摘 要: | 首次提出用石笋中稳定同位素记录重建由降雨量和降水气团同位素组成所反映的古气候历史,从而为研究高分辨率的古季风气候信息开辟了新的途径。利用Hendy准则、洞穴温度、研究区水系的δ18OH2O值以及温度公式,证实了同位素分析结果的可靠性,CaCO3-H2O之间存在同位素平衡分馏。对采自石花洞的石笋样品进行了分辨率约为25a的δ18O和δ13C的分析测量,从而得到3000a以来,北京地区古气候和古环境的变化信息

ISOTOPE STUDIES OF SHIHUA CAVE-Ⅲ:RECONSTRUCTION OF PALEOCLIMATE AND PALEOENVIRONMENT OF BEIJING DURING THE LAST 3 000 YEARS FROM &delta|18 O AND &delta|13 C RECORDS IN STALAGMITE |

Abstract: | Unlike low resolution (>1 000 years) δ 18 O record which mostly indicates temperature change in the past, variations of high resolution (<100 years) δ 18 O record of stalgmite mainly reflect changes in rainfall and the isotopic compition of moisture source in the study area. The δ 13 C value of speleothem is mainly controlled by isotope composition of soil CO 2that consists of isotopic composition of C 3and C 4plants. The C 3/C 4ratio is strongly correlated with climatic change. When the δ 18 O and δ 13 C shift to more negative values, the ratio of C 3/C 4indicates wet climate increased precipitation, development of forest. All those climatic conditions may indicate summer monsoon strengthening in the study area. This thoutht provides a new approach to reconstruct high resolution paleomonsoon records. We have first demonstrated this new idea throughout a series studies in Shihua Cave, Beijing. A 12.5cm stalagmite was subsampled at 1mm interval (~25 years resolution) and 109 samp |
