Suspended sediment concentration(SSC)observation in vertical profile near the bed of mangrove tidal flat under the waves and tidal currents, is important to understand the mechanisms of energy dissipation and deposition promotion by vegetations, and the ecological restoration in coastal zone. In this study, we measured the hydrological data using HR, ADV, Twave and ASM and the typical plants’ parameters of Aegiceras corniculatum for 3 consecutive days of flood tides in the summer of 2019. Then the process of the near-bed vertical SSC of mangrove tidal flat was analyzed in response to waves, tidal currents and spatial structure of Aegiceras corniculatum. The results showed that: (1) the variations of suspended sediment flux and SSC near bed in Aegiceras corniculatum tidal flat had the characteristic of tidal asymmetry, the SSC of flood tide was significantly greater than that of ebb tide. The vertical high SSC area of the profile changed from 0.1~0.37 m to 0.5-0.67 m from the bottom in the early flood tide to flood maximum, and from the upper to the bottom in ebb maximum to end. (2) In the intra-tide, the suspension and resuspension stages occurred at the early flood and latest ebb that were dominated by waves. The advection and deposition stages occurred at the whole period from flood maximum to ebb maximum dominated by tidal currents. (3) Dense branches and leaves in the canopy of Aegiceras corniculatum intercepted more than 40% of the suspended sediment in the upper canopy during flood tide. The SSC decreased by more than 71% when the flow during ebb tide. This dynamical deposition mechanism of asymmetrical flood and ebb tide was conducive to sediment transportation landward which then led to flat expansion.
