河北平原南部曲周地区早、中全新世冲积物的分析及古环境状况的推测

在河北平原南培的曲周县四町间洼地一深为250cm的探坑中，取得50－250cm深度范围的沉积物样品，对这些冲积物样品做了AMS^14C测,一度分析，矿物磁性测量，碳酸盐中氧，碳稳定同位素分析，全有机碳和碳／氮比值分析，孢粉分析，结果表明，全有机碳极低，孢粉甚少；矿物磁性参数和稳定同位素含量随粒度的变化与黄土高原的黄土－古土壤序列中的情形十分相似。由此推测这些变化在一定程度上反映了成土作用对冲积物的影响和气候状况的变化，并对这一地区的早，中全新世古环境划分为6个变化阶段：在约10210－10000aB.P.，气候温暖湿润，在10000－8500aB.P.,气候凉干；在8500－8000aB.P.,气候又转为温暖湿润，在8000－7200aB.P.,气候再趋凉干，在7200－约6500aB.P.,气候再度变为温暖湿润，在约6500aB.P.以后，气候渐趋凉干。     

石家庄地区早全新世冷湿气候的牙齿微磨痕和同位素证据

早全新世11~8kaB.P.是末次盛冰期之后全球经历的第一个温暖期,研究表明该时期华北气候温暖湿润,但在8.2kaB.P.华北对全球冷事件的响应没有相关报道。本文通过~(14)C测年和冲刷事件对比手段确定石家庄河床沉积中的诺氏古菱齿象(Palaeoloxodon naumanni)-披毛犀(Coelodonta antiquitatis)动物群生活在8.2kaB.P.时期。对来源于石家庄市郊区砂砾石层中的5件成年古菱齿象牙釉质样品进行了XRD粉末衍射、碳氧同位素和牙齿微磨痕分析。结果表明,牙齿XRD粉末衍射模式与现生大象相似,说明未受到地下水的影响;碳同位素分析表明早全新世华北东部为森林草原环境;极低的氧同位素值说明当时气候寒冷或湿润,地层中的针叶林茎杆和披毛犀化石也说明气候的寒冷;石家庄地区古菱齿象的凹坑痕出现频率极低,长条痕缺乏纤细类型。这种模式说明石家庄地区的古菱齿象以木质茎秆(55%)和草(45%)为食,而湿润季节以草为食是大象的特点,当时的石家庄是气候寒冷或湿润的针叶林草原环境。

巽他海峡BAR9442岩心30 kaBP以来的沉积记录与古季风活动

为重建巽他海峡区古季风活动历史,通过对BAR9442岩心氧同位素、AMS14C测年、陆源碎屑标准偏差区间粒径分布,以及上升流种Globigerina bulloides等变化特点分析,并结合前人对该岩心粘土矿物的研究,获得如下认识:末次冰期30~17 kaBP,海平面下降,陆源粉砂物质输入增加; 南半球夏季日照率高,然而受冰期热带辐聚带位置影响,西北季风受阻,东南信风持续吹过研究海域形成类似东南季风的效应,气候冷干; 受印度东北季风影响,伊利石含量最高,上升流活动不发育, 古生产力降低.17~8 kaBP,海平面迅速上升,出现较强的表层穿越流活动,粘土物质成为沉积物的主要组分; 此时东南与西北季风都有增强,说明当时研究区气候有着更强的季节性.全新世8 kaBP以来,全球海平面上升使穿越流活动加强,沉积物粘土组分含量最大,西北季风带来温暖湿润的气候条件.

华北平原HS1钻孔第四纪冲洪积物地球化学特征及古气候意义

选用华北平原地区长时间序列的HS1钻孔, 在对其沉积物主、微量元素含量、相关程度及地球化学指标分析的基础上对区内古环境变化、古气候演化进行了讨论。结果表明, 自上新世晚期(3.50 Ma)以来HS1钻孔所在区域经历了温暖湿润—温和偏湿—寒冷略干—寒冷干旱—温和偏干—温凉潮湿—温和偏干—温暖潮湿8个气候演化阶段, 整体趋势由湿润变为干旱, 这与孔内孢粉、碳-氧同位素和粒度记录具有同趋性。区域对比结果显示, 重建长时间尺度内的气候变化, 地球化学可作为孢粉的更优等效指标, 短时间序列内的气候变化则以高分辨率的孢粉记录最优。区内整体处于陆缘弱氧化的沉积环境, 且第四纪时期化学风化程度相较古土壤层发育的上新世晚期更弱。HS1钻孔不同地质时期冲洪积物的元素地球化学组成的差异性, 主要取决于其母质来源和搬运距离; 具体表现为一方面与受地形地貌影响、一级构造调节转换带及次级构造单元控制的古水流有关, 另一方面与受气候变化影响的沉积环境、水动力条件、化学风化和成土作用等有关。

