末次冰消期以来民勤盆地沉积地层记录及年代学研究

石羊河流域位于西北干旱区河西走廊东段,是西北干旱区与东部季风区的交汇过渡地带。流域下游的民勤盆地分布有大量保存完整的湖相沉积地层和湖岸地貌,这些沉积地层和地貌景观在整个西北干旱、半干旱地区极具代表性,是进行古气候环境研究的理想场所。鉴于此,选取民勤盆地的青土湖剖面、西渠剖面、沙坑井剖面、九坨墚剖面作为研究对象,通过剖面地层对比及可靠14C测年,探讨了区域末次冰消期以来的气候变化的几个大的阶段。主要结论和认识如下:13000aBP前和9500—6700aBP两个阶段,区域沉积地层以风成砂、河流砂沉积为主,气候环境表现为干旱;13000—9500aBP和6700—1100aBP两个阶段,区域沉积地层表现为湖相沉积的粉砂沉积为主,气候环境表现为湿润;1100—0aBP风成砂等的沉积阶段,气候环境表现为干旱。

东昆仑山区更新世植被与环境变化的孢粉学证据

昆仑山垭口羌塘组和三岔河组的孢粉分析表明，羌塘高原的干旱环境在早更新世时已经确立，孢粉反映的古气候以干湿变化为主，冷暖变化不明显，可能与青藏高原隆起有关，在2～1.8 Ma BP，羌塘高原的古植被是以麻黄、藜科、蒿等为主的荒漠或草原荒漠植被，1.8～1.3 Ma BP气候变得比较温和稍湿，古植被演变成草原植被，在1～0.68 Ma BP，本区在构造抬升和冰期气候控制之下植被极不发育，0.68～0.65 Ma BP可能为一小间冰段，古植被为蒿、藜科、麻黄和众多草本植物组成的草原植被，羌塘组和三岔河组缺失650～350 ka BP的沉积，可能仍为荒漠植被，倒数第二次间冰期时期，在三岔河组的沟谷里可能生长着云、冷杉组成的暗针叶林、随的，古气温明显变干，针叶林消失，60 ka BP之后，气候进一步变干，古植被又演变成荒漠植被。     

西藏札达盆地晚上新世古植被型分析

札达盆地晚上新世生长着以高山荒漠小灌木、草原、亚高山常绿针叶林和中低山常绿针叶林为主的植被。气候显示了从干旱寒冷至温暖湿润的垂向分异，总体偏于干、寒，属亚热带高山或亚高山类型。当时区内海拔已较高，南低北高的地势特征也已形成。古植被重建及现青藏高原的植被调查资料表明，当时盆地最低处的海拔可能不会超过2 500 m，其周围及北部可能存在海拔4 000 m的高地或更高的山峰。中、晚上新世迄今，该地区隆升的高度的可能不会超过1千米，幅度较喜马拉雅山中部地区小。

A Holocene record of climate,vegetation change and peat bog development,east Otago,South Island,New Zealand

A Holocene record of pollen, macrofossils, testate amoebae and peat humification is presented from a small montane bog. Sediment accumulation began before 9000 yr BP, but peat growth not until ca. 7000 BP. From 12 000 to 7000 yr BP, a shrub–grassland dominated under a dry climate, with increasing conifer forest and tall scrub from ca. 9600 yr BP. At 7000 yr BP a dense montane–subalpine low conifer forest established under a moist, cool climatic regime. Between 7000 and 700 yr BP the bog surface was shrubby, tending to be dry but with highly variable surface wetness. The catchment was affected by major fire at least four times between 4000 and 1000 yr BP. Both fire and bog surface wetness may have been linked to ENSO-caused variations in rainfall. Cooler, cloudier winters and disturbance by fire promoted the expansion of the broadleaf tree Nothofagus menziesii between 4000 yr BP and 1300 yr BP at the expense of the previous conifer forest–scrub vegetation. Polynesian fires (ca. 700 yr BP) reduced the vegetation to tussock grassland and bracken. Deforestation did not markedly affect the hydrology of the site. European pastoralism since ad 1860 has increased run-off and rising water tables in the bog have led to a Sphagnum-dominated cover. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Pollen‐based biome reconstructions for Colombia at 3000, 6000, 9000, 12 000, 15 000 and 18 000 14C yr ago: Late Quaternary tropical vegetation dynamics

