阿拉善高原古湖岸堤释光测年与晚第四纪湖面变化

阿拉善高原位于现代西风环流与东亚季风环流过渡带,该地区分布的湖泊对全球性气候变化响应极为敏感,阿拉善高原广泛分布的古湖岸堤为较准确地重建晚第四纪湖泊水位变化提供了良好载体.近年对黑河、石羊河尾闾湖泊以及吉兰泰盐池、雅布赖盆地等地的古湖岸堤的沉积地层以及石英和钾长石释光测年研究,重建了不同区域较高分辨率的末次间冰期以来湖泊时空演化过程.发现早在300 ka以前阿拉善高原就已经形成了高水位湖泊,黑河尾闾额济纳盆地在MIS11或更早、 MIS9、 MIS7、 MIS5和MIS 1形成了高湖面湖泊,高湖面湖泊形成存在100 ka的周期.阿拉善高原在末次间冰期及全新世形成了稳定高湖面湖泊,但间冰期内部湖面波动具有空间差异性,东部区域湖泊高湖面出现在MIS 5e^5c和中全新世,西部湖泊高湖面出现在MIS 5a^5c和晚全新世.湖面变化的空间差异性很可能与冰期-间冰期旋回尺度及间冰期内部东亚夏季风与西风气候系统在阿拉善高原的相互作用密切相关.     

河北武安坦岭多斑斜长斑岩中基质矿物特征及其研究意义

河北武安坦岭斜长斑岩具有多斑斑状结构,基质为显微晶质结构。岩相学观察表明,斜长石斑晶有一个宽广的核部和一个宽度可变的条纹长石反应边,个别核部包含有角闪石、黑云母等矿物。基质矿物主要由蓝透闪石、条纹长石(An0Ab8.4Or91.5～An0.1Ab57.3Or42.6)、石英、钾长石(An0.3Ab5.9Or93.7～An0.3Ab4.7Or95.2)、钠长石(An0.2Ab98.3Or1.5～An0.1Ab99.2Or0.7)、磁铁矿、赤铁矿、钛铁矿、磷灰石、榍石和锆石等11种矿物组成。角闪石温压计计算结果得出,基质角闪石核部的结晶压力高于边部,核部为34.05 MPa,对应的结晶温度为660.35℃,结晶深度为1.29km;边部的结晶压力为24.32MPa,结晶温度为598.32℃,结晶深度为0.92km;而斜长石斑晶中的角闪石形成时压力为159.51～178.19MPa,温度为817.68～819.79℃,对应的形成深度为6.03～6.73km。基质角闪石在Al2O3-TiO2图上落在壳源区,而斑晶中的角闪石和黑云母都落在壳幔混合区。斜长石、条纹长石、磁铁矿和磷灰石的微量和稀土元素测试数据显示,其都具有相对富集LILE、亏损HFSE的特点,暗示了基质矿物的形成有流体参与。ICT三维扫描结果显示,斜长斑岩基质中的孔隙体积含量约为3.428%,铁质体积含量为4.371%,且铁氧化物和孔隙具弱连通性。通过讨论分析,笔者得出:(1)坦岭斜长斑岩中斜长石斑晶具有明显的交代结构,且晶体本身没有明显熔蚀现象,这些特征表明大量的斜长石斑晶快速上升,即"冻结岩浆房"的活化机制与流体密切相关;(2)斜长斑岩中基质矿物有十一种,且矿物类型复杂,不符合平衡系统矿物相律,应属于流体晶矿物组合;(3)坦岭斜长斑岩的基质"岩浆"可能是一种富Fe、K、P、Si、Na等元素的熔体-流体流;(4)多斑斜长斑岩的形成经历了(1)深度6～7km的深部岩浆房形成斜长石堆晶→(2)富Fe、K、P、Si、Na等元素的熔体-流体流加入深部岩浆房,冻结岩浆房活化→(3)由于流体超压,含大量斜长石斑晶的熔体-流体在地壳浅部(0.9～1.2km)呈小岩株状或岩脉状就位。多斑斜长斑岩为深部找矿提供了有力的线索。