通过对云南寻甸白石岩仙人洞1号石笋进行高精度TIM S-U系测年和氧碳稳定同位素分析,重建了寻甸地区中全新世8. 0ka 以来高分辨率古气候演化序列。石笋剖面的碳氧同位素记录揭示,云南寻甸地区自8. 0kaB. P.以来的气候演化可以分为三个气候期: (1) 8000～6000aB. P.为温暖湿润期,夏季风强盛,气温较高,降水丰沛,石笋的氧碳同位素偏负; ( 2) 6000～5200 a B. P.为季风气候衰退期,在这期间气温和降水都发生了较大变化,气候由温湿变为冷干,石笋氧碳同位素持续偏正; ( 3) 5200～2100aB. P.凉干气候期,这一时期气候基本稳定,东亚季风对气候影响较大,但气温和降水都低于第一个气候稳定期。      

水化学和钙华碳氧稳定同位素在古环境重建中的应用--以贵州荔波小七孔景区响水河为例

文章报道了响水河河水的现场监测结果,得到响水河河水的Ca²+和HCO^-₃非常低,这明显与河床中大规模钙华的存在和景区内发育的茂密植被不匹配;并仔细观察发现,钙华表面有被侵蚀的痕迹,如溶蚀槽和溶蚀坑等,这说明目前所见钙华可能是过去环境条件下的产物。根据钙华碳氧稳定同位素组成特征的分析得出:近4000年来,该地区总的气候环境变化趋势是4000～3400aB.P.为相对温暖湿润期,植被生长好,为良性生态期;3400～2000aB.P.前期仍比较温暖但干燥,后期到2000aB.P.左右变得比较凉爽,从这一冷期到大致900aB.P.前后,气候有些波动,但幅度较小,夹有冷暖干湿的交替;而900aB.P.至今,钙华碳氧稳定同位素值的急剧增加,反映出气候的冷干和源区人类活动加剧造成的水土流失增加,岩溶石漠化加重,生态朝恶化方向发展

A New Material of Lindera (Lauraceae) of the Late Pliocene from Tengchong, Yunnan and the Genus' Biogeography Significance

Lindera is a large genus of graceful, pleasantly scented and common native trees and shrubs of southern China and neighboring regions of SE Asia. There is a well-documented Cenozoic fossil record not only in these regions but also from elsewhere. A new fossil leaf record has been found in diatomite beds from the Upper Pliocene Mangbang Formation of Tuantian, Tengchong County, Yunnan. The leaves are identified and assigned to Lindera acuminatissima K. Q. Dao et B. N. Sun sp. nov., by comparing their leaf architecture and epidermal characteristics with those of 51 extant Lauraceae species and with 15 known fossil Lindera taxa. The specimens have well-preserved cuticles, with typical leaf architecture and epidermal characteristics of the Lauraceae, including entire leaf margin, intramarginal veins, basal ternate acrodromous primary veins, one-cell trichome base, paracytic stomatal apparatus, sunken guard cells, subsidiary hardly staining cells and presence of oil cells. These characteristics are consistent with Lindera sect. Daphnidium but are different from reported fossil and extant species of Lindera. The cuticles of Lindera are fragile and delicate with only three Lindera fossils reported based on this tissue. In terms of paleobiogeography, the fossil record indicates that Lindera is distributed in high- to mid-latitude regions of the Late Cretaceous to Paleocene northern hemisphere. Coincidentally, the records of Lindera located on both sides of the Bering Land Bridge possibly support the hypothesis that ancient plants extended via transcontinental exchanges through the Bering Corridor. In the Eocene, ancient Lindera spread to Europe through the Northern Degeer Route and the Southern Thulian Route. At the same time, ancient Lindera spread into Central Asia. Climatic changes and tectonization since the Neogene prevented the propagation of Lindera throughout Asia, North America and Europe, and hence the distribution areas have just regressed to the low-latitude regions in Asia and North America. From the Paleogene to the Neogene, Lindera has changed its distribution by surviving extreme climate changes. Quaternary glaciations ultimately led to Lindera becoming extinct in Europe. The new record from Tengchong, Yunnan, with its lower latitude located in tropical and subtropical regions, indicates that Lindera has lived in those regions since the late Pliocene.     

