吉林辉南二龙湾玛珥湖12.0 ka B.P.以来孢粉记录与气候变化

东北二龙湾玛珥湖孢粉记录显示,12.0 ka B.P.以来,该区植被和气候经历了以下变化：11.76～9.81 ka B.P. 发育针阔叶混交林,气候冷干。9.81～4.11 ka B.P.为落叶阔叶林植被景观,前期（9.81～8.86 ka B.P.）温干,为增温期;后期（8.86～4.11 ka B.P.）暖湿,为气候适宜期。4.11 ka B.P.至今,再次发育针阔叶混交林, 其中1.62 ka B.P.以前,气候温凉;之后湿度下降,气候凉干。研究表明:YD（11.56～10.21 ka B.P.）事件在二龙湾玛珥湖孢粉资料中有突出记录,4.0 ka B.P.左右开始的降温现象在东北东部地区广泛出现。     

广西桂林地区晚三叠世孢粉组合及其地层意义

广西桂林地区首次发现晚三叠世孢粉化石２７属３７种,可称为Ｄｉｃｔｙｏｐｈｙｌｉｄｉｔｅｓ－Ｃａｎａｌｉ－ｚｏｎｏｓｐｏｒａ－Ｏｖａｌｉｐｏｌｉｓ－Ｒｉｃｃｉｓｐｏｒｉｔｅｓ组合,其中的主要属种在国内外均为晚三叠世的重要分子,并可与我国华南地区和欧洲有关晚三叠世孢粉组合进行对比。因此,当前组合的地质时代属于晚三叠世,这填补了桂林地区中生代地质发展史中的一个空白。     

全新世以来毛乌素沙地东南缘成壤环境演变研究——以榆林镇北台为例

古土壤是重建古环境重要的信息源。毛乌素沙地东南缘的古土壤在发育程度上尚未有明确解释。陕西省榆林市的镇北台地区位于毛乌素沙地东南边缘,对气候响应敏感。本文选取厚度为524 cm的镇北台(ZBT)剖面,按照古土壤2 cm、风成砂5 cm的间隔共采集古土壤样品156个,风成砂样品58个。基于6个AMS14C和3个OSL年代样品,推测剖面古土壤底部年龄为10 cal.ka B.P.,顶部年龄为3.2 cal.ka B.P.;并结合土壤微形态特征,对镇北台剖面沉积物中常量元素特征与成壤强度进行分析探讨。结果表明,镇北台(ZBT)剖面常量元素组成以SiO2、Al2O3和Na2O为主。CIA指数指示剖面处于脱Ca、Na为主的初级风化阶段,反映了毛乌素沙地东南缘全新世以来可能以相对干旱的气候环境为主,风化成壤作用较弱,但其中也不乏幅度较小的冷暖气候旋回。土壤微形态特征也表明ZBT剖面风化程度较弱,主要矿物由石英、长石、云母和岩屑矿物构成,可见胶结物和泥岩岩屑等土壤形成物。其成壤强度变化与化学元素特征表现一致:10.0~8.1 cal.ka B.P.左右,成壤较弱,气候向暖湿转变;6.9 cal.ka B.P.左右,成壤作用稍有加强;5.5~3.7 cal.ka B.P.左右,成壤作用最强,气候相对暖湿,化学、生物风化加强,但此阶段具有明显的不稳定性.     

New Discovery of Oligocene Gastropod Opercula from the Yehucheng Formation in Northwestern China

Fourteen species of nonmarine gastropod opercula are found to be in high abundance in the Oligocene upper member of the Yehucheng Formation,Lanzhou Basin,northwest China.They are attributed to two families,namely Bithyniidae and Assimineidae,and four genera,namely Pseudemmericia,Bithynia,Mirolaminatus and Assiminea.Among them,three species are new,and they are Bithynia paramonolithic sp.nov.,B.obliquus sp.nov.,and B.disregularis sp.nov.Some of these species were first discovered in Paleogene strata of the vast Northwest China and can be compared with the opercula recovered from the Paleogene deposits in East and South China.It is inferred from the paleontology and sediment associations that the climate was slightly humid and the fauna probably inhabited the fresh or brackish water of a shallow lake in the Lanzhou Basin during the late early Oligocene period.     

江汉盆地始新世中、晚期气候变化周期性的孢粉学证据

采用时间序列分析方法对江汉盆地明钾1孔的孢粉数据进行了处理，发现在中、晚始新世时期孢粉植物群的波动存在各种周期成分。长周期有1.2Ma、2.0Ma及5.0Ma，中周期有0.2Ma、0.4Ma、0.6Ma、0.8Ma，其中1.2Ma及0.2Ma、0.4Ma、0.6Ma的周期成分在第四纪孢粉植物群的演化中也存在，且与8.0Ma B.P.以来的构造气候旋回，亚旋回的准1.2Ma及0.4Ma周期相一致。这表明地球运动轨道变化对气候的制约作用由来已久。该孔孢粉时间序列的趋成分显示最少有4个水平，反映了孢粉植物群演化的4个阶段。曲线还揭示36Ma B.P.前后的波动周期及振幅都有明显的变异，可能预示了一次大的环境变革。这一变化在很大程度上与喜马拉雅一期运动和地球南半球一次大的海洋和气候变冷事件相吻合。     

