长江口海域悬浮颗粒有机物的稳定氮同位素季节分布与关键生物地球化学过程

对2010年2、5、8、11月份长江口海域水体中的悬浮颗粒物进行稳定氮同位素分析。根据不同季节、不同区域内悬浮颗粒有机物的稳定氮同位素组成(δ15 Np)值的变化研究水体中氮的迁移、转化等生物地球化学过程,揭示其环境行为,从而对该海域的氮循环机制进行探索。研究发现:长江口海域悬浮颗粒物的稳定氮同位素组成具有较宽的分布范围,δ15 Np值分布范围为-1.1‰~8.6‰,具有明显的时空分布特点,反映了不同程度的陆源输入和氮的生物地球化学过程的影响。其中,2月份生物反应较弱,δ15 Np分布体现了陆源和海源的混合特征;5月和11月份上层水体δ15 Np随叶绿素a升高而降低,指示了生物的同化吸收作用;8月和11月δ15 Np和总溶解无机氮呈现极显著正相关关系,说明该海域发生了氮的矿化再生。     

Palaeomagnetism of late Cretaceous sediments from southern Tibet: Evidence for the consistent palaeolatitudes of the southern margin of Eurasia prior to the collision with India

Twenty sites were drilled in the late Cretaceous Shexing Formation for palaeomagnetic studies in the Lhasa terrane near the locality of Maxiang (29.9°N/90.7°E). The stepwise thermal demagnetizations successfully isolated high unblocking temperature characteristic directions. The tilt-corrected mean direction is D/I = 350.8°/32.1° with α₉₅ = 8.1° and N = 20 sites, corresponding to a paleopole at 75.0°N, 306.7°E with A₉₅ = 6.8°. Positive fold tests indicate a primary origin for the characteristic remanence. Based on previous Cretaceous data mainly from the Takena Formation and Paleocene data from the Linzizong volcanic rocks near the city of Lhasa, the latitude of the southern margin of Asia is located at about 15°N, and yields a stable position of the Lhasa terrane during Cretaceous and Paleocene. Compared with expected paleomagnetic directions from the stable India and Eurasia blocks, the collision palaeolatitude further implies the total latitudinal convergence was accommodated by 1700 ± 800 km (16.2 ± 7.6°) between southern Tibet and stable Eurasia and 1500 ± 830 km (14.4 ± 7.9°) between southern Tibet and stable India since the collision of India and Eurasia. A collision age between c. 54 and 47 Ma was determined using the results for the southern margin of Eurasia according to our new data and the extent of ‘Greater India’.     

不同体系改性粘土对浒苔(Ulva prolifera)微观繁殖体去除及萌发的影响

本文研究了2种无机改性粘土在3种不同改性配比下对浒苔微观繁殖体去除效果及萌发的影响。结果发现,去除率随改性粘土及改性剂用量的增加而升高,相同条件下硫酸铝(AS)改性粘土对浒苔微观繁殖体的去除效果优于聚合氯化铝(PAC)改性粘土,其中1:5 PAC改性粘土在0.5 g/L时去除率为62%,AS改性粘土则可达到80%。添加改性粘土后上层水体中浒苔微观繁殖体相对萌发率随改性粘土及改性剂用量的升高而降低,总体系相对萌发率表现为先升后降趋势,在改性剂浓度为0.1 g/L时相对萌发率达到最高。两种改性体系中微观繁殖体在1:3配比、1.0 g/L浓度下均未能萌发。该结果显示,改性粘土可以有效去除浒苔微观繁殖体并抑制其萌发,这为我国绿潮灾害的防控提供了一种新思路。     

Organic matter enrichment in the first member of the Xiagou formation of the lower Cretaceous in the Jiuquan Basin,China

