加拿大阿萨巴斯卡地区泥炭脂类分子记录的古气候信息

为了进一步了解泥炭中脂类分子化合物的分布与植被演化和气候变化的响应关系,对采自加拿大阿尔伯塔省东北部阿萨巴斯卡地区的JPH4、Mildred和McMurray泥炭柱样品中的脂类分子进行测定。根据正构烷烃、正烷酮、甾类和萜类等分子化合物的地球化学分析,结合年代学资料,重建了研究区近千年来的古气候演化过程。现代暖期以来(1990年以来),区内大范围的锈色泥炭藓发育,指示温暖干旱的气候条件;现代暖期早期(1900年以来),陆源高等植物和狭叶泥炭藓共存于干-湿交替的气候环境下;JPH4泥炭柱记录了小冰期期间寒冷干旱的气候环境,该时期莎草科等陆生维管植物发育;上述结论与前人记录的区域植被和气候变化具有较好的可比性。研究区发育的锈色泥炭藓种类特殊,多形成于干旱环境且具有C₃₁正构烷烃优势分布,ACL、P_aq、C₂₃/(C₂₇+C₃₁)正构烷烃指标能够有效表征植被输入特征和气候变化。正烷酮主要来源于相应正构烷烃的微生物氧化作用,正烷酮指标CPI-ket、ACL-ket和(K₂₃     

加拿大阿萨巴斯卡地区Mildred泥炭柱脂类化合物的组成特征

利用气相色谱-质谱联用仪(GC-MS)系统地分析了阿萨巴斯卡地区Mildred泥炭柱37个样品的脂类化合物,研究了它们的组成特征及可能来源。结果表明,样品中检出的正构烷烃、正烷酮、正烷醛、正烷醇、脂肪酸和脂肪酸甲酯均由高碳数化合物构成,并具明显的奇碳或偶碳优势,GC-MS质量色谱图中甾类和萜类极性化合物呈现显著的高峰。根据泥炭分子地球化学分析,Mildred泥炭柱沉积有机质主要来源于原地堆积的高等植物,苔藓类、水生植物对泥炭有机质也有一定程度的贡献,其中松柏、杜鹃花科等木本植物、莎草科草本植物以及泥炭藓类是主要的成炭植物。萜类和甾类极性化合物的分布存在明显差异,萜类化合物主要集中于剖面的上部,其形成与泥炭藓类植物存在联系;甾类化合物来源不具专属性,多与高等植物的输入有关,也可能是受微生物的改造作用而形成。     

晚全新世以来福建仙山泥炭钻孔的正构烷烃记录

通过对福建仙山泥炭钻孔中正构烷烃的分析,探讨了研究区近千年以来的气候特征。分析显示:正构烷烃分布范围主要为C16~C35,且以奇碳链为主,奇偶优势明显。正构烷烃与有机质含量(TOC)密切相关,在典型的泥炭层,TOC含量高,长碳链的C27,C29和C31正构烷烃占优势,揭示有机质主要来源于草本或木本等高等植物,盆地处于相对干的沉积环境; 在非泥炭层,TOC含量低,钻孔中多含粗砂或粉砂,中碳链的C21或C23正构烷烃占优势,揭示有机质主要来源于水生植物或苔藓植物,表明相对较湿的沉积环境。钻孔中正构烷烃 C23/C27 比值与前人提出的 C23/C29 和Paq.等参数呈同向变化,可以作为区域干-湿变化的代用指标。结合地层的年代序列,利用正构烷烃重建了区域距今1400年以来的植被演化和气候变化历史。结果显示,福建仙山地区气候存在3次相对湿润和4次相对较干的时段。在钻孔358~280cm(约公元600~910年),气候相对较干,在280~40cm(约公元910~1640年),降水较多,气候湿润,但中间存在两次变干的阶段; 在40~0cm(约公元1640年至今),降水相对较少,气候转干。TOC含量和正构烷烃 C23/C27 序列与南方旱涝频率序列、石笋和硅藻记录对比显示,研究区在中世纪暖期气候相对较干,而小冰期则相对湿润,揭示出仙山泥炭沉积记录的气候信息具有区域一致性,为认识季风在短时间尺度的变化特征提供了依据。