Pollen analysis and rates of pollen incorporation into a radiocarbon-dated palaeopodzolic soil at Haugabreen, southern Norway

Pollen analysis of the organic surface (FH) horizon of a radiocarbon-dated palaeopodzol buried beneath the 'Little Ice Age' outer moraine of Haugabreen west of the Jostedalsbrecn ice-cap, southern Norway, provided evidence for environmental change in the area between ca. 4,000 B. P. and the 13th century A. D. Radiocarbon dating of the profile, apart from providing a chronology for the changes interpreted, also allowed estimation of pollen incorporation rates into the soil which can be compared with pollen influx rates established elsewhere. Two periods of local woodland recession were identified, the first between ca. 3,300 B. P. and ca. 3,600 B. P., after the initiation of the FH horizon, and the second in the 13th century A. D. at the onset of the Little Ice Age.     

A late quaternary pollen record from the Transvaal bushveld, South Africa

Pollen spectra from cores of organic spring deposits from the Transvaal provide evidence for the climatic evolution of the province during the last 35,000 yr B.P. or more. The past climatic phases are derived from palynological reconstructions of past vegetation types by comparison of fossil pollen data with modern surface pollen spectra from various localities. Evidence is provided for an early moist, cool phase with relatively mesic bushveld and expanded montane forest in the central Transvaal, followed by a drier period with drier bushveld which probably lasted until approximately 25,000 yr B.P. During the next phase, which at the latest ended about 11,000 yr B.P., the temperatures were probably 5°–6°C cooler than at present. At that time bushveld vegetation in the central Transvaal was replaced by open grassland with macchia elements. Climatic amelioration came and semiarid savanna returned to the plains, at first gradually and then developing into a warm Kalahari thornveld-type vegetation. After 6000 yr B.P. it apparently became slightly wetter and a more broad-leafed bushveld developed. About 4000 yr B.P. it again became cooler and slightly wetter and the bushveld vegetation on the central and northern plains was comparable to present open upland types. After 2000 yr B.P. conditions gradually became warner until about 1000 yr B.P., when the modern climate of the central Transvaal bushveld originated.     

Diatom, Pollen, and Chemical Evidence of Postglacial Climatic Change at Big Lake, South-Central British Columbia, Canada

Postglacial climatic conditions were inferred from cores taken from Big Lake in southern British Columbia. Low concentrations of nonarboreal pollen and pigments near the base of the core suggest that initial conditions were cool. Increases in both aquatic and terrestrial production suggest warmer and moister conditions until 8500 cal yr B.P. Hyposaline diatom assemblages, increases in nonarboreal pollen, and increased concentrations of pigments suggest the onset of arid conditions from 8500 to 7500 cal yr B.P. Slightly less arid conditions are inferred from 7500 until 6660 cal yr B.P. based on the diatoms, small increases and greater variability in biogenic silica and pigments, and higher percentages of arboreal pollen. At 6600 cal yr B.P., changes in diatoms, pigments, biogenic silica, and organic matter suggest that Big Lake became fresh, deep, and eutrophic until 3600 cal yr B.P., when water levels and nutrients decreased slightly. Our paleoclimatic inferences are similar to pollen-based studies until 6600 cal yr B.P. However, unlike these studies, our multiple lines of evidence from Big Lake imply large changes in effective moisture since 6000 cal yr B.P.     

青藏高原东北缘循化-官亭地区2.6万年以来气候变化研究

根据粉尘搬运的动力学原理,利用温湿度组合、风力强度变化和粉尘源区收扩演变特点,分析了青藏高原东北缘循化-官亭地区黄土的粒度、磁化率特征及其反映2.6万年以来的气候波动、区域环境变化以及冬夏季风关系等,划分了主要气候演化阶段,取得了以下重要认识:1)山脉阻挡是造成循化-官亭盆地黄土剖面记录气候波动差异的主要影响因素,拉脊山东南段是亚洲冬季风和高原冬季风系统的重要分割线;2)循化盆地和官亭盆地约26kaB.P.气候变化主要分为2个阶段,每个阶段又可分为若干个亚阶段;3)青藏高原东北缘官亭-循化地区全新世适宜期时间可能为6.0~3.7kaB.P.,官亭盆地和循化盆地黄土粒度磁化率明显差异的原因可能主要受风场的控制。     

东北平原西部沙地古土壤与全新世环境变迁

东北平原西部全新世以来广泛地发育了2—3层古土壤,主要有四次发育时期,即11000—7000、5500—4500、3500—2800和1400—1000aB.P.。古土壤与风成沙形成互层。它们的孢粉组合特征和物理化学性质的变化反映古环境的变迁。作者认为,该区全新世以来的环境变迁出现四个由干旱到半干旱、半湿润的旋回。半干旱、半湿润时期的自然景观为蒿类草原或稀树(榆树)蔼类草原,发育了沙质淡黑钙土。