Monitoring Cenozoic climate evolution of northeastern Tibet: stable isotope constraints from the western Qaidam Basin,China

Carbon and oxygen stable isotopic composition of Cenozoic lacustrine carbonates from the intramontane Qaidam Basin yields cycles of variable length and shows several distinct events driven by tectonics and climate changes. From Eocene to Oligocene, the over-all trend in the δ¹³C composition of lacustrine carbonates shows a shift toward higher values, possibly related to higher proportions of dissolved inorganic carbon transported to the lake or lower input of soil derived CO₂. At the same time, the δ¹⁸O composition of lacustrine carbonates is decreasing in accordance with the global cooling trend and northwards drifting of the whole region. During the Miocene, distinct isotopic events can be recognized, although their interpretation and linkage to a certain tectonic event remains difficult. These events may be related to uplift in the Himalayas, to the strongest phase of uplift in the Altyn Mountains, to pronounced subsidence of the Qaidam Basin or to the expansion of C4 plants on land. Generally cold, highly evaporative conditions can be deduced from enrichment of δ¹⁸O isotopic compositions during Pliocene and Quaternary times.     

Late Pliocene to Early Pleistocene productivity in the Arabian Sea

The stable isotopic compositions of organic C and N and the organic carbon (OC) content of the Oman Margin (ODP Site 724) sediments, ranging from Pliocene to Early Pleistocene in age, are used to infer palaeoproductivity in the area. At the boundary between the Pliocene and the Pleistocene, the amount of organic matter preserved is low compared to other periods before and after this transition period. This low OC content is associated with depleted N and C isotope values. This may indicate low primary productivity as a result of a diminished supply of nutrients caused by weak coastal upwelling. Higher amounts of OC, in conjunction with enrichment in the isotopic compositions of both organic C and N before and after the Pliocene-Pleistocene transition period, are likely to be a consequence of an increase in primary productivity, which resulted from a higher nutrient supply. However, a higher amount of OC may have resulted from enhanced preservation. The enhanced preservation may have resulted from an intrusion of highly saline waters from the Res Sea and Persian Gulf and/or restricted circulation.     

Stable carbon and oxygen isotopic variations in modern Rabdotus land snail shells in the southern Great Plains, USA, and their relation to environment

Variations of stable isotopic ratios of carbon (¹³C/¹²C) and oxygen (¹⁸O/¹⁶O) were investigated in modern shells of two species of Rabdotus land snails (R. dealbatus and R. alternatus) in the southern Great Plains. Geographic variation in relation to climate and vegetation, microgeographic variation, variability among individuals, and detailed records of seasonal variations within individual shells were studied. Stable carbon isotopic ratios in shell carbonate are primarily a function of the isotopic composition of the diet of the snails, as represented by the isotopic composition of shell organic matter. This in turn reflects the presence or absence of CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) or C₄ plants. Vegetation density may have a small effect on the carbon isotope ratios. Microgeographic variation (samples within 25 to 300 m) is greater than that seen across different climatic regions and points to very local control of isotopic variations, predominantly related to vegetation. Seasonal variations, as assessed through serial analysis of individual shells (up to 35 samples per shell), may provide a means for distinguishing between isotopic influences of perennial CAM vs. annual C₄ plants. Carbon isotopic variations in time-series of shells from a site provide a means of reconstructing temporal changes in environment and climate.Oxygen isotopic values of shell carbonate are uniform across the region and also show no significant microgeographic variation. The oxygen isotopic composition appears to be mainly a function of the rainwater isotopic composition, with no direct influence of rainfall amount or evaporative effects. The δ¹⁸O values are only 2‰ enriched relative to estimated equilibrium with rainwater. Variability is low (SD of 0.8‰ among sites), so the isotopic composition of fossil Rabdotus shells can provide a precise record of changes in the isotopic composition of rain over time.     

云南元谋上新世秋枫化石的首次发现及古气候分析?

青藏高原隆起和高山栎组（壳斗科）分布的关系

高山栎是一类硬叶常绿的栎属植物,集中分布在横断山区,是这一地区群落中的优势种和建群种。高山栎组分布区的形成和喜马拉雅的隆起、横断山的形成有密切关系。讨论了这种相互关系。先清理了高山栎分类学的混乱,将原来的12种高山栎归并为 9种,在此基础上讨论了高山栎的现代分布和系统位置,总结分析了高山栎的地史资料。认为高山栎组植物出现的时间不晚于中新世,在中新世高山栎组已经有了较广的分布,分布在当时的亚热带常绿阔叶林。在上新世,随着喜马拉雅山脉的隆起和抬升,横断山地区的环境发生了巨大的变化,环境变冷、变旱。高山栎组植物由于自身所具有的抗寒耐旱的形态特征,如被较厚的毛被,单位面积气孔数目较少等使之在生物竞争中成为优胜者,而逐步成为横断山地区群落中的优势种和建群种。并以已有地质学、古植物学、形态解剖学、植物地理学和分子生物学的证据论证了这一假说。
