Vertical variation of phosphorus forms in surface sediments from Wuli Bay, Taihu Lake, China

1IntroductionPhosphorus,an essential nutrient for the primaryproductivity in freshwater systems,is an important fac-tor controlling lacustrine eutrophication.Although ex-ternal input of phosphorus has been assumed as the vi-tal responsibility for the eutrophication of lakes(ZhuJun et al.,2005),the remobilization of phosphorus insediments has a distinct influence on it as well(Bostr m et al.,1982).The concentrations of totalphosphorus(Ptotal)in the sediments are often related tothe trophic st…

New Discovery of ~1866 Ma High-temperature Mylonite in the Helanshan Complex: Marking a Late-stage Ductile Shearing in the Khondalite Belt, North China Craton

正Objective The Khondalite Belt is a nearly E–W-trending Paleoproterozoic Himalayan-type orogen in the Western Block of the North China Craton. It is regarded as a result of the collision between the northern Yinshan Block and the southern Ordos Block at ～1.95 Ga, which led to the formation of the united basement of the Western Block(e.g., Zhao et al., 2005; Yin et al., 2011). The Khondalite Belt has undergone long-term continent-continen collisional orogenic processes, and a remarkable series of late-stage orogen-parallel ductile shear zones developed(e.g., Huang et al., 2013; Gong et al., 2014).     

U-Pb Zircon Dating of the Granitic Conglomerates of the Hutuo Group： Affinities to the Wutai Granitoids and Significance to the Tectonic Evolution of the Trans-North China Orogen

Structural Origin of the Red-Ribbon Style Iron Ores in the Xinyu Iron Deposit, Central Jiangxi Province

<正>In summary,field observations and detailed measurements suggest that the red-ribbon style iron-ore bodies in Xinyu iron deposit result from regional plastic flow and sausage bending,rather than fold superimposition.The Xinyu iron deposit,located in central Jiangxi Province,is one of the most important BIF-type deposits in China.It is hosted in the Late Proterozoic volcanicsedimentary rocks,which are composed of sericitechlorite pyhllite,magnetite-bearing chlorite phyllite or schist,magnetite quartzite,and schist(Yu et al.,1989;Zeng et al.,2011).The Xinyu iron orefield lies on the eastern side of the Wugong Shan uplift,to the north of the South China
