晚冰期月亮湖炭屑记录反映的古气候演化

位于大兴安岭中段的月亮湖地处季风/非季风影响过渡地带,其沉积岩心下部886～546 cm的炭屑记录揭示了末次冰期晚期到全新世早期(20.9～10.8 cal.ka B.P.)的古气候演化历史,反映了东亚季风对研究区气候的影响。研究区炭屑浓度的变化主要由可供燃烧的生物量决定,生长在气候温暖时期的森林草原能够提供更多可供燃烧的生物量。在同一植被类型的条件下,气候寒冷湿润时炭屑浓度低,气候温暖干旱时炭屑浓度高。20.9～18.0 cal.ka B.P.炭屑浓度较低, 气候寒冷偏干,18.0～15.3 cal.ka B.P.炭屑浓度最低,气候寒冷湿润,15.3～14.4 cal.ka B.P.炭屑浓度增高,气候开始向温暖的方向发展,14.4～11.8 cal.ka B.P.炭屑浓度快速变化,气候也经历了一系列的快速变化,11.8～10.8 cal.ka B.P.炭屑浓度总体较高,气候温暖湿润。<50 μm的炭屑浓度指示了区域火演化的历史, >50 μm的炭屑则反映了当地野火发生的状况。     

福建罗源湾潮滩沉积过程对人类活动和台风事件的响应

潮滩地区是人类活动和台风事件影响最为显著的地区之一,利用潮滩沉积记录可以提取影响区域重大人类活动和台风事件的历史变化。罗源湾潮滩中上部盐沼和光滩柱状沉积物粒度分析结果显示,罗源湾潮滩沉积物以细颗粒为主,盐沼内部和潮滩中上部光滩柱状沉积物平均粒径分别为5.41~45.00 μm和5.4~68.82 μm,但在不同深度出现多次沉积物变粗的现象;利用210Pb测试计算得到的沉积速率分别为1.96 cm/a和1.23 cm/a;近年来的围填海活动导致潮间带地区沉积速率显著增大,互花米草的引种也进一步导致潮间带上部沉积速率增大。台风的强烈影响使得潮间带沉积出现间断,在沉积间断界面出现沉积物粒度变粗的现象,由此推断了近170年来显著影响罗源湾地区的台风事件沉积层的位置,并由此计算了不同时段的沉积速率。根据柱状沉积物粒度分析结果,不仅可以反演近百年来的对罗源湾产生重要影响的台风事件,也可以反演20世纪50年代以来罗源湾经历的几次较大规模的人类活动。     

黑河下游地区柽柳沙丘的气候与环境记录

对黑河下游地区柽柳沙丘沉积剖面进行AMS¹⁴C定年及沉积物粒度和Hg含量的综合分析,探讨了该区域从18世纪中期到21世纪初的气候与环境变化。结果表明:沙丘沉积物以细沙为主,粒度频率分布曲线呈明显的单峰形态,反映了单一的风力沉积作用;>100 μm的粗颗粒含量变化很好地指示了该区域冬季风的强弱变化,并记录了小冰期末期以来气候转暖的过程以及现代暖期中两个相对寒冷时期——20世纪10-20年代和50-60年代。沙丘沉积物中Hg主要来源于人类的工业活动,剖面Hg含量存在3个峰值,分别对应18世纪末的西班牙美洲地区银矿开采、19世纪中后期的北美淘金热、二次世界大战及战后经济复苏。此外,剖面中有两个样品Hg含量异常升高,其原因可能是1815年和1883年印尼的两次大规模火山喷发而引起的全球Hg沉降增加。     

New records of xenophyophores from the upper slope around New Zealand

Recent cruises to the Chatham Rise and to the Challenger Plateau have provided new material of 3 species of xenophyophores: Reticulam‐mina labyrinthica Tendal, 1972; Syringammina fragillissima Brady, 1883; and S. tasmanensis Lewis, 1966. These records confirm the occurrence of S. fragillissima in New Zealand waters, indicate a wide distribution of S. tasmanensis, and amend our knowledge of species variation and depth range of the New Zealand xenophyophores.     

Effects of paraquat on invertebrates in a Canterbury stream,New Zealand

During 1966 and 1967, paraquat was applied on three occasions at 2 ppm for 30 min to control aquatic weeds in the South Branch experimental stream, a tributary of the lower Waimakariri River, Canterbury, South Island, New Zealand. Effects on the invertebrate fauna of the stream were studied before, during, and after the applications, by Surber and drift‐net samples.

After a heavy initial kill, the paraquat treatment reduced the number of amphipods caught in the drift fauna to 5% of the pre‐treatment level, and there was a slight reduction in the numbers of hemipterans. The total numbers in Surber samples increased markedly a year after treatments ended, mainly due to increased numbers of trichopterans.     

中国传统农区1820年耕地数据网格化方法

Recent studies have demonstrated the importance of LUCC change with climate and ecosystem simulation, but the result could only be determined precisely if a high-resolution underlying land cover map is used. While the efforts based satellites have provided a good baseline for present land cover, what the next advancement in the research about LUCC change required is the development of reconstruction of historical LUCC change, especially spatially-explicit historical dataset. Being different from other similar studies, this study is based on the analysis of historical land use patterns in the traditional cultivated region of China. Taking no account of the less important factors, altitude, slope and population patterns are selected as the major drivers of reclamation in ancient China, and used to design the HCGM (Historical Cropland Gridding Model, at a 60 km×60 km resolution), which is an empirical model for allocating the historical cropland inventory data spatially to grid cells in each political unit. Then we use this model to reconstruct cropland distribution of the study area in 1820, and verify the result by prefectural cropland data of 1820, which is from the historical documents. The statistical analyzing result shows that the model can simulate the patterns of the cropland distribution in the historical period in the traditional cultivated region efficiently.

基于历史地震史料记载的地震危险性分析方法

现行的地震危险性分析方法是经过潜在震源区划分、地震活动性参数和衰减关系的确定,以及基岩地震动参数的计算而作为基础资料的历史强震目录,同时也是通过历史地震记载的分析得到的。然而,在其每一个环节都存在不确定性,而现有的不确定校正很难达到满意的程度。本文设想仅仅利用历史地震的史料记载,依据最大似然法,计算场地的各不同年份不同超越概率的地震危险性。以怀来、河间、唐山、承德、宁晋、石家庄为例,并仅仅以这些场地的历史记载为依据,不考虑推测的影响烈度,计算这些场地的危险性分析结果,并与中国地震烈度区划图（1990）的结果进行比较,由此来说明本方法具有一定的可利用性。     

Historical desertification of the Mu Us Desert, Northern China: A multidisciplinary study

The problem of historical desertification of the Mu Us desert, northern China has been paid considerable attention during the past several decades. Through the analysis of stratigraphic evidence, historical records and archaeological discoveries, this paper studied the problem using a multidisciplinary approach. The results show that two phases of serious desertification occurred during the last two millennia, one is during the mid-to-late Tang dynasty (about A.D. 800) and the other during the late Ming dynasty (about A.D. 1500–1600). Further investigation of the cause of each phase of desertification demonstrates that the former phase of desertification is closely related to abrupt climate change occurring in the mid-eighth century, but the latter, which started during the Ming dynasty and stopped at late 1980s, is not consistent with climatic causation. Therefore, we suggest that human activities contributed to the development of the latter phase of desertification.