细菌反硝化法测试硝酸盐氮、氧同位素的研究与应用

为了验证细菌反硝化法对水体中硝酸盐氮、氧同位素组成测定的适用性、重现性及准确性, 在不同时间(2019年7月28日、8月19日、8月26日)利用反硝化细菌分别将海水、湖水和自来水样品中的硝酸盐转化为氧化亚氮（N₂O）, 并进行氮、氧同位素测定。结果表明, 不同时间段3个批次实验的硝酸盐氮同位素校准曲线斜率都接近理论值1, 相关性系数均高于0.999, 说明反硝化细菌在将样品中的硝酸盐全部还原为N₂O的过程中氮同位素分馏效应很小; 同一样品3个批次测定的硝酸盐的氮同位素值基本相同, 表明细菌反硝化法对硝酸盐氮同位素的测定在长时间周期内具有很好的重现性和准确性。3个批次氧同位素校准曲线斜率稳定在0.61～0.63之间, 相关性系数均高于0.99, 单批次内海水、湖水和自来水3类样品中硝酸盐氧同位素比值的标准偏差范围在0.18‰～0.69‰之间, 表明经过氧同位素校准曲线的校正, 可以准确反映样品中硝酸盐氧同位素组成; 同一样品3个批次测定的氧同位素值差异较大, 其变化范围为1.33‰～16.38‰, 可能是由于样品储存过程中硝酸盐与水之间发生的氧同位素交换作用所致。

A comparison of the effectiveness of the roots of two grass species in reducing soil erosion on alluvial fans in south-east China

The effects of root systems on soil detachment by overland flow are closely related to vegetation types. The objective of this study was to quantify the effects of two gramineous roots (Paspalum mandiocanum with shallow roots and Pennisetum giganteum with deep roots) on soil detachment capacity, rill erodibility, and critical shear stress on alluvial fans of benggang in south-east China. A 4-m-long and 0.12-m-wide flume was used. Slope steepness ranged from 9% to 27%, and unit flow discharge ranged from 1.39 × 10⁻³ to 4.19 × 10⁻³ m² s⁻¹. The mean detachment capacities of P. mandiocanum and P. giganteum lands were 18% and 38% lower than that of bare land, respectively, and the effects of root on reducing soil detachment were mainly reflected in the 0- to 5-cm soil layer. The most important factors in characterizing soil detachment capacity were root length density and soil cohesion, and soil detachment capacity of the two grass lands could be estimated using flow shear stress, soil cohesion, and root length density (NSE = 0.90). With the increase in soil depth, rill erodibility increased, whereas shear stress decreased. The mean rill erodibilities of P. mandiocanum and P. giganteum lands were 81% and 61% as much as that of bare land, respectively. Additionally, rill erodibilities of the two grass lands could be estimated as an exponential function by root length density and soil cohesion (NSE = 0.88). The mean critical shear stress of P. mandiocanum and P. giganteum lands was 1.29 and 1.39 times that of bare land, respectively, and it could be estimated with a linear function by root length density (NSE = 0.76). This study demonstrated that planting of the two grasses P. mandiocanum and P. giganteum could effectively reduce soil detachment and enhance soil resistance to erosion on alluvial fans, with the deep roots of P. giganteum being more effective than the shallow roots of P. mandiocanum. The results are helpful for understanding the influencing mechanism of root systems on soil detachment process.     

A comparison of methods to estimate groundwater recharge from bare soil based on data observed by a large-scale lysimeter

Effectively estimating groundwater recharge is critical to manage water resources, especially in arid and semi-arid regions as impacted by intensive human activities and climate changes. Rare insights have been gained into groundwater recharge since direct observation is hard to carry out. Although several methods are currently available to estimate groundwater recharge, the estimated results may cover noticeable bias. The behaviours of different methods based on different conceptual frameworks and exhibiting different levels of complexity should be examined to estimate actual groundwater recharge. This study aims to assess the performance of four common methods to estimate groundwater recharge. For this end, large-scale lysimeters equipped with soil water content sensors and water table sensors were set up at a research site established in Guanzhong Basin of China. The data achieved by 1-year observation were employed to compare four estimation methods. As revealed from the results, the following findings are drawn. (a) Groundwater level fluctuation (GLF) method is simple, whereas its accuracy is determined by specific yield, and adopting a water balance method to estimate specific yield can considerably enhance the accuracy of GLF. (b) The calibrated numerical model can obtain the optimal result compared with the other methods, whereas long-term observation data are required for parameter calibration. (c) In the water balance method, the maximum entropy production (MEP) model and a practical method (estimating evaporation between two rainfall events) were used to calculate evaporation. As indicated by the results, water balance method combined with MEP is capable of obtaining more reliable results of groundwater recharge compared with the practical method. (d) With an analytical model based on linearized Richards' equation, accurate results can be achieved. What is more, the analytical model only needs the measurement of soil moisture near the surface. The limitation of this method is that it is difficult to determine the maximal water flux. The mentioned findings are of critical implications to the management and sustainable development of groundwater.
