近几十年来喜马拉雅山冰川变化及其对水资源的影响

对近几十年来喜马拉雅山地区冰川变化的研究成果进行了综述,可以看出:气温普遍升高、冰川加剧退缩和冰川湖泊扩大是喜马拉雅山地区气候和冰川变化的主要特征和后果.冰川退缩导致冰川灾害的危险性增加并对本地区河流径流和水资源产生较长远的影响.但各段的气候、冰川变化及其影响存在区域差异,还需要对冰川变化和水资源影响方面的预估进行更广泛和深入的研究.     

青藏高原东南部冰川雪冰重金属元素特征

雪冰可以很好地记录大气重金属元素的含量水平。基于2015年6月在青藏高原东南部（藏东南）地区采集的4条冰川的雪坑和表层雪冰样品,分析并讨论了雪冰重金属元素特征。结果显示,Pb、Cd等重金属元素含量与高原其他地区雪冰中一致,含量总体较低,显著低于天山和阿尔卑斯山雪冰中Pb和Cd含量,与格陵兰地区雪冰Pb和Cd含量大致相当,但显著高于南极地区雪冰中Pb和Cd含量,这表明藏东南雪冰中元素含量仍代表全球背景地区大气环境状况。元素富集因子结果显示,Pb、Cr、Cd、Cu、Zn、Mo、Sn等发生强烈富集（EFs>10）,而以地壳源为主的元素如Fe、Ti、Mn、Th等则富集较弱。主成分分析表明,不同重金属元素的污染来源存在差异;结合后向气团轨迹分析,推断藏东南地区雪冰元素含量不可避免地受到南亚地区人类活动排放污染物的显著影响。目前,藏东南地区冰川呈显著退缩状态,强烈的冰川消融可释放大量的重金属元素进入河流,可能对下游地区的人类生产生活以及生态系统产生重要影响。     

Retreat rates of debris-covered and debris-free glaciers in the Koshi River Basin,central Himalayas,from 1975 to 2010

Debris-covered glaciers are common in the Himalayas and play a key role in understanding future regional water availability and management. Previous studies of regional glacial changes have often neglected debris-covered glaciers or have mixed them with debris-free glaciers. In this study, we generated a new glacier data set that includes debris-covered and debris-free glaciers to study the glacial surface area change in the Koshi River Basin in the central Himalayas. Long time-series Landsat data were used to extract the glacier boundaries using automatic and manual classification methods. The glacial area decreased by 10.4% from 1975 to 2010 at a rate of 0.30% a^?1, with accelerated melting since 2000 (0.47% a^?1). Small glaciers melted faster than large glaciers. In terms of distinctive glacier types, debris-free glaciers shrank at a rate of 0.45% a^?1, faster than debris-covered glaciers (0.18% a^?1), while debris-covered glaciers larger than 5.0 km² retreated at a rate faster than debris-free glaciers of the same-sized group. We also studied the potential interactions between 222 supraglacial lakes and debris-covered glaciers. Debris-covered glaciers with glacial lakes melt faster than glaciers without lakes. This study can improve our understanding of the differences in the changes between debris-covered and debris-free glaciers in the central Himalayas and help evaluate water resource changes in the Himalayas.     

全球冰川面积现状及近期变化 ——基于2017年发布的第6版Randolph冰川编目

基于2017年发布的第6版Randolph冰川编目资料,结合全球16个主要冰川区近期发表的冰川变化研究文献,系统分析了全球冰川面积现状及其近期变化。结果表明,全球（不包括南极与格陵兰冰盖）共发育山地冰川215 547条,总面积达705 739 km²,面积相对误差为4.2%。冰川数量以面积等级<1 km²的冰川（79.15%）为主,冰川面积以面积等级≥100 km²的冰川（54.9%）为主。分布在北极的冰川面积（45.5%）最多,分布在南极周边岛屿的冰川面积（18.8%）次之,分布在高亚洲（13.8%）和阿拉斯加（12.3%）的冰川面积再次之。近50年间全球冰川经历了强烈退缩,16个主要冰川区面积退缩率达11.3%,1960年以来的冰川面积年均退缩率为0.35%。由于目前尚缺乏多期冰川编目可供比较,全球范围内冰川变化的定量研究仍将是今后研究的重点。

