重庆金佛山羊口洞滴水δD和δ18O变化特征及其环境意义

为探究重庆金佛山羊口洞滴水δD、δ18O化特征及其环境意义,于2011年10月—2013年8月,在重庆市南川区金佛山逐月采集大气降水样品及羊口洞6个滴水监测点的滴水样品进行氢氧稳定同位素测定。通过比较降水和滴水δD、δ18O的分布特征、季节变化及其与降水量和温度的相关性发现：（1）6个滴水点δD、δ18O较均匀地分布在当地降水线附近,表明从降水到形成滴水的过程受蒸发作用影响不大,滴水δD、δ18O现了当地大气降水δD、δ18O均水平。（2）受洞穴上覆岩土层的调蓄作用影响,羊口洞各滴水点δD和δ18O变化范围（—46.77~—62.09‰,—7.05~—9.96‰）远小于洞外大气降水（5.17~—115.63‰和—1.44~—16.10‰）,且较降水存在明显滞后性。但滴水δD、δ18O体上也表现出与降水相同的夏季偏轻、冬季偏重的趋势,主要受降水水汽源地季节性差异影响。而各个监测点滴水δD和δ18O节变化差异较大,可能受滴水点上覆岩层裂隙管道发育、覆盖层厚度、岩溶水滞留时间、形成滴水前的运移路径、滴水点的高度和滴率、滴水点距离洞穴出入口的距离等多种原因影响。（3）降水δ18O现出＂降水量效应＂和＂负温度效应＂,羊口洞滴水δ18O降水量总体上也呈负相关关系,而与温度（水温、洞温）的关系则呈现多样化：1#、2#、5#、6#监测点滴水δ18O温度不相关,3#点为正相关,4#点为负相关,这与各监测点滴水δ18O节变化差异较大有关。（4）总体而言,羊口洞滴水δD和δ18O季节变化不够明显,利用羊口洞石笋进行季节分辨率的古气候重建可能性较低,但滴水δD和δ18O承了当地大气降水信息,其石笋δ18O用于重建年际~十年际及更长时间尺度的古气候变化。

Stable Carbon Isotope Variations in Cave Percolation Waters and their Implications in Four Caves of Guizhou, China

Monitoring and sampling of main plants,soil CO2,soil water,bedrock,spring water,drip water and its corresponding speleothem were performed at four cave systems of Guizhou,Southwest China,from April 2003 to May 2004,in order to understand stable carbon isotope ratios variations of dissolved inorganic Carbon(DIC) in cave percolation waters(δ13CDIC) and their implications for paleoclimate.Stable carbon isotopic compositions and ions(Ca,Mg,Sr,SO4,Cl etc.) were measured for all samples.The results indicate that there are significant differences among the δ13CDIC values from inter-cave,even inter-drip of intra-cave in the four caves.The δ13CDIC values from the Liangfeng Cave(LFC) is lightest among the four caves,where vegetation type overlying the cave is primary forest dominated by tall trees with lighter average δ13C value(–29.9‰).And there are remarkable differences in δ13CDIC values of different drip waters in the Qixing Cave(QXC) and Jiangjun Cave(JJC),up to 6.9‰ and 7.8‰,respectively.Further analyses show that the δ13CDIC values in cave drip waters are not only controlled by vegetation biomass overlying the cave,but also hydro-geochemical processes.Therefore,accurate interpreting of δ13C recorded in speleothems cannot be guaranteed if these effects of the above mentioned factors are not taken into consideration.     

Seismotectonic versus man-induced morphological changes in a cave on the Arrábida chain (Portugal)

Abstract

Distinctions between cave morphologies originating from seismic or active tectonics and those generated by natural clastic breakdown or by human activity must be made using unambiguous interpretative criteria.

Easily accessible caves in particular, which may have been visited for centuries or millennia, or caves located near engineering works or quarries using great quantities of explosives, may have broken speleothems, breakdowns or detachment joints unrelated to seismic events or tectonic movements.

