Discussion on geobiology, biogeology and geobiofacies

Here we first discuss the definition of and the difference between geobiology and biogeology following a brief introduction of recent geobiology research in China. Geobiology is defined as an interdisciplinary study of life sciences and earth sciences, and biogeology as an interdisciplinary study of biology and geology. Scope of the term geobiology covers that of the term biogeology. Branch interdisciplines of both are listed. We then propose the term geobiofacies, defined as the facies of a geologic body embodying the whole process of interaction between organisms and environments. Differences among geobiofacies, biofacies, and organic facies are discussed. Main parameters defining a geobiofacies include habitat type, biotic composition and productivity, paleo-oxygenation regimes, and early diagenesis phases. Each of them is discussed in detail, and a semi-quantitative assessment of the biogeofacies of source rocks is proposed based on these parameters. A two-fold terminology for geobiofacies is recommended, namely, the biological and environmental aspects of biota and the redox conditions during life-burial-diagenesis process     

Relationship between nitrogen deposition and LUCC and its impact on terrestrial ecosystem carbon budgets in China

Increased nitrogen(N) deposition and land-use and land-cover change(LUCC) have influenced the terrestrial ecosystem carbon budget in China over the past few decades.However,the coupling effects of N deposition and LUCC on the carbon cycle remain unclear.This study first evaluated the effects of LUCC on N deposition based on estimated N deposition data from NO_2 column remote sensing data and the GlobeLand30 LUCC dataset,and then assessed the coupling effects of N deposition and LUCC on carbon budgets in China based on a terrestrial ecosystem process-based model.The results showed that the average rate of increase in N deposition in China was 0.35 Tg N yr~(-1)(Tg = 10~(12) g),which caused net primary production(NPP) and net ecosystem production(NEP) to rise by 92.2 Tg C yr~(-1) and 46.9 Tg C yr~(-1),respectively.The effects of LUCC reduced N deposition by 0.21 GgNyr~(-1)(Gg= 10~9g).The land changed from forest to cropland had the greatest rate of increase in N deposition among all types of land-cover change.Changes from cropland to forest slowed the rate of N deposition increase the most.Generally,the change in N deposition resulting from LUCC reduced NPP and NEP by 0.7 and 0.4 Gg C yr~(-1),respectively.Compared with the total effects of N deposition on NPP and NEP,N deposition changes caused by LUCC had a limited aggregate effect on the C budget.     

内蒙古边家大院锡多金属矿床成矿岩体岩石地球化学特征及成矿潜力评价

内蒙古边家大院锡多金属矿床是大兴安岭南段多金属成矿带的代表性矿床之一,其西矿区主要发育斑岩型Sn-Cu-Mo矿体,矿体发育于石英斑岩体内。文章通过对石英斑岩开展全岩地球化学、锆石Hf同位素以及锆石微量元素地球化学分析研究,确定了该含矿岩体岩浆性质、来源及演化历史,探讨了成岩成矿关系,并进一步评估了该岩体成锡、铜矿潜力。研究表明,边家大院石英斑岩为准铝质-弱过铝质,高钾钙碱性花岗岩。稀土元素具有轻稀土元素富集、重稀土元素亏损,Eu负异常明显的特征。微量元素具有富集大离子亲石元素,亏损高场强元素的特征。结合其较低的Zr/Hf和Nb/Ta比值以及较高的Rb/Sr比值判断其经历了高分异结晶演化。根据锆石微量元素地球化学特征,确定边家大院石英斑岩源于还原性（ΔFMQ-0.15）、高温贫水（> 750oC）岩浆。边家大院石英斑岩ε_Hf（t）为-0.86~5.99,T_DM2=809~1240 Ma,为中元古代-新元古代年轻地壳部分熔融形成。根据锆石微量元素Ce⁴⁺/Ce³⁺,Ce_N/Ce_N*,Ce/Nd和Eu_N/Eu_N*指针性比值及岩浆特性判断,该石英斑岩有利于锡金属富集成矿,而成铜钼矿潜力小。

Comparison analysis of sampling methods to estimate regional precipitation based on the Kriging interpolation methods: A case of northwestern China

The accuracy of spatial interpolation of precipitation data is determined by the actual spatial variability of the precipitation, the interpolation method, and the distribution of observatories whose selections are particularly important. In this paper, three spatial sampling programs, including spatial random sampling, spatial stratified sampling, and spatial sandwich sampling, are used to analyze the data from meteorological stations of northwestern China. We compared the accuracy of ordinary Kriging interpolation methods on the basis of the sampling results. The error values of the regional annual precipitation interpolation based on spatial sandwich sampling, including ME(0.1513), RMSE(95.91), ASE(101.84), MSE(-0.0036), and RMSSE(1.0397), were optimal under the premise of abundant prior knowledge. The result of spatial stratified sampling was poor, and spatial random sampling was even worse. Spatial sandwich sampling was the best sampling method, which minimized the error of regional precipitation estimation. It had a higher degree of accuracy compared with the other two methods and a wider scope of application.     

