本研究主要目的為利用在冬季(乾季，T6KP)與夏季(濕季，T7KP) 佈放沈積物收集器串列，討論生物源顆粒傳輸機制的季節性變化，與豪雨事件對生物源顆粒傳輸的影響，並與拖網結果比較，藉以驗證高屏峽谷整個水體的傳輸機制。研究結果顯示，高屏峽谷乾季的生物源顆粒傳輸主要受到潮汐的作用，呈現週期變化；濕季則受颱風造成大量降雨影響，顆粒以細顆粒為主，生物源顆粒含量變化不大，但會減弱受潮汐影響的變化趨勢。颱風過後，經過一個大小潮約15天的時間，沈積環境會再回復類似潮汐的週期。放射性核種結果，濕季的顆粒傳輸會受到高屏峽谷底部的沈降顆粒快速沈降而清除水中較少的放射性核種進入收集器內，導致T7KP串列下層收集器的放射性核種活度比T6KP串列小一個數量級。有孔蟲絕對豐度結果顯示高屏峽谷濕季的生物源顆粒傳輸受到陸源物質輸入量增加，呈現不同於乾季的傳輸型態。依據拖網結果，顯示高屏海域浮游性有孔蟲的總隻數、相對豐度及種屬組成皆有明顯的季節性變化，因此探討高屏峽谷的生物源顆粒中的有孔蟲殼體傳輸，需考慮上層海水的浮游性有孔蟲絕對豐度變化。
　　高屏峽谷的生物源顆粒傳輸中，表層海水200 m與600 m的有孔蟲的絕對豐度及放射性核種活度結果有所差異，印證高屏峽谷生物源顆粒傳輸會受高屏溪陸源輸入、漲退潮造成的上下水層顆粒傳輸方向改變及大小潮的週期性變化影響，而呈現上下不對應的結果。

Submarine canyons are common features on continental margins worldwide. They are important natural conduits for transfer of terrigenous sediments to the deep sea, and thus, preferential pathways for shelf-slope exchange. The purpose of this study is to understand the biogenic particle transport in the seasons according two sediment trap moorings deployed in the Gaoping submarine canyon. The T6KP mooring was deployed in dry season while the T7KP mooring was deployed in wet season. Two typhoons, Kalmaegi and Fung Wong, invaded Taiwan during 16-18 and 26-29 July within the deployment of T7KP. We discussed the influence of rainfall and river discharge on biogenic particle transport based on results of the two sediment traps. The foraminiferal abundance in sediment traps in comparison with plankton tows was discussed regarding the particle transport mechanism of the water column in the Gaoping submarine canyon.
The biogenic particle transport was a tide-dominated situation and displayed a periodic variation in dry season. In wet season, fine grain fraction (less than 63 micro meter) was dominant in the particle size and sedimentary condition was flood-dominated. The sedimentary condition was back to the tide-dominated state approximately 15 days after Kalmaegi typhoon (16-18, July). The activities of 210Pb and 234Th in the lower trap of T7KP mooring were an order less than that in T6KP mooring, indicating particles scavenge nuclides of the water column less effectively in wet season than in dry season. The absolute abundances of foraminifera in the canyon revealed that the biogenic particle was influenced by the terrigenous input and was different between dry and wet seasons. Seasonal variations of total flux and relative abundance of living foraminifera were evident in the upper 200 m water column near the Gaoping submarine canyon. Therefore, the seasonal variations of living foraminifera might be reflected on the biogenic particle transport in different seasons in the Gaoping submarine canyon.