The sources and enrichment of organic matter in a sediment core in the first member of the Xiagou Formation (K₁g¹) from the Chang 2-2 borehole of the Jiuquan Basin, NW China, have been examined using Rock–Eval, maceral, carbon isotopes and biomarker data. This data indicates that highly variable organic matter sources and preservation conditions in response to climate change. TOC content, HI, and δ¹³C value were strongly correlated with the abundance of gammacerane, woody organic matter content, steranes/hopanes ratio, and C₂₉ sterane content. This correlation demonstrates the importance that the control of the salinity of the depositional environment and organic matter sources can have upon the enrichment, type, and carbon isotopic composition of organic matter. In the Jiuquan Basin’s relatively high temperature and arid climate, high salinity lakes with high primary productivity of algae, planktons, and bacteria, and good organic matter preservation conditions (anoxic bottom water) resulted in the enrichment of isotopically-light algae-bacterial organic matter. In the Jiuquan Basin’s regions with a relatively low temperature and wet climate, fresh lakes with low primary productivity of algae, planktons, and bacteria received significant terrigenous high plants input, resulting in the deposition of a low abundance of isotopically heavier terrestrial organic matter.     

Effects of water-current speed on hematological,biochemical and immune parameters in juvenile tinfoil barb, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Barbonymus schwanenfeldii</Emphasis> (Bleeker, 1854)

This study examines the effect of water-current speed on hematological, biochemical and immune parameters in juvenile tinfoil barb (Barbonymus schwanenfeldii). Blood samples were taken on days 1, 23 and 45 from control fish and from two training groups maintained at current speeds of 0.06 bl/s (body length per second), 0.66 bl/s, and 1.92 bl/s, respectively. Significantly increased red-blood-cell counts and hematocrit were observed in the post-training groups on days 23 and 45. Significantly increased hemoglobin concentrations were also observed in the 1.92 bl/s group on days 23 and 45. In contrast, values of mean corpuscular volume were significantly lower in the 1.92 bl/s group than in the other groups on day 45. Nitroblue-tetrazolium-positive cells and lysozyme and superoxidase dismutase activities in the plasma increased significantly with increasing training intensity on days 23 and 45. Antibacterial activities were significantly increased in the trained groups compared with the control group on day 23; significantly elevated alkaline phosphatase activity was observed in the 1.92 bl/s groups on day 45. Therefore, training intensities of 0.66 and 1.92 bl/s enhanced the blood oxygen-carrying capability and plasma immune parameters of juvenile tinfoil barbs.

Braincase Anatomy of the Basal Theropod Sinosaurus from the Early Jurassic of China

The neuroanatomy of the mid-sized theropod Sinosaurus triassicus from the Lower Jurassic Lufeng Formation, Lufeng Basin in Yunnan Province, China was studied using X-ray computed tomography. The braincase is characterized by a large supraoccipital knob that is capped by a posterior projection of the parietal and two external foramina for the caudal middle cerebral vein, which is completely enclosed by the supraoccipital. The basicranium has well defined, short basipterygoid processes that project ventral to the basal tubera. The basisphenoid is expanded, projects posteroventrally, and is pierced by four pneumatic recesses. The endocranial morphology resembles that observed in other basal theropods—in particular some allosauroids—and has a strongly marked pontine flexure and a large dorsal expansion. The inner ear morphology is also similar to that observed in other basal theropods, with slender semicircular canals. The anterior semicircular canal is 20% larger than the posterior semicircular canal, and the angle formed between them is less than 90° when seen in dorsal view.     

Carbon geological utilization and storage in China: current status and perspectives

As an emerging technology with the potential to enable large-scale utilization of fossil fuels in a low-carbon manner, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is widely considered to be a strategic technology option to help reduce CO₂ emissions and ensure energy security in China. In principle, CCUS can be divided into three categories, namely chemical utilization, biological utilization and geological utilization. Of the three categories, carbon geological utilization and storage (CGUS) technology has obtained the most attention lately due to its ability to utilize underground resources and conditions, to generate further economic benefits, a feature that distinguishes it from other CO₂ reduction technologies. The CGUS technology related in this paper has various types, each with its own potential, difficulties and characteristics. This paper summarizes China’s research findings on the various types of CGUS technology, analyzes their research status, development potential, early opportunities and long-term contributions and recommends major geological utilization methods to policy makers and investors based on China’s natural resources and industrial characteristics. Besides, this paper analyzes the status, mechanisms and limitations of China’s relations with other countries in this field, as a means to promote research cooperation on an international level.
