Photoluminescence properties of thenardite from Ai-Ding Salt Lake,Xinjiang, China

The photoluminescence (PL) spectra, excitation spectra, and PL decay curves of natural, heat-treated, and γ-ray-irradiated thenardites from Ai-Ding Salt Lake, Xinjiang, China, were studied. The natural thenardite under 300 nm excitation showed milk-white luminescence, and the PL spectrum consisted of an extremely broad band with a peak located at approximately 509 nm, spreading over a wide range of UV and visible wavelengths. The excitation spectra, obtained by monitoring the luminescence at 530 nm, consisted of a broad band with a peak located at approximately 235 nm and a flat band spreading over a wide range of UV and visible wavelengths. The PL decay curve of natural thenardite consisted of a fast-decay component with a lifetime of less than 0.1 μs and a slow-decay component with a half-decay time of approximately 0.4 s. The heat treatment of thenardite at 900°C for 20 min reduced the luminescence efficiency to 1/100. The γ-ray irradiation of thenardite reduced the luminescence efficiency to approximately half.     

罗布泊干盐湖钙芒硝形貌特征及生长影响因素

钙芒硝是罗布泊干盐湖沉积的主要盐类矿物,是该区富钾卤水的储存载体并可能对富钾卤水的形成与演化过程起到重要作用。罗布泊干盐湖钙芒硝大量堆积,呈"杂乱状"产生蜂窝状孔隙,构成了主要储卤空间。根据野外观察和室内分析,对罗布泊干盐湖钙芒硝相的特征形态进行研究,厘定出钙芒硝单晶体主要有菱形Ⅰ、菱形Ⅱ及长板状3种特征形态。罗北西部的钙芒硝晶体主要为洁净程度不高、颗粒粗大的菱形Ⅰ、Ⅱ,次为中晶长板状,其处于湖盆边界相对动荡的浅水环境下及受到强烈蒸发作用而快速结晶析出。罗北凹地内的钙芒硝晶体为洁净程度较高的中细晶长板状晶体,其沉积环境则被解释为位于湖盆中部的静水深水条件下缓慢结晶形成。通过对钙芒硝晶体形貌与沉积环境的条件研究认为,不同晶体形态及形态组合的钙芒硝是湖盆不同位置的湖水在干热气候条件下蒸发沉积的产物。

Origin of Boron in the Gas Hure Salt Lake of NorthwesternQaidam Basin,China: Evidence from Hydrochemistry andBoron Isotopes

The Gas Hure Salt Lake(GHSL) in the northwestern Qaidam Basin, western China, is rich in boron(B)resources, but its B-resource origin is hardly known. Hydrochemical compositions and B isotope characteristics of different waters were collected around the GHSL, including the river water, stream water, spring water, salt-lake brine,intercrystalline brine, well water, drilling brine, and solar pond brine. The hydrochemical signatures suggest that silicates,carbonates and evaporates are the main B-bearing rocks during the water dynamic. The reservoir estimation of B resources shows that the Kulamulekesay River(KLMR) and the Atekan River(ATKR) contribute annually 18.3 tons and 22.84 tons of B, respectively, with a total amount of 11.72 × 10~4 tons of B during the past 5.7 ka. In comparison with the known B reservoir(32.96 × 10~4 tons) in the GHSL, a significant amount of B in the GHSL was probably recharged from deep fluids and sediments around the GHSL. The B concentration and B-enrichment degree are shaped by the evaporation process,which are highly elevated at the carnallite and bischofite stages.

Ancient Microorganisms and Carotenoids Preserved in Fluid Inclusions in Halite from Chaka Salt Lake,Western China: Evidence from Micro-observation and in situ Raman Spectroscopy

Trapped ancient microorganisms in halite fluid inclusions are of special interest to the understanding of biology and ecology in salt lake systems.With the integration of petrologic,microthermometric,and Raman spectroscopic analyses,this study utilizes fluid inclusions from Chaka Salt Lake,eastern Qaidam Basin,NW China,to assess the possibility of microorganism-trapping by fluid inclusions.Here,we report that the solid phase of some primary fluid inclusions contains carotenoids,which is interpreted as evidence of Dunaliella algae,and that the coexisting liquid phase comprises SO_4~(2-).The homogenization temperatures of single-phase primary fluid inclusions indicate that the precipitation temperature of the Holocene halite in Chaka Salt Lake ranges from 13.5°C to 36.4°C.This suggests that fluid inclusions in halite are a good medium for trapping and preserving ancient microorganisms and organic matter in salt lakes,and that Raman spectroscopy has good potential to identify halophilic archaea.