以2014—2015年的GF 1为主、少量OLI影像为基础,参考第二次中国冰川目录等文献资料,修编完成青海省和西藏自治区两省区的现代冰川编目,查明青藏两省区目前共有冰川24 796条,总面积约2624×104 km2,约占青藏两省区区域面积的137%,冰川储量为2027×103~2121×103 km3。调查区冰川数量以面积<10 km2、冰川面积介于10~100 km2之间的冰川为主,其中面积<10 km2的冰川有19 983条,占总数量的8059%,面积介于10~100 km2之间的冰川面积为11 96240 km2,占总面积的4559%;面积最大的中锋冰川的面积达23737 km2。调查区内的山系(高原)均有冰川分布,念青唐古拉山冰川数量最多,其次是喜马拉雅山和冈底斯山,这3座山系冰川数量占调查区内冰川总数量的6333%;念青唐古拉山、喜马拉雅山和昆仑山的冰川面积和冰储量位列前3位,其冰川面积和冰储量分别占总数的6809%和7344%;然而昆仑山和羌塘高原的单条冰川的平均面积大于念青唐古拉山和喜马拉雅山的平均面积。从冰川海拔分布来看,海拔5 000~6 500 m之间是冰川集中发育区域,约占调查区冰川数量和冰川总面积的85%以上。调查区的冰川在各流域的分布差异显著,恒河流域是冰川分布数量最多、面积最大的一级外流区,其数量占冰川总量的47%以上,面积占总面积的52%以上;青藏高原内陆流域的冰川数量、面积次之,其冰川数量占总数量的21%,面积占总面积的24%以上,并且内流区单条冰川的平均面积略大于外流区的平均面积。总体上,西藏的冰川数量、面积和冰储量分别占西藏和青海两省区的8492%、8492%、8668%,单条冰川的平均面积两省区相近。     

A model of Weichselian glacier variation in the North Atlantic region

The evidence for the extent and timing of Weichselian glaciation in Arctic regions shows that: (1) there were no major marine ice domes in the Arctic at 18,000 B.P. but that glaciers were relatively limited in extent; (2) there were no extensive ice shelves at 18,000 B.P. as envisaged by Hughes, Denton & Grosswald(1977); (3) the major periods of glacier expansion were between 125,000 and 80,000 B.P., just prior to 45,000 B.P., and between 11,000 and 8,000 B.P., and thus that glacier fluctuations at the southern margins of the Laurentide and Fennoscandian ice sheets were out of phase with those in the Arctic which advanced during southern interstadials. Phases of glacier advance in the Atlantic sector of the Arctic can be identified in deep sea cores by the peaks in concentration of iceberg-dropped detritus and an increase in sedimentation rates, which are highest when sub-polar water penetrates to the north. The key to the temporal pattern of Arctic glaciation and its association with oceanic changes is given by the intimate association of present-day Arctic glacierisation with the two major low pressure troughs which penetrate the Arctic in the Atlantic sector and in Baffin Bay. The chronology of glaciation in the Atlantic sector is associated with the activity of these troughs and the related oceanic circulation. Cooling of the Arctic due to reduction in solar radiation at the end of the last interglacial, when the pack ice lay north of 75d?N in the Atlantic, produced ideal conditions for Arctic glacier growth, with moisture transported by a strong cyclonic flux into a cooling Arctic from a strong North Atlantic Drift current. A positive feedback loop involving ocean and atmospheric circulation and pack ice, caused movement of the polar front to the south, thus slowly cutting off the supply of moisture to the Arctic. Further cooling at 75,000 B.P. caused a rapid extension of the polar front south of 45d?N, effectively cut off the northward movement of surface currents on the North Atlantic, and produced a strong zonal oceanic and atmospheric circulation which starved Arctic glaciers of nourishment and caused their retreat, and initiated rapid build up of the Fennoscandian and Laurentide ice sheets. Subsequent extensions of Arctic glaciers were associated with limited northward movement of sub-polar water and associated Atlantic depressions. The expansion of glaciers within the Arctic between 11,000 and 8,000 B.P. was associated with the first and diachronous penetration of moisture into a still cool Arctic during decay of the two great ice sheets.     