辽河西部凹陷古潜山原油及其源岩的分子碳同位素地球化学

以辽河西部凹陷潜山带原油及其源岩为例,系统研究了正构烷烃、异戊二烯烷烃、异构与反异构及藿烷系列化合物的碳同位素组成与分布特征,探讨了其相互关系及生源-环境因素的影响。各系列化合物的分子碳同位素组成的变化具有较好的相关性,反映了沉积体系中生源-环境因素的系统变化。应用各系列分子碳同位素组成相关分析有效地区分了不同潜山带原油的油源差异。原油正构烷烃较异戊二烯烷烃碳同位素偏正0.5‰～5.0‰、姥鲛烷较植烷偏正0.4‰～1.4‰,指示了甲烷生成菌对植烷的重要贡献;C21 长链异戊二烯烷烃较植烷系列碳同位素偏正0.5‰～2.0‰,表明其生源存在差异。异构及反异构烷烃与其他系列化合物碳同位素的对比显示了蓝细菌对这类化合物的重要贡献。C31 藿烷较C30藿烷富集13C达10‰～12‰,指示其生源不同,13C强烈损耗型C30藿烷(-61.2‰～-51.8‰)主要衍生于嗜甲烷菌,它们生存于Es4期强烈分层水体中的缺氧/有氧界面。Es3油源油中正构烷烃碳同位素特别偏正,且异构、反异构烷烃及藿烷碳同位素都明显偏正,综合反映了蓝细菌的重要贡献,而干酪根碳同位素明显偏正及4-甲基甾烷相对富集指示了沟鞭藻对沉积有机质的重要贡献。     

柴达木盆地咸湖相生油岩正构烷烃分布特征及其成因

柴达木盆地西部第三系咸水湖相生油岩样品分析资料表明，不同沉积相带生油岩正构烷烃系列有三种碳数分布模式。深湖相生油岩在C18－C28范围呈明显的偶碳数优势，而＞C28范围无碳数优势；滨浅湖相样品在整个碳数范围内呈奇碳数优势分布；过渡相带地层正构烷烃在中碳数范围呈偶碳数优势分布，而高碳数（＞C23）部分为奇碳数优势分布。经不同沉积相带样品之间的沉积环境地球化学指标和碳酸盐含量比较发现，本区咸湖相生油岩正构烷烃的分布不取决于沉积环境的氧化还原性和岩石的矿物组成，而主要与沉积相带中的有机质生源组成有关。偶碳数优势分布的正构烷烃成因并非如常规观点解释的那样，由正构脂肪酸、醇类的还原作用或经碳酸盐催化发生β断裂而来，而可能来源于咸化湖泊中的某种嗜盐细菌或其他微生物。     

银川盆地35ka以来古植被演化的类脂分子记录

n-Alkan-2-one distributions in a northeastern China peat core spanning the last 16 kyr

Most research on long chain methyl ketones has focused on their origins and distributions. Their application in paleoclimate studies is less common than that of other n-alkyl lipids. The goal of this research was to explore this potential by studying n-alkan-2-ones from the Hani peat sequence in northeastern China. They were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and showed a distribution ranging from C₁₉ to C₃₁ with a strong odd/even predominance. This type of distribution is considered to derive from Sphagum and microbial oxidation of n-alkanes. Comparison with climate sensitive indicators and macrofossil analysis shows that microbial oxidation of n-alkanes derived from higher plants was enhanced during the warm early Holocene period. This led us to develop three n-alkan-2-one proxies - C₂₇/ΣC_23-31 (C₂₇/HMW-KET), carbon preference index (CPI_H-KET) and average chain length (ACL_(27-31)-KET) - as possible indicators of paleoclimate in the peat-forming environment. These proxies, in combination with C₂₇n-alkane δD values and peat cellulose δ¹⁸O records, might allow examination of paleo-ecosystem behavior during climatic evolution in northeastern China over the past 16,000 yr.     