Colombian biomes are reconstructed at 45 sites from the modern period extending to the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). The basis for our reconstruction is pollen data assigned to plant functional types and biomes at six 3000‐yr intervals. A reconstruction of modern biomes is used to check the treatment of the modern pollen data set against a map of potential vegetation. This allows the biomes reconstructed at past periods to be assessed relative to the modern situation. This process also provides a check on the a priori assignment of pollen taxa to plant functional types and biomes. For the majority of the sites, the pollen data accurately reflect the potential vegetation, even though much of the original vegetation has been transformed by agricultural practices. At 18 000 ¹⁴C yr BP, a generally cool and dry environment is reflected in biome, assignments of cold mixed forests, cool evergreen forests and cool grassland–shrub; the latter extending to lower altitudes than presently recorded. This signal is strongly recorded at 15 000 and 12 000 ¹⁴C yr BP, the vegetation at these times also reflecting a relatively cool and dry environment. At 9000 ¹⁴C yr BP there is a shift to biomes thought to result from slightly cooler environmental conditions. This trend is reversed by 6000 ¹⁴C yr BP; most sites, within a range of different environmental settings, recording a shift to more xeric biome types. There is an expansion of steppe and cool mixed‐forest biomes, replacing tropical dry forest and cool grassland–shrub biomes, respectively. These changes in biome assignments from the modern situation can be interpreted as a biotic response to mid‐Holocene climatic aridity. At 3000 ¹⁴C yr BP the shift is mainly to biomes characteristic of slightly more mesic environmental conditions. There are a number of sites that do not change biome assignment relative to the modern reconstruction, although the affinities that these sites have to a specific biome do change. These ‘anomalies’ are interpreted on a site‐by‐site basis. Spatially constant, but differential response of the vegetation to climatic shifts are related to changes in moisture sources and the importance of edaphic controls on the vegetation. The Late Quaternary reconstruction of large‐scale vegetation dynamics in Colombia allows an understanding of the environmental controls on these to be developed. In particular, shifts in the character of the main climatic systems that influence Colombian vegetation are described. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

兴凯湖沉积物有机碳和氮及其稳定同位素反映的28kaBP以来区域古气候环境变化

兴凯湖是东北亚最大的淡水湖,也是中俄界湖。我们是国内首次对兴凯湖一根长269 cm的沉积岩心进行了研究,结果显示:δ13Corg和TOC之间显示较好的负相关性,说明δ13Corg低值时期,气候温暖或湿润,δ13Corg值处于高值时期,气候冷干;C/N比值和TOC之间显示较好的正相关性,C/N比值平均值为11.4,显示兴凯湖沉积物有机质以内源浮游植物生产为主;δ15Norg高值对应于气候冷干期,此时沉积物有机质更多的来源于浮游植物,δ15Norg低值对应于暖湿期,但营养盐输入的减少也会造成δ15Norg值降低。兴凯湖沉积物有机碳和氮及其稳定同位素数据综合分析结果表明:28 480～26 160 cal.aBP,湖区气候冷干;26 160～22 880 cal.aBP,湖区气候温暖湿润;22 880～18 180 cal.aBP,流域处于末次盛冰期多年冻土环境;18 185～12 650 cal.aBP,对应于Blling/Older Dryas/Allerd气候波动暖期;90～78 cm段,对应于Younger Dryas事件;11 500～4 570 cal.aBP,进入全新世暖湿期,早期气候温干,晚期气候温湿;4 570～1 470 cal.aBP,气候冷干;1470 cal.aBP以来,又转为暖湿气候。     