Snowmelt runoff and groundwater discharge in Himalayan rivers: a case study of the Satluj River,NW India

The Himalayas are one of the largest cryospheric systems outside the Polar Regions, and include more than 12,000 glaciers spread over an area of about 33,000 km². The Himalayan glaciers and snow packs retreating at an accelerating rate, thereby creating an alarming situation for the huge population that resides in northwestern India and southeastern Pakistan, as they depend on surface water resources in the region and rivers emanating from the Himalayas. This work attempts to quantify the contribution of different sources such as glacial/ice/snow melt and groundwater discharge to the Satluj River using the stable isotopes based hydrograph separation method at Ropar (foot hill) and Yusufpur in plain of Punjab, India. A mass balance model of three-component mixing has been engaged using the values of δ¹⁸O and electrical conductivity of the river water, and its discharge fraction, to estimate the time-varying relative proportion of each component from July 2013 to January 2014. The proportion of glacier melt was found to peak up to ~?64% at Ropar and ~?15% at Yusufpur during the wet summer months. The fraction of groundwater discharge was found to vary between 10–20% at Ropar and 25–35% at Yusufpur (Punjab plain) over time. The observed trend of d-excess (deuterium excess) values of river water also suggests that the glaciers and snow packs at higher altitudes contain a significant fraction of snow derived from vapor originating in the Mediterranean region, driven by the mid-latitude westerlies known as western disturbances.     

冰川表面冰尘洞内病毒研究进展

病毒在驱动生态系统高生物多样性形成以及生态系统营养物和有机物的循环过程中均发挥着重要的作用。冰川洞作为冰冻圈微生物活动的热点, 为病毒提供了特殊的生存环境, 驱使病毒产生了生存与适应机制。通过综述国际上近些年来关于冰川表面冰尘洞内病毒的主要研究成果, 内容涉及冰尘洞在冰川生态系统中的重要性, 冰尘洞内病毒的丰度与生产力, 冰尘洞内病毒的遗传多样性, 病毒与宿主的相互作用关系, 以及病毒对于冰尘洞碳循环和食物网的重要性。此外, 还总结了当前冰尘洞内病毒研究存在的空白： 形态多样性、 降解率、 分离培养、 冰川表面散落冰尘内病毒, 指出了未来研究需要重点关注的几个方面, 为进一步研究病毒对于冰尘洞生态系统的重要影响提供科学参考, 并且对青藏高原冰川表面冰尘洞内病毒未来的研究提出了展望。     

青藏高原东南部海洋型冰川物质平衡研究进展北大核心CSCD

青藏东南部海洋型冰川具有独特的气候敏感性,普遍呈现加速退缩趋势,这不仅影响区域水资源安全,而且伴生了相应的冰川灾害,是当前青藏高原冰冻圈变化研究的热点区域之一。本文对海洋型冰川物质平衡时空变化特征进行了综述,2000年以来冰川总体处于物质亏损状态,其平均物质平衡介于-0.66~-0.61m w.e.·a^(-1)之间;同时总结了海洋型冰川物质加速变化的驱动因素以及新特征。当前海洋型冰川物质平衡变化研究受观测数据缺乏和模型模拟不确定性等问题限制,尤其现有模型对冰面裂隙增多与扩张、冰崖-冰面湖-表碛相互作用、冰内冰下过程、冰崩、末端冰湖水-冰相互作用等过程的描述过于简化或基本缺失,其机理及影响仍存在较大的不确定性。未来需加强海洋型冰川物质平衡的综合监测,基于多数据和多方法的集成研究提高模型对冰川物质平衡多物理过程的耦合与模拟能力,为开展海洋型冰川物质变化的区域水资源效应和致灾效应研究奠定基础。     

Geochemical studies on Kashmir loess profiles

Major and trace element concentrations of a few representative loess profiles in Kashmir valley are studied using EDXRF spectroscopy. Principal component analysis for pattern recognition has been employed to study association between elemental concentration variations in various horizons. The present study reveals that elements related to clay illuviation (K, Rb, Fe, Ti, Mn) and plant activity (Cu, Zn) are generally higher in B horizon of the palaeosols whereas Ca and Sr have a high concentration in the loess layers. Such an elemental concentration variation provides us with an objective index for identification and confirmation of palaeosols. There is further a close association in the movement of (i) K, Rb, (ii) Fe, Ti, Mn, (iii) Cu, Zn and (iv) Ca, Sr. These clusters of elements are also present in modern soils, suggesting that the soil characteristics in palaeosols have been preserved. Concentration of iron and titanium is also observed to be higher in loess profiles on Pir Panjal mountain flank which is dominated by basic rocks, compared to profiles on Himalayan flank, suggesting that the loess in Kashmir might have been derived from the nearby rocks in a localized way.     