西藏多龙矿集区拿顿铜金矿床成矿时代的厘定及其找矿指示意义

西藏多龙矿集区是中国新发现的具有世界级规模的铜金矿集区。目前,该矿集区的中部和北部已发现多个斑岩型和斑岩-浅成低温热液型矿床,而区内西南部也发现了多个铜金矿床,指示了良好的找矿潜力。拿顿是矿集区内西南部具有代表性的铜金矿床,矿化类型为浅成低温热液型。野外地质调查表明,该矿床成矿作用可分为2个阶段,早阶段矿化主要赋存于角砾岩筒中,并与角砾岩筒同时形成,而晚阶段矿化主要以脉体形式产出,切穿角砾岩筒及早阶段矿化。年代学研究结果显示,角砾岩筒中以角砾形式产出的花岗闪长斑岩锆石U-Pb年龄为（117.5±0.7）Ma,被后期花岗闪长斑岩（116.1±1.3Ma）侵入,由此指示角砾岩筒及早阶段矿化形成于116~117 Ma。此外,明矾石⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar年代学研究进一步表明,晚阶段石英-明矾石-硫化物脉形成于（111.3±2.5）Ma,这也证实该矿区成矿作用具有多阶段性特征。文章结果指示,拿顿铜金矿可能存在多期与浅成低温热液型矿化有关的成矿岩体,并且多龙矿集区内也可能存在更多形成于111 Ma而未被发现的矿床。

热液流体对金属元素的迁移、富集及沉淀成矿起着关键作用,定量刻画金属元素在热液成矿过程中的运移是矿床学研究的重点和难点。以热力学理论为基础,通过开展溶解度实验,揭示金属元素在热液流体中的地球化学行为,是研究金属元素迁移、富集沉淀机制行之有效的重要手段。其中,基于钛合金反应釜开展不同物理化学条件下金属元素在热液流体中的溶解度实验,结合相关的热力学模拟,能够精确测定金属元素在热液流体中的溶解度、络合物配位数、气液两相中的分配系数及相关热力学参数,为定量模拟热液成矿过程提供重要的实验依据。文章归纳了近年来针对热液体系的实验矿床学方法,分析了各类实验方法与分析手段的优点与不足。重点介绍钛合金反应釜溶解度实验和热力学模拟计算方法,并结合该方法模拟钪矿床成矿的水岩反应过程,说明该方法在成矿过程模拟中的应用,最后阐述了其存在的问题,并对该领域未来的研究趋势提出了展望,以期推动该方法在战略性关键金属超常富集机制研究中的应用。     

Organic geochemical characterization and depositional paleoenvironments of the Devonian strata in Guizhong region,Guangxi, China

Devonian strata in the Guizhong region, Guangxi, China consist mainly of marine deposition carbonates (limestones and dolomites) as well as restricted clastic rocks. The strata thickness is measured as 2041m and classified into 14 formations. An integrated field geological, petrographic, sedimentological, palaeobiological, and geochemical study of these strata reveals that the depositional paleoenvironments were carbonate tidal flat, restricted platform, open platform, shelf, platform margin slop, and algal herm. The total organic carbon (TOC) of sedimentary organic matter ranges between 0.07% and 1.96% with average of 0.21%. The organic matter types are Type I and Type III. The vitrinite reflectance (R ₀) of kerogen ranges between 0.99% and 2.03%, indicating the maturated and highly maturated stages. The analytical results of the representative samples collected from shelf and subtidal facies show that the differences of organic matter type and biological diagnostic compounds are related to the types of source rocks deposited in different paleoenvironments.     

哀牢山-红河剪切带中段多阶段新生代花岗岩脉:同位素年代学及对于剪切应变型式转变时间的约束

哀牢山-红河剪切带是新生代印度板块与欧亚板块碰撞过程中发育的大规模走滑型剪切带,其发育对于碰撞过程中印支地块的南东向逃逸以及藏东南地区构造格局的形成具有重要的贡献。与剪切带演化相关,伴随发育多阶段花岗岩脉就位,它们为限定剪切变形时限、阐明剪切作用属性提供了重要证据。本文在野外观察基础上,应用显微构造和EBSD石英c-轴组构分析查明花岗岩脉的构造特点与应变型式,同时采用锆石LA-ICP-MS测年方法获得岩脉侵位与结晶年龄。年龄分析结果表明,岩脉年龄分别为27.09±0.48Ma、25.17±0.23Ma和25.16±0.50Ma,其中年龄为27.09±0.48Ma的花岗岩脉具有糜棱岩化现象,其变形特征体现为中温变形后叠加低温变形,且剪切变形形式由一般剪切转换为简单剪切;年龄为25.17±0.23Ma的花岗岩脉表现出同剪切晚期构造特征,且具有较低温度简单剪切变形特点;25.16±0.50Ma的切穿糜棱叶理,矿物未见变形,可能代表剪切期后岩脉。结合区域构造,推测剪切方式由纯剪为主的剪切向由单剪为主的剪切转换发生在27Ma和25Ma之间,哀牢山-红河剪切带中段在约25Ma走滑运动结束。
