石炭纪太平洋地幔羽的活化：来自日本西南部加积杂岩体的证据

目前 ,地幔对流脉冲的发生时间和大的火成岩区的活动越来越引起研究人员的注意 ,因为它们可能与地磁倒转频率、大陆漂移和全球气候等全球变化事件相一致。可能源自地幔基底的大面积地幔上涌被认为是超羽现象。分布在西太平洋的巨大海台 ,如翁通爪哇海台和Ｓｈａｔｓｋｙ海岭都被认为是这种大火成岩区的产物 ,这些巨大海台最早于白垩纪中期出现在现在的南太平洋超隆起区。然而 ,由于板块构造运动 ,海洋中年龄超过１５０Ｍａ的大的火成岩区在地球表面已不复存在。海台在大洋板块上被动地移动 ,其碎片可能在会聚板块边缘的加积棱柱中堆积成各种…     

南极半岛外过去冰流的深海底证据

南极冰盖和冰帽的过去范围和将来稳定性是理解气候变化后果的主要依据,因为南极大陆的９９%被冰覆盖,冰下侵蚀和搬运为大量陆源沉积物输送到海底提供了唯一的手段,在以前的冰川地形中,无论在陆地上还是海洋中,带状地貌形态与先前的冰流平行非常普遍,并且可用于重建古冰流方向。这种地形形成于运动的冰流之下,由于它出现于大约２１ｋａ的末次冰期极盛时,无论是岸上和浅海冰盖的全球范围和厚度都比目前大。从那时起,在南极西部冰盖失去了２／３的质量。冰川后退引起了陆地上和海底之上这种大规模构造的出露,它们或多或少地被后来地质作用重塑…     

铁锰结壳的铪（Hf）同位素地层学

海水的放射成因同位素组成随时间的变化具有提供大陆风化作用、洋底热液活动、大洋环流的变化以及其与构造和气候事件有关系的信息的潜力。所有主要洋盆中铁锰结壳的Ｓｒ、Ｎｄ和Ｐｂ同位素记录已用来研究海水的长期变化。由于分析困难 ,直到现在Ｈｆ同位素也没有引起人们的关注。在此 ,我们提供了挖掘自中太平洋海山的两个铁锰结壳的第一个高分辨率和精确的Ｈｆ同位素剖面 ,试图限定Ｈｆ同位素在中太平洋深水中的演化。目前海水中的Ｈｆ同位素组成还不得不直接测定 ,但是可以预料 ,由于以下原因Ｈｆ比Ｎｄ同位素组成更加易变。第一 ,由地幔…

黑龙江西部半干旱区干旱特性评估

研究干旱变化对区域生态环境保护和可持续发展具有重要意义.为评价黑龙江西部半干旱区的干旱变化特性,基于1961～2015年6个站点的气象数据,推求不同时间尺度(1、3、6、12、24个月)的标准化降水指数(SPI)和标准化降水-蒸散指数(SPEI);构建线性回归模型评价主要气象因子对降雨的影响以及SPI和SPEI之间的线...     

Structural and tectonothermal evolution of the ultrahigh-temperature Bakhuis Granulite Belt,Guiana Shield,Surinam:Palaeoproterozoic to recent

We constrain the multistage tectonic evolution of the Palaeoproterozoic UHT metamorphic(P=0.9–1.0 GPa,T>1000℃,t=2088–2031 Ma)Bakhuis Granulite Belt(BGB)in Surinam on the Guiana Shield,using large-to small-scale structures,Al-in-hornblende thermobarometry and published fluid inclusion and zircon geochronological data.The BGB forms a narrow,NE–SW striking belt between two formerly connected,~E–W oriented granite-greenstone belts,formed between converging Amazonian and West African continental masses prior to collision and Transamazonian orogeny.Inherited detrital zircon in BGB metasediments conforms agewise to Birimian zircon of West Africa and suggests derivation from the subsequently subducted African passive margin.Ultrahigh-temperature metamorphism may have followed slab break-off and asthenospheric heat advection.Peak metamorphic structures result from layer-parallel shearing and folding,reflecting initial transtensional exhumation of the subducted African margin after slab break-off.A second HT event involves intrusion,at ca.0.49 GPa,of charnockites and metagabbros at 1993–1984 Ma and a layered anorthosite at 1980 Ma,after the BGB had already cooled to<400℃.The event is related to northward subduction under the greenstone belts,along a new active margin to their south.A pronounced syntaxial bend in the new margin points northward towards the BGB and is likely the result of indentation by an anticlinorial flexural bulge of the subducting plate.Tearing of the subducting oceanic plate along this bulge explains why the charnockites are restricted to the BGB.The BGB subsequently experienced doming under an extensional detachment exposed in its southwestern border zone.Exhumation was focused in the BGB as a result of the flexural bulge in the subducting plate and localised heating of the overriding plate by charnockite magmatism.The present,straight NE–SW long-side boundaries of the BGB are superimposed mylonite zones,overprinted by pseudotachylites,previously dated at ca.1200 Ma and 950 Ma,respectively.The 1200 Ma mylonites reflect transpressional popping-up of the BGB,caused by EW-directed intraplate principal compressive stresses from Grenvillian collision preserved under the eastern Andes.Further exhumation of the BGB involved the 950 Ma pseudotachylite decorated faulting,and Phanerozoic faulting along reactivated Meso-and Neoproterozoic lineaments.     

Distribution, use pattern and prospects for conservation of medicinal shrubs in Uttaranchal State, India

The present paper gives an insight into the distribution and use pattern of medicinal shrubs in Uttaranchal State. A total of 222 medicinal and aromatic shrub species have been appended based on secondary information. Euphorbiaceae, Rosaceae, Verbenaceae, and Fabaceae have the highest repre- sentatives of medicinal shrubs. Twenty one families had one species each in medicinal use. Verbenaceae and Euphorbiaceae in the sub-tropical region, Rosaceae in the temperate region, and Ericaceae and Rosaceae in the sub-alpine and alpine regions, respectively, had the highest representatives of medicinal shrubs. The distribution of medicinal shrubs was 42 % in sub-tropical, 29 % in warm temperate, 13 % in cool temperate, 9 % in sub-alpine and 7 % in the alpine region. Of the total species, 70 medicinal shrubs were native to the Himalayas and 22 native to Himalayan region including other Hima- layan countries. The most frequently used plant parts for various ailments were leaves (31 %) and roots (23 %). Most shrubs are being used for the diseases, viz. skin diseases, dysentery, cough, fever, wounds, and rheumatism. The present paper will help in the execution of strategies for promotion and cultivation of medicinal shrubs in Uttaranchal State.     

Reforestation Programs in Southwest China： Reported Success, Observed Failure, and the Reasons Why

Ever since the disastrous floods of 1998, the Chinese government has used the Natural Forest Protection and Sloping Land Conversion Programs to promote afforestation and reforestation as means to reduce runoff, control erosion, and stabilize local livelihoods. These two ambitious programs have been reported as large-scale successes, contributing to an overall increase in China’s forest cover and to the stated goals of environmental stabilization. A small-scale field study at the project level of the implementation of these two programs in Baiwu Township, Yanyuan County, Sichuan, casts doubt upon the accuracy and reliability of these claims of success; ground observations revealed utter failure in some sites and only marginal success in others. Reasons for this discrepancy are posited as involving ecological, economic, and bureaucratic factors. Further research is suggested to determine whether these discrepancies are merely local aberrations or represent larger-scale failures in reforestation programs.