中国喜马拉雅山地区冰川1999—2015年期间动态变化遥感调查

根据完成的青藏地区基于1999年ETM、2014/2015年GF-1/OLI两期遥感调查的冰川编目数据,对1999-2015年期间中国喜马拉雅山地区的冰川变化进行分析。结果显示,从1999-2015年间,中国喜马拉雅山地区的冰川普遍退缩,冰川数量减少了85条,面积减少了42.00 km^2,冰储量减少了2.385 km^3,分别占其减少变化率的1.53%、0.67%和0.50%。沿山脉由东向西冰川变化不一,其中东段的冰川数量减少多,西段的冰川面积和冰储量减少多,并且东段的数量减少变化率远大于西段,西段的面积、冰储量减少变化率大于东段,中段的冰川相对稳定。喜马拉雅山地区的冰川在北、北东和东等方向上发生退缩,且减少量依次减少,其中东向的数量减少变化率最大,北东向的面积减少变化率最大,而北向的减少变化率最小。冰川在不同坡度退缩程度不一,在坡度10°~15°范围冰川面积退缩最多、变化率最大,在坡度30°~35°范围数量减少最多、变化率最大。冰川在高程5 500~6 000 m区间数量和面积退缩量最多,其次是在高程5 000~5 500 m区间;在高程3 500~4 000 m区间的退缩变化率最大,而在高程6 000~6 500 m区间的退缩变化率最小。不同流域中冰川变化差异较大,在雅鲁藏布江流域(5O2)冰川数量和面积减少最多,其次是朗钦藏布等流域(5Q2)和朋曲等流域(5O1),而扎日南木措流域(5Z3)的冰川减少量最小,但是变化率最大。总之,小冰川的大规模退缩或者消失,较大冰川也普遍退缩,是喜马拉雅山地区冰川变化的特点。喜马拉雅山地区冰川退缩与气候变化关系密切。根据多年年平均气温和年降水量分析,自1961年以来,该地区年平均气温显著上升,年降水量有增有减,但气温上升、降水量减少是导致冰川消融原因之一。     

喜马拉雅山脉近期上升的探讨

喜马拉雅山脉是地球上最高、最长大和最年青的山脉之一。它以宏伟的规模和巨大的海拔高度强烈地影响着我国西藏地区以至亚洲中部自然环境的变化。自1949年中华人民共和国成立以来,在毛主席和党中央的关怀下,曾对珠穆朗玛峰及邻近地区进行过多次考察。在无产阶级文化大革命的1966-1968年,又进行了珠峰地区多学科的科学考察。     

High-Field Strength Element Geochemistry of Mafic Intrusive Rocks from the Bhagirathi and Yamuna Valleys,Garhwal Himalaya,India

Incompatible high-field strength element geochemistry divides mafic intrusive rocks of Garhwal Himalaya, exposed in the Bhagirathi and Yamuna valleys, into two distinct types, viz. older Garhwal Mafic Intrusive Rocks (GMIR1) and younger Garhwal Mafic Intrusive Rocks (GMIR2). GMIR1 is mainly associated with the Central Crystallines, whereas, GMIR2 belongs to the Garhwal Group. They outcrop close to the Main Central Thrust (MCT) Zone and extend in a NW-SE direction, following the strike direction. Both types are metamorphosed to amphibolite facies and classified as sub-alkaline, high-Fe tholeiitic basalts. They are enriched in large-ion lithophile and high-field strength elements relative to a primitive mantle source. GMIR2 has higher concentrations of incompatible high-field strength elements than the GMIR1. Further, on multi-element spidergrams, GMIR1 samples do not show any elemental anomaly but GMIR2 samples show distinct negative Nb and Sr anomalies. GMIR1 multi-element and rare-earth element trends are similar to N-MORB, whereas, GMIR2 follows trends observed in the within plate basalts (continental flood basalts type). Discrimination diagrams, based on incompatible trace elements, corroborate the N-MORB nature of GMIR1 and CFB (WPB) nature of GMIR2. Geochemical modeling indicates that these mafic intrusive rocks were derived by close-system fractional crystallization of depleted (for GMIR1) to variably enriched parental basalts (for GMIR2). Probably these two contrasting mafic rock types have been juxtaposed during the Himalayan orogeny. Proterozoic mafic rocks of similar geochemical characteristics have been reported from different parts of the northern Indian lithosphere. Observed composition suggests its genetic association with the sub-continental lithosphere rather than effect of crustal contamination.     

