Palaeomagnetics and igneous activity of the area adjoining the south-westem margin of the Cuddapah basin, India

Summary. Fifty-six orientated samples were collected from 13 sites on five dolerite dykes (between lat.14°23°N, long.77°43'E and lat.14°08'N, long. 77°49'E), which adjoin the south-western margin of the Cuddapah basin in Anantapur district, Andhra Pradesh. After af demagnetization, two dykes (five sites) striking ENE possess similar magnetic directions, (1) D = 57°, 1=-69° (K = 52, α₉₅= 7°) and (2) D = 71°, I = -72° ( K = 260, α₉₅= 5°). Again dykes (3) (three sites), and (4) (two sites) have similar strike (NE) and magnetic directions, D = 64°. I=-7 α( K = 142, α₉₅ = 8°) and D = 53°, I =-8° (K = 142, α₉₅= 6°) and dyke (5) (two sites) striking NW shows D = 320°, I = -34° ( K = 68, α₉₅= 13°). Remanent directions estimated from total field magnetic anomaly data agree well with these results. Synthesis of these data with 10 other published palaeomagnetic studies of Precambrian dolerite dykes on the Indian peninsula, suggest that these three systems of dykes adjoining the Cuddapah basin had been emplaced prior to the basin formation perhaps representing the initial thermal event responsible for the basin development and also that there have been at least three separate periods of dyke emplacement on this shield. The radiometric data, however, are very sparse and these periods cannot be dated with confidence.     

塔里木盆地南缘沉积物磁化率、δ13C与粒度及其气候环境意义

本文研究表明,塔里木盆地南缘湖沼相沉积物质量磁化率与碳酸盐δ¹³C呈正相关关系,与粒度参数中056～3557μm各组分呈显著负相关,其中同1783～3170μm部分负相关性最为显著;与5637～2244μm之间各组分显著正相关,其中与7096～200μm各组分正相关性最为显著。其气候环境背景与意义表现为:在寒冷期中,δ¹³C偏轻,相对湿度和植被盖度增加,地表侵蚀减弱,只有较细物质才能向湖泊沼泽搬运加积,地表氧化环境减弱,磁化率减小;而在温暖期中,则相反。在区域对比基础上,根据上述指标将近40ka以来此地区气候环境变化划分了8个阶段。本文的各种指标（特别是粒度指标）与GreenlandGISP2冰芯δ¹⁸O记录之间有很好的吻合,表明研究区近40ka以来的气候与环境变化可能具有全球背景。     

中国南方红壤丘陵区植被净初级生产力空间分布及其与气候因子的关系——以江西省泰和县为例

植被净初级生产力(NPP)对气候变化的响应研究是全球变化研究的核心内容之一。在区域尺度上研究NPP年际间的空间变化规律,探究气候因子与植被生长的关系,是应对气候变化区域响应、探讨区域生态过程的科学基础。基于SPOT VEGETATION NDVI植被指数数据、气候和植被分类数据,利用光能利用率模型(CASA)估算了中国南方红壤丘陵区泰和县1998-2012年植被NPP,分析了NPP时空分布特征及其与气候因子的相关性。结果表明:1 1998-2012年泰和县植被年均NPP为762 g C/m2·a,不同植被类型差异明显,空间上表现出东西高、中间低的分布特征;2 1998-2012年泰和县植被NPP总体呈增长趋势,年际波动较大,平均值为2.21×106g C/a;3研究区NPP与年降水量呈不显著正相关关系,与年均气温呈显著负相关关系,表明温度是影响该地区植被NPP的主要气候因子。
