註釋

Fine-grained sediment flocculation is a phenomenon which is not fully understood in the freshwater fluvial environment. This study examined the suspended sediment characteristics of a southern Ontario river in order to determine the nature of flocculated suspended sediment and the factors which may influence it. It is the first research to quantify flocculation as the primary mode of transport for fine-grained mineral sediment in a river. As flocculation is known to alter the settling characteristics of particles, and potentially their ability to transport contaminants, there are important practical environmental consequences for flocculation in rivers.