Preliminary trace element analysis of arsenic in Nepalese groundwater may pinpoint its origin

Arsenic contamination of groundwater used as drinking water in South Asia poses a serious health threat to the inhabitants living on alluvial plains of the Himalayan foreland of countries like Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Myanmar. Although the geological and geochemical conditions favoring the release of the highly poisonous contaminant from the sediments hosting the groundwater are meanwhile quite well understood, there is still a significant debate about the origin of arsenic. The sediments forming a huge proportion of the Terai (lowlands of Nepal) aquifers are derived from two main sources, (i) sediments deposited by large rivers that erode the upper Himalayan crystalline rocks and (ii) weathered meta-sediments carried by smaller rivers originating in the Siwalik foothills adjacent to the Terai. In this article a so far underestimated source of As is discussed: the peraluminous leucogranites found ubiquitously in the Nepal Himalaya. The relationship between the trace elements analyzed in the groundwater in the Terai and trace elements found in such felsic rocks reflect the origin of the arsenic in the high Himalayas of Nepal. In addition to the high concentration of As, a striking feature is the presence of the lithophile trace elements like Li, B, P, Mn, Br, Sr and U in the groundwater. The mentioned elements point to a felsic initial source like metapelites or leucogranites—all rocks showing a high abundance of especially B, P and As as well as Cd and Pb.     

单向聚束质子激发X射线研究超导材料合成中的重力效应

采用质子激发Ｘ射线（ＰＩＸＥ）分析技术,以能量为２．０ＭｅＶ的质子束为激发源,利用单元四极磁透镜对带电粒子束的单向聚束本领,对超导材料样品ＣａＳｒ２Ｂｉ２Ｃｕ２Ｏ８进行了扫描ＰＩＸＥ分析,获得了其中元素Ｘ射线强度的垂向分布数据。在没有质子数数据参数的情况下,针对这种样品组成已知的特殊性,采用了内标迭代定量分析方法,获得了各元素的垂向浓度分布结果。强度和浓度数据均表明,元素Ｃａ主要分布在样品的顶部表层,证明人们关于超导材料合成过程中存在重力效应影响的推断是正确的。     

基于Landsat-8影像的北极地区入海冰川流速监测

Landsat-8 OLI因其空间分辨率较高、重复周期适中、高辐射分辨率、高图像获取率（图像质量）的特点,在北极地区大范围冰川流速监测研究中有较大优势。利用2017/2018年格陵兰岛、斯瓦尔巴群岛、北地群岛、法兰士约瑟夫地群岛、德文岛5处北极区域的Landsat-8全色波段数据,采用特征追踪方法提取入海冰川消融期流速。结合MEaSUREs冰川流速数据,分析了198条北极地区入海冰川流速的空间分布特征及其影响因素,同时探究了格陵兰岛Kangerlussuaq冰川流速随时间变化特征。结果表明：与北极其他区域相比,格陵兰岛前缘流速在5~10 m·d^-1及10~20 m·d^-1的入海冰川在数量上最多,最大流速达到了31.62 m·d^-1。而格陵兰岛内部的冰川流速存在差异,北海岸入海冰川平均流速最慢（1.99 m·d^-1）,东海岸平均流速（6.13 m·d^-1）大于西海岸（4.14 m·d^-1）。这种流速空间分布差异可能由冰川规模、冰床地势、海流作用、冰盖消融情况等多种因素共同导致。2018年3—10月期间,Kangerlussuaq冰川前缘流速为21.02~22.87 m·d^-1,整体流速为10.02~11.39 m·d^-1。冰川流速在6—7月和9—10月出现峰值,在8—9月出现低谷,主要缘于冰川融水导致的运动加速和冰川物质平衡变化。     