Evolution of organic matter indicators in response to major environmental changes: The case of a formerly cut-over peat bog (Le Russey, Jura Mountains, France)

To assess whether the biochemical characteristics of peat can provide clues for past ecosystem changes or not, a study was carried out combining elemental analysis, micro-morphological counts and neutral monosaccharide determination of peat organic matter (OM) and the dominant living plants from a formerly cut-over peat bog in the Jura Mountains. Peat profiles (up to 50 cm depth) from two distinctive zones (bare peat, FRA and a regenerating stage, FRC) were compared with the reference profile (FRD) taken from an unexploited area of the bog. The results show contrasting OM composition along the profiles. In the upper sections of the FRD and FRC profiles, high C/N ratios and sugar contents (in the same range as in the source plants) and the large predominance of well preserved plant tissues indicate good preservation of primary biological inputs. In contrast, in peat from the FRA profile and deeper levels of the FRC profile, lower C/N ratios, lower amounts of sugars and a predominance of amorphous OM and mucilage suggest more extensive OM degradation. These features delineate a clear threshold between an uppermost “new” regenerating peat section and an “old” catotelm peat below. Nevertheless, even in the latter, the sugar contents remain relatively high (>80 mg/g) compared with other organic and mineral soils. Analysis of typical peat-forming plants and of bulk peat and fine grained fractions allowed identification of the following source indicators: xylose and arabinose for Cyperaceae; rhamnose, galactose and mannose for mosses; and ribose (and to a lesser extent, hemicellulosic glucose) possibly for microbial synthesis.     

n-Alkan-2-ones in peat-forming plants from the Roñanzas ombrotrophic bog (Asturias, northern Spain)

We determined the distribution of lipids (n-alkanes and n-alkan-2-ones) in present-day peat-forming plants in the Roñanzas Bog in northern Spain. Consistent with the observation of others, most Sphagnum (moss) species alkanes maximized at C₂₃, whereas the other plants maximized at higher molecular weight (C₂₇ to C₃₁). We show for the first time that plants other than seagrass and Sphagnum moss contain n-alkan-2-ones. Almost all the species analysed showed an n-alkan-2-one distribution between C₂₁ and C₃₁ with an odd/even predominance, maximizing at C₂₇ or C₂₉, except ferns, which maximized at lower molecular weight (C₂₁-C₂₃). We also observed that microbial degradation can be a major contributor to the n-alkan-2-one distribution in sediments as opposed to a direct input of ketones from plants.

Origin and fluxes of atmospheric REE entering an ombrotrophic peat bog in Black Forest (SW Germany): Evidence from snow, lichens and mosses

The fate of the Rare Earth Elements (REE) were investigated in different types of archives of atmospheric deposition in the Black Forest, Southern Germany: (1) a 70 cm snow pack collected on the domed part of a raised bog and representing 2 months of snow accumulation, (2) a snow sample collected close to the road about 500 m from the peat bog, (3) two species of lichens and (4) a peat profile representing 400 years of peat accumulation as well as a “preanthropogenic” sample and the living moss layer from the top of the core. REE concentrations in peat are significantly correlated to Ti which is a lithogenic conservative element suggesting that REE are immobile in peat bog environments. Snow, lichens and peat samples show similar PAAS (Post Archean Australian Shale) normalized REE distributions suggesting that the complete atmospheric REE signal is preserved in the peat profile. However, the annual flux of REE accumulated by the peat is ca. 10 times greater than that of the bulk winter flux of REE. This difference probably indicates that the REE concentrations in the snowpack are not representative of the average REE flux over the whole year. Despite the pronounced geological differences between this site (granite host-rock) and a previously studied peat bog in Switzerland (limestone host-rock) similar REE distribution patterns and accumulation rates were found at both sites. Given that both sites confirm an Upper Continental Crust signature, the data suggests both sites are influenced by regional and not local, soil-derived lithogenic aerosols.     