邯郸地区晚更新世以来植被波动特征及其对气候变化的响应

对河北邯郸HZ S孔沉积物进行孢粉分析,结果表明该地区晚更新世以来的气候演变形式既有与全球同步的特点,也有本区域独自的特征。古气候与古植被演变过程如下:（1）晚更新世末次间冰期气候温暖湿润(130～75 kaBP),植被为森林草原;末次冰期气候演化经历了寒冷干燥(75～55 kaBP)→温暖湿润(40～30 kaBP)→寒冷干燥(30～10 kaBP)的过程,植被演替过程相应为草原→森林草原→草原。（2）全新世气候演化经历了温凉略干(10～8 kaBP)→温暖湿润(8～3 kaBP)→温凉偏干(3～0 kaBP)的过程,植被演替过程相应为疏林草原→森林草原→疏林草原。（3）发生在25 kaBP左右,16 kaBP左右和11～10 kaBP的冷事件可能是Heinrich事件3、1和Younger Dryas事件在中国东部季风区的响应。     

台湾头社盆地湖沼相沉积孢粉记录的6.2~1.3 cal ka BP以来气候研究

头社盆地位于中国台湾省中部,东亚季风区的最前沿,对东亚季风的响应十分敏感,研究其中晚全新世以来古植被、重建古气候序列,探讨其气候与东亚夏季风的关系具有重要的科学意义。文章对头社盆地泥炭—湖泊沉积的AMS14C测年、体积磁化率测试的基础上,基于孢粉记录,重建晚全新世来植被变化,恢复古气候。结果表明全新世中晚期以来分六个阶段：6.2~6.0 cal ka BP,气候凉干,植被类型是亚热带常绿阔叶林;6.0~4.0 cal ka BP,气候转暖湿,植被类型为含较多热带成分的亚热带常绿阔叶林;4.0~2.2 cal ka BP,气候相对凉干,植被类型转为亚热带常绿阔叶林;2.2~1.9 cal ka BP,气候又变暖湿;1.9~1.7 cal ka BP,气候快速冷干事件,森林退化;1.7~1.3 cal ka BP,气候重转温暖湿润,植被类型为接近现代的沼泽草原。整体上6.2~2.2 cal ka BP的气候变化是由温暖湿润向温凉干燥转变的趋势,这是全新世中晚期以来的太阳辐射量减少所导致的,太阳辐射量的减少导致热带辐合南移,进而导致东亚夏季风减弱,而2.2 cal ka BP之后气候波动较大,可能是在东亚夏季风减弱的背景下,ENSO活动加强与人类活动的干扰下耦合的结果。

Biostratigraphic Evidence of the Allerød-Younger Dryas-Preboreal Oscillation in Northern Iceland

Basal sediments of Lake Torfadalsvatn, northern Iceland, record changes in terrestrial and limnic environments in the period 11,300-9000 ¹⁴C yr B.P. These changes were probably forced by climate and connected with displacements of the marine polar front and sea-ice margin. Pollen, spores, green algae (Pediastrum), saturation isothermal remanent magnetization, and carbon content of the basal sediments provide the first detailed biostratigraphic record of the last glacial-interglacial transition in Iceland. During the first pioneer phase, beginning at ca. 11,300 ¹⁴C yr B.P., grasses and fell-field herbs became established, and lake productivity was very low. At ca. 10,900 ¹⁴C yr B.P., climatic and soil conditions became favorable for shrubs and dwarf shrubs. This change, together with increased limnic productivity, clearly indicates long seasons without ice-cover in the sea immediately north of Iceland. A return to a colder climate (Younger Dryas), probably in connection with a southward displacement of the marine polar front, occurred by 10,600 ¹⁴C yr B.P. Shrub and dwarf-shrub vegetation disappeared, and limnic productivity diminished. A second pioneer vegetation phase, dominated by Oxyria/Rumex and grasses, was initiated by a change to longer seasons without sea ice at ca. 9900 ¹⁴C yr B.P. This warming is also evident as a contemporaneous increase in lake productivity. After ca. 9400 ¹⁴C yr B.P. the reestablishment of dwarf-shrub heaths and very high limnic productivity indicate further warming.