Temporal and Spatial Distribution of Elements in a Small Catchment, and Buffer Function of Wetland in Longgan Lake, China

Wetland is the conjunction of lake and terrene where human activities are concentrated. From the viewpoints of material transport and cycling in the terrene-lake system, wetland is the buffer where sand and mud, heavy metals, pollutants and nutrients are tarried. In this paper, we provide a case study based on the temporal and spatial distribution of elements in the Wangling River catchment, a small sub-catchment of Longgan Lake in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. We have found that wetland can buffer major heavy metals such as Cr, Cu, etc.significantly, but has a little buffer function to some active elements such as Fe and Mn, which are always transported as solutions. Human activities not only influence the distribution of elements, but also weaken the buffer function of wetland. Intensive human activities in the Longgan Lake area in the past 70 years have been recorded in stream, wetland and lake sediments, especially the human activity events such as deforesting and reclaiming on a large scale in 1958 and the 1980‘s. Human activities caused the increase of sedimentation rates since the 1950‘ s, as well as the increase of elements‘ concentrations. The extensive use of fertilizers and pesticides since the 1960‘ s have led to the increase of total P concentrations. Increasing SO2 emission accelerate the process of cation exchange in soil, and enhance the leaching of Mn out of soils. Permanent storing of water causes the soil gleyification that also intensifies the leaching of Mn.These are two major reasons for the obvious increase of manganese concentrations in recent 20 years in Longgan Lake. Intensive human activities since the 1950s‘ have intensified the population in this region and thus destroyed the buffer function of wetland.

中国中部全新世古地磁长期变和相对古强度研究

高分辨率的古地磁场长期变（Paleomagnetic Secular Variation,简称PSV）和相对古强度（Relative Paleomagnetic Intensity,简称RPI）研究是解决全新世湖泊研究定年难题的有效途径之一,也能为认识区域古地磁场的变化提供不可或缺的基础数据。然而,目前我国中部地区仍缺少年代序列可靠、时间分辨率在百年尺度的全新世PSV和RPI记录。先前的研究显示山西宁武公海全新世岩芯具有稳定的粉砂质粘土湖泊沉积,并通过25个（本文在全新世时段用到18个）陆生植物残体AMS ¹⁴C测年建立了可靠的高分辨率年代序列,为重建高质量的全新世PSV和RPI记录提供了良好条件。本文通过特征剩磁磁倾角的变化建立了PSV序列,利用磁化率（χ）、非磁滞剩磁（ARM）、饱和等温剩磁（SIRM）等环境磁学参数对特征剩磁强度（NRM_25mT）进行归一化,估算了RPI变化序列。结果表明,公海全新世湖泊沉积物的PSV和RPI记录与北半球其他湖泊和海洋记录具有较好的一致性,同时存在着显著的区域差异,可以作为我国中部地区湖泊沉积的对比曲线。

     

Holocene climate reconstructions of Ulungur Lake (Xinjiang,China) inferred from ostracod species assemblages and stable isotopes