古龙南地区低阻油层胶结指数和饱和度指数影响因素实验

采用变胶结指数m和饱和度指数n的阿尔奇公式仍是目前定量评价低阻油层饱和度的主要方法之一。然而,由于不同地区低阻油层的成因不同,从而使得低阻油层m和n的影响因素随地区不同而发生变化。因此,针对不同地区低阻油层,有必要研究其阿尔奇公式m和n的影响因素及变化规律。依据古龙南地区葡萄花低电阻率油层划分标准以及考虑岩性、物性、电性变化,选取了低阻油层岩样,设计了岩样岩石物理实验。基于岩石物理实验数据,绘制m和n与物性参数、孔隙结构参数、黏土附加导电能力参数的交会图。经分析可知：低阻油层的m和n值小于常规油层的m和n值,并随孔渗综合指数、中值半径、平均半径、半径均值的增大而增大。低阻油层的m值随泥质体积分数、阳离子交换容量、微孔隙体积与可动流体体积之比的增大而减小,随核磁共振测量的T₂几何平均值的增加而增大;n值随孔隙度、孔隙度和泥质体积分数比值的增加而增大。低阻油层的m值与T₂几何平均值、微孔隙体积与可动流体体积之比关系较好,n值与孔渗综合指数、平均半径、最大半径、半径均值的相关性非常好。研究表明,低阻油层的m值受孔隙结构和泥的影响较大,而n受孔隙结构影响较大。可用T₂几何平均值或微孔隙体积与可动流体体积之比确定低阻油层的m值,可用孔渗综合指数、平均半径、最大半径、半径均值确定低阻油层的n值。     

Effect of climate change on delivery and degradation of lipid biomarkers in a Holocene peat sequence in the Eastern European Russian Arctic

Lipid biomarkers from a peat plateau profile from the Northeast European Russian Arctic were analyzed. The peat originated as a wet fen ca. 9 ka BP and developed into a peat bog after the onset of permafrost ca. 2.5 ka BP. The distributions and abundances of n-alkanols, n-alkanoic acids, n-alkanes, n-alkan-2-ones and sterols were determined to study the effect of degradation on their paleoclimate proxy information. Plant macrofossil analysis was also used in combination with the lipid distributions. The n-alkanol and n-alkanoic acid distributions in the upper part of the sequence generally correspond to compositions expected from plant macrofossil assemblages. Their carbon preference index (CPI) values increase with depth and age, whereas those of the n-alkanes decrease. The different CPI patterns suggest that n-alkanoic acids and n-alkanols deeper in the sequence may be produced during humification through alteration of other lipids. Excursions in the n-alkanoic acid content also suggest an important contribution of invasive roots to the lipid biomarker composition. The CPIs associated with these compounds show that under permafrost conditions organic material from Sphagnum is better preserved than material from vascular plants. Increasing stanol/stenol ratio values and decreasing n-alkane CPI values indicate progressive degradation of organic matter (OM) with depth. The n-alkan-2-one/n-alkane and n-alkan-2-one/n-alkanoic acid ratios were shown to be useful proxies that can reflect the degree of OM preservation and suggest that both microbial oxidation of n-alkanes and decarboxylation of n-alkanoic acids produce n-alkan-2-ones in this peat sequence.     

Early Permian coal-forming floras preserved as compressions from the Wuda District (Inner Mongolia,China)

Four different compression/impression floras are preserved in only 4.32 m of the geologic section in the Early Permian Shanxi Formation of the Wuda District of Inner Mongolia, northwestern China. These floras represent four different plant communities and landscapes that followed each other in time. The oldest flora was rooted in sandy clay and initiated peat accumulation that lead to the formation of the lower coal seam. This seam is 230-cm thick and overlain by a 66-cm thick volcanic tuff that preserves a second different flora that grew on the peat at the time of the ash-fall. Standing stems and large plant parts are present. The upper part of the tuff is rooted by a single species of lycopsid (the third flora) again initiating peat accumulation. On top of this second seam of 120 cm thickness rests a roof-shale, deposited as mud in a shallow lake, the formation of which was responsible for the cessation of peat deposition. This fourth flora represents the plants growing around the lake on clastic substrate. Four different environments followed each other in this locality over a geologically short time span and each time conditions prevailed to preserve plant macrofossils. Three of these floras represent peat-forming plant communities of essentially the same time interval. This demonstrates the great variability of vegetation and landscapes in the tropical Cathaysian realm of the Late Paleozoic.