Zambujal cave lies near neotectonic and seismic structures associated with a Plio-Quatemary 200 m uplift of the Arrábida chain and has suffered impacts resulting from quarrying, followed by possible vandalism. It is thus an example for which it is difficult to decipher morphological agents as there is the possibility that identical forms have been generated by several causes, which may have repeated at different episodes of its evolution. However, a careful morphological interpretation makes it possible to accept the existence of two seismic episodes, an “ancient” one and a “modern” one. The detection of other episodes between these is only possible using absolute dating. © Elsevier, Paris     

Tectonics of the Western Carpathians in the light of recent studies

During an annual cycle the affect of microclimatic changes (of natural and anthropogenic origin) on the geochemical characteristics of seepage water and mineral precipitation rates was analyzed for two karstic caves which contrast in environmental stability and energy exchange with exterior. On the one hand, Castañar cave (Caceres, Spain) is an extremely controlled show cave with limited visitation showing a minimum exchange rate of energy with the external atmosphere and, secondly, Canelobre cave (Alicante, Spain), is a widely visited cave where the anthropogenic impact generates rapid and high-energy environmental changes. Mineral saturation state of seepage water of both caves is controlled by microclimatic variations, such as: 1) natural underground air renewal through the porous system of the upper soil and the network of host-rock fissures, or elso through the cave entrance, 2) cumulative disruptions in the pCO2 levels of cave air due to the presence of visitors, and 3) forced ventilation of the subterranean atmosphere due to the uncontrolled opening of cave entrances. The obtained results reinforce the significance of the microclimatic fluctuations on short time scales in the dynamics of the subterranean karst systems, in terms of rates of mineral precipitation and growth of speleothems, as well as their key role for cave conservation.     

旅游活动对洞穴环境的影响及洞穴的自净能力研究——以重庆雪玉洞为例

洞穴空气中的CO2对洞穴次生化学沉积物的沉积和溶蚀有重要的影响.文中基于2010-09-30- 10-08对重庆雪玉洞洞穴CO2浓度、温湿度进行的为期8d的连续监测,并结合“十一”黄金周期间的客流量进行综合分析.结果发现:(1)受旅游活动的影响,洞穴内空气CO2浓度有明显的累积效应;温度变化幅度加大,但没有累积效应;由于地下河和滴水的影响,洞内空气相对湿度一直处于过饱和状态,这是温度没有形成累积效应的一个重要原因.(2)由于洞内外温差的影响,洞口处会形成由洞内向洞外流动的气流,使得近洞口处的空气CO2浓度     

岩溶表层带水生动物研究进展

本文旨在介绍岩溶表层带水生生态研究中微小甲壳类生物的最新研究进展,相关研究国内还少有涉及。岩溶表层带不仅仅是岩溶地下含水层的一个重要组成,而且是岩溶发育的活跃地带,同时也是大量地下生物生存的栖息地。目前,岩溶表层带内甲壳类主要采自洞穴滴水,残留的滴水水洼以及裂隙中的水体。这些甲壳类主要是桡足类,也有其他甲壳类,如端足目和介形虫,它们主要为暗层生物（stygobiont）,也包括一些陆生物种。以斯洛文尼亚为例,在所调查的洞穴中平均每个洞穴有近9个暗层桡足类物种,为了适应表层带特殊的地质环境,这些物种在形体上存在适当的进化。表层带的众多地质因子如顶板厚度、栖息地的连通性、及栖息地的大小等,以及水文因子包括水文动态特征、水化学特征等,都对这些物种的组成与分布有较大的影响。虽然岩溶表层带及其水生动物的独特性和重要性已逐步得到了许多地质学家和生物学家的认可,但还有很多问题有待进一步的解答,譬如邻近群落间差异性,以及桡足类对非饱和带水流指示作用等。      

充水溶洞特征的高密度电阻率法反演分析研究

在高密度电法勘探中,不同性质的溶洞其反演电阻率特征有差异,溶洞为空洞时反演电阻率表现为高阻,充满水时表现则为低阻,而充水溶洞的电阻率反演特征很难判断。文章通过构建不同充水程度的溶洞模型进行正演模拟,利用最小二乘法对模型的地电断面进行反演,对比不同反演成像模型的地电响应特征。结果表明,充水溶洞的电阻率随溶洞充水量的增加而减小,低阻的范围随着水量的增加而不断扩大,其可分辨性强。野外探查资料进一步验证了模拟结果,所获得的认识对地下溶洞的电法探测分析具有一定的指导意义。