In this paper, the data on the paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental changes during the Holocene are presented and a discussion is made on a 225-cm-long sediment core from Ulungur Lake, located in Northwest China. The chronology is constructed from six AMS radiocarbon dates on the bulk organic matter. On the basis of the analysis of ostracod assemblages and the shell stable isotopes, the core is divided into three paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental evolution stages: 9 985–5 250 cal.aB.P. stage is the wettest phase of the core section. The climate changed from moderate-dry to cool-wet, and then to warm-wet in turn, and the lake level rose accordingly, showing the characteristic of a high lake level. 5 250–1 255 cal.aB.P. stage was the driest phase of the core sediment. The climate turned from the early warm-dry to the late warm-wet and the lake level fell and rose again. Finally, the 1 255 cal.aB.P. stage was the medium stage of the section. The temperature was low and then increased after the 1920s and the climate was dry. The whole climatic and environmental evolution records of Lake Ulungur were not only in agreement with the sporopollen record of the same core but also in agreement with the record of environmental changes of adjacent areas. It responded to regional environmental changes and global abrupt climate events, following the westerly climate change mode on 100-year-scale, primarily with cold-wet and warmdry characteristics. __________ Translated from Quaternary Sciences, 2007, 27(3):382–391 [译自:第四纪研究]     

Concentrations and contamination trends of heavy metals in the sediment cores of Taihu Lake,East China,and their relationship with historical eutrophication

To assess the contamination trends and potential bio-availability of sediment-bound heavy metals, concentrations of heavy metals in acid-leaching fraction and in bulk sediments from the two typical bays (the Meiliang Bay and Xuhu Bay) of the Taihu Lake, East China, were studied. Pb and Zn showed elevated concentrations in the sediments from both areas, although sedimentation history and degree of pollution are different between the two bays. In the Meiliang Bay, both Pb and Zn pollutions started in the late 1970’s, the same time as the beginning of eutrophication of the lake, while the in the Xuhu Bay the metal contamination started since recent 10 years. The concentrations of acid-leachable Pb in the sediments from the Meiliang Bay are correlated with the historical eutrophication process. Before the eutrophication and heavy metal pollution, the chemical properties of the lake sediments were the same as the source compositions of the Xiashu loess. Both Pb and Zn in the sediments mainly occur in leachable forms by nitric or hydrochloric acid, whilst most of Cu is in residual fraction. The results indicate that both Pb and Zn may have higher mobility and bioavailability in water and biology than Cu.     

Coupling between Pbex and organic matter in sediments of a nutrient-enriched lake: An example from Lake Chenghai, China

Sediment cores were collected from deep-water areas of Lake Chenghai, China in June 1997. The vertical profile of ¹³⁷Cs activity gives reliable geochronological results. The results also indicate that sediment accumulation rates in deep-water areas of Lake Chenghai were relatively constant in recent decades, averaging 0.43 g cm^− 2 y^− 1, despite a variable organic carbon influx. ²¹⁰Pb_eq (= ²²⁶Ra) activity was relatively constant also, with an average value of 54.3 ± 3.2 Bq kg^− 1. Vertical profiles of ²¹⁰Pb_ex (= ²¹⁰Pb_total − ²²⁶Ra) decreased exponentially, resulting in somewhat lower sediment accumulation rates (0.3 g cm^− 2 y^− 1). These lower rates are likely less reliable, as the relatively large fluctuations in ²¹⁰Pb_ex activities correlate closely to the organic carbon (C_org) content of the sediments. For example, the vertical profile of ²¹⁰Pb_ex activity displays peaks at mass depths of 3.7-4.7 g cm^− 2 (10-12 cm) and 10-11 g cm^− 2(25-28 cm), similar to the maxima in the vertical profile of C_org. This phenomenon must be related to the delivery of particulate organic matter (POM) from the water to the sediments, or to watershed soil erosion. Since the mean atomic ratios of H_org / C_org and C_org / N_org in Lake Chenghai sediments are 5.5 and 7.0, respectively, indicating that POM was predominantly derived from the remains of authigenic algae, this eliminates watershed erosion rates as a primary control on lake sedimentation rates as resolved by ²¹⁰Pb_ex. Sedimentation fluxes (F(C_org)) of particulate organic carbon since 1970 varied between 60 to 160 g m^− 2 y^− 1, and appeared to closely influence variations in ²¹⁰Pb_ex concentrations. For example, sedimentation fluxes of ²¹⁰Pb_ex (F(²¹⁰Pb_ex)) showed maxima in the years 1972-1974 and 1986-1989, likely reflecting historical variations of lake biological productivity or carbon preservation.
