Abstract：Tidal channels, vegetation types and FVC (fractional vegetation cover) were extracted from high resolution aerial images according to the field measurement. Combined with multi-temporal satellite images and numerical ocean model, the authors employed the waterline and the width-to-depth ratio methods to inverse the tide creek bottom elevation, with which the Dongtan 3D terrain of Chongming was constructed. The effects of vegetation on tidal creeks were analyzed and some conclusions were reached: 1 The root mean square error between the tidal channel calculation and the measured result is 0.545 m at Dongtan of Chongming, and the accuracy is higher at high tide beach than at the low tidal beach; 2 From low to high tide flat, tidal channel depth increases first and then decreases along the longitudinal profile. The shallow tidal creek at the high tidal flat results from the weakness of water dynamics and beach consolidation by the vegetation roots, where downward erosion is inhibited. On the other hand, tidal channel becomes wide and shallow at the low tidal flat owing to lateral erosion without vegetation cover and weak hydrodynamics; 3 Tidal channel depth is deep in the south and shallow in the south. The Dongtan tidal channel density and vegetation coverage show significant negative correlation (r=0.560 4, p<0.02), and tidal channel length has a significant corresponding relation with vegetation types. Tidal channel length is longer in Spartina alterniflora and reed communities than in Scirpus mariqueter areas. Tidal creeks are undeveloped in the tidal flat with high density vegetation coverage.
