Vegetation and climate change since 14,810 C yr B.P. in southeastern Uruguay and implications for the rise of early Formative societies

This article presents a combined pollen and phytolith record of a 1.70-m sediment core from the wetlands of India Muerta (33° 42′ S, 53° 57′ W) in the lowland Pampa (grasslands) of southeastern Uruguay. Six ¹⁴C dates and the pollen and phytolith content of the samples permitted the recognition of four distinct climatic periods between 14,850 ¹⁴C yr B.P. and the present. The Late Pleistocene period (between ca. 14,810 and ca. 10,000 ¹⁴C yr B.P.) was characterized by drier and cooler conditions indicated by the presence of a C3-dominated grassland. These conditions prevailed until the onset of the warmer and more humid climate of the Holocene around 9450 ¹⁴C yr B.P. The early Holocene (between around 10,000 and 6620 ¹⁴C yr B.P.) was characterized by the establishment of wetlands in the region as evidenced by the formation of black peat, the increase in wetland taxa, and the replacement of C3 Pooideae by C4 Panicoideae grasses. During the mid-Holocene, around 6620 ¹⁴C yr B.P., began a period of environmental change characterized by drier climatic conditions, which resulted in the expansion of halophytic communities in the flat, low-lying areas of the wetlands of India Muerta. About 4020 ¹⁴C yr B.P. a massive spike of Amaranthaceae/Chenopodiaceae coupled with a radical drop in wetland species indicates another major and more severe period of dryness. After ca. 4000 ¹⁴C yr B.P., a decrease of halophytic species indicates the onset of more humid and stable climatic conditions, which characterized the late Holocene.The findings reported in this article substantially improve our knowledge of the late Glacial and Holocene climate and vegetation in the region. The data provide a detailed record of the timing and severity of mid-Holocene environmental changes in southeastern South America. Significantly, the mid-Holocene drying trend coincided with major organizational changes in settlement, subsistence, and technology of the pre-Hispanic populations in the region, which gave rise to early Formative societies. This study also represents the first combined pollen and phytolith record for southeastern South America reinforcing the utility of phytoliths as significant indicators of long-term grassland dynamics.     

An obliquity-controlled Early Pleistocene river terrace record from Western Turkey?

Investigation of the Pleistocene sequence of the Gediz River, Western Turkey, has revealed a record of Early Pleistocene river terraces. Eleven terraces spanning the interval from 1.67 to 1.245 million years ago (MIS 59–37) are preserved beneath basaltic lava flows. The high number of terraces over this short time period reflects high-frequency sedimentation/incision cycles preserved due to the fortuitous combination of relatively high uplift rates (0.16 mm yr⁻¹) and progressive southwards valley migration. Comparison of this record with ODP967 from the Eastern Mediterranean Basin suggests a link between the production of terraces and obliquity-driven 41,000 year climate cycles in the Early Pleistocene.     

Influence of Climate Change on Winter Wheat Growth in North China During 1950-2000

1. IntroductionChinese agriculture has undergone tremendousstructural changes over the last decades. The averagestaple crop productivity has doubled in 25 yr while thepopulation increased by 25 % [China Statistical Year-book (CSY), 2003]. Winter wheat is one of China'smost important staple food crops, with a total farm-ing area of nearly 24 million hectares and a produc-tion exceeding 92 million ton in 2002 (CSY, 2003).Although China has been the world's largest wheatproducer since 1983 (…

Early Miocene lamproite from the Colorado Plateau tectonic province, Southeastern Utah, USA

Newly discovered olivine phlogopite lamproite dikes intrude Jurassic siliciclastic strata in the Green River Desert subregion of the western Colorado Plateau tectonic province in southeastern Utah. The dikes yield an age of 22 Ma both from ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar step-heating of phlogopite and from isochron modeling of laser-fused sanidine. This age is similar to those of mica-rich minettes and melanephelinites of the Wasatch Plateau about 125 km northwest and within the age range of the Navajo potassic volcanic field about 150 km to the southeast. The dikes intruded a pre-existing, northwest-oriented fracture system containing previously introduced bitumen, indicating that some regional lineaments of this trend are Early Miocene or older. The dikes are highly LREE-enriched, and display lamproite-specific REE ratios and phlogopite and sanidine compositions. Incompatible element and radiogenic isotope (Nd–Sr–Pb) ratios suggest that lithospheric source material modified by ancient subduction processes, together with younger asthenospheric source components, produced the melt. Timing of the intrusion coincides with the transition from Early–Middle Cenozoic, calc-alkaline plutonism to the dominantly mafic, Basin and Range type volcanism of the Late Cenozoic. While the lamproite occurrence indicates thermal input from the mantle, model non-uniqueness for both magma source depths and geophysical structure prevents quantitative comparison of Early Miocene with present-day lithospheric thickness.     

鄂尔多斯盆地早古生代波状构造及其古地理意义

波动是地质作用的基本形式之一,地壳的波状运动和变形是客观存在的。用波动论对鄂尔多斯盆地早古生代构造、沉积与古地理进行了探讨,将鄂尔多斯及邻区早古生代波状构造单元划分为 :阴山波谷带、伊盟波峰带、中部波谷带、渭北波峰带、北秦岭波谷带、阿拉善波峰带、贺兰波谷带、中央隆起波峰带、东部波谷带、苛兰波峰带。东部波谷带与中部波谷带的复合形成了东部波谷复合区。早奥陶世马家沟期东部盐洼区就是该波谷复合区的产物。在该复合区还形成鄂尔多斯盆地最为重要的下古生界烃源中心。中央古隆起波峰带与中部波谷带相复合形成定边波峰波谷复合区,使得中央古隆起在定边一带呈现出鞍状形态,从而合理解释了中央古隆起向北延伸至定边一带“断掉了”这一现象。