青藏高原雪冰中碳质气溶胶含量变化

文中采用供氧两步加热的方法对过滤到石英膜上的雪冰中碳质气溶胶含量进行分析,其中有机碳(OC)和元素碳(EC)分别在340和650℃的条件下进行热解、氧化分离,生成的CO2转化成CH4并由气相色谱仪氢火焰离子化检测器(FID)检测其含量。空白测试表明,该系统的OC本底值为(0·50±0·04)(1σ)μgC,EC为(0·38±0·04)(1σ)μgC。利用这套分析系统对青藏高原8条冰川的34个雪冰和降水样品中OC和EC的含量进行了测试。结果表明,在青藏高原雪冰中OC和EC含量自东向西、自北向南呈明显的下降趋势(西昆仑除外)。在高原东北部EC的质量分数相对较高,平均为79·2ng·g-1;在喜马拉雅西段EC的质量分数最低,平均为4·3ng·g-1。在冰川表面,雪的融化使雪冰中碳质气溶胶聚集,并导致其含量明显升高,该过程降低了雪表面的反照率,加速了冰川的消融。     

基于SAR影像的喜马拉雅山珠穆朗玛峰地区冰川运动速度特征及其影响因素分析

合成孔径雷达(synthetic aperture radar, SAR)具有其全天候、全天时、穿云透雾的工作能力, 广泛应用于山地冰川动态监测中. 利用2006年6-9月三期ALOS/PALSAR雷达影像, 采用偏移量跟踪技术, 提取了喜马拉雅山珠穆朗玛峰(珠峰)区域的冰川运动速度, 分析了区域内冰川运动速度空间差异及其影响因素. 结果表明: 研究区31条山谷冰川平均运动速度为9.3 cm·d^-1, 总体上以珠峰-洛子峰南北向山脊线为界限, 东侧和东南侧冰川日均运动速度(11.1 cm·d^-1)普遍高于北部和西北部冰川日均运动速度(5.4 cm·d^-1). 冰川消融区非表碛区冰川平均运动速度为表碛覆盖区平均运动速度的2.2倍, 冰面湖的发育在一定程度上加剧冰川运动速度波动. 在气候与非气候因子共同作用和相互间的此消彼长中, 研究区65%的冰川的运动速度自中值高度往下显著减小, 16%的冰川自中值高度往下呈显著增大趋势, 19%冰川消融区运动速度无显著变化趋势.     

Monitoring cryosphere and associated flood hazards in high mountain ranges of Pakistan using remote sensing technique

Knowledge of Himalayan cryosphere seems to be an outstanding requirement for assessment of glacier storage, water balance analysis, planning of water resources and flood hazard monitoring. A stepwise approach through mapping glaciers and glacial lakes using satellite remote sensing data and investigating potential glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) hazards was adopted for the three Hindukush, Karakoram and Himalayan (HKH) ranges of Pakistan. The findings of the study revealed 5,218 glaciers in the cryosphere of HKH ranges. The cumulative glacial cover of over 15,000 km² contains ice reserves of about 2,738 km³. About 46 % of the Karakoram glaciers are contributing 77 % to the total glacial cover and 87 % to the cumulative ice reserves of the country. The 33 % Himalayan glaciers and 21 % Hindukush glaciers contribute only 3 and 10 % ice reserves, respectively. Among 2,420 glacial lakes identified in the three HKH ranges, 52 were classified as critical lakes that can pose GLOF hazard for the downstream communities. Most of the potential hazardous lakes lie in the Karakoram and Himalayan ranges, the monitoring of which is crucial to reduce high risk of future floods hazard in this fragile mountain ecosystem of the Himalayan region.     

南极和北极地区在全球变化中的作用研究

近半个世纪的调查基本揭示了极地在地球系统中的作用。两极保持了世界 99%的冰川 ,相当于全球淡水的 78% ,全部融化将使地球海平面上升 70m。极区又是世界气候系统中最活泼的组成 ,通过其冰盖、大气和周围海域的强烈耦合过程而影响全球。同时 ,南极上空臭氧空洞的出现 ,北极地区冻土带的北移等都表明全球变化也在明显地影响着两极。中国 2 0年来对南极的考察过程中 ,建立两个南极科学考察站 ,拥有极地考察破冰船 ,1999年开展了中国首次北极科学考察 ,对南北极的区域特征及其在全球变化中的作用提出了新的认识。
