswhenthetidecrestappears(fig.8a).the influence of wave motion is demonstrated by the high amplitude of SSC fluctuations and the sudden increase when the water level is lower(fig. 8b). This means that wave action strongly influences SSCs in shallower waters, where waves break and enhance sediment suspension. A mangrove forest can be considered an effective buffer zone against erosion processes. This can be demonstrated by comparing SSC values at two different points(stations ST2 and ST3) in the mangrove forest(fig. 9).

Therefore, river flows, rainfalls, tidal currents and wave action are the main factors forcing the movement of suspended sediments. Field measurements carried out at the Nang Hai site indicate that most of the energy dissipated within the mangrove forest is due mainly to wave-trunk interactions and wave breaking. Suspended sediment concentrations depend on the wave intensity and tidal current velocity. The results show that wave action is one of the main factors inducing sediment transportanderosionprocessesatnanghai;eventhewavefieldinthedong Tranh estuary is not so strong. Furthermore, the results also demonstrate that mangrove vegetation can encourage the deposition of sediment, or at least the retention of the flood-tide sediment influx. A comparison of the theoretical model with the experimental data as well as the determination of wave and tide-induced sediment transport in the mangrove forest will be presented in a separate paper, which is in preparation.
