浙江瓶窑BHQ孔全新统孢粉组合特征与气候变化

利用浙江省瓶窑北湖BHQ孔长约14m的岩心,以4个AMS¹⁴C数据为年代依据,对49块样品进行孢粉分析。分析结果发现,样品中孢粉浓度差异较大,植物种类繁多,总计103个科/属。通过对孢粉组合特征的分析,结合岩性特征,划分出3个孢粉带和9个亚带,重建了研究区早—中全新世植被演替和气候冷暖波动的环境序列。19～8.9m沉积时段,对应于早全新世气候回暖期,研究区植被主要是以落叶栎、松、阿丁枫和枫杨为主,混有少量常绿栎和榆等的针叶—落叶阔叶混交林,常绿乔木花粉含量较低,说明研究区经历晚更新世晚期新仙女木事件后进入全新世,气候迅速转暖;8.9～6.7m沉积时段,对应于全新世最适宜期,为研究区水热条件配置最佳阶段,主要发育由落叶栎、常绿栎、松、阿丁枫、枫杨和榆等组成的常绿—落叶阔叶混交林,常绿乔木的种类和含量要远远高于前一阶段,指示气候变化的最适宜阶段;6.7～4.775m沉积时段,对应于中全新世气候波动期,孢粉组合发生明显波动,研究区植被主要以落叶栎、枫香、松、枫杨等落叶阔叶乔木为主,常绿栎花粉的含量急剧萎缩,表明研究区植被类型演替为落叶阔叶林,反映经历了较为剧烈的气候恶化事件,而本段高含量的稻属花粉(≥35μm)可能指示该时段研究区存在一定规模的古人类活动。     

Impact of Holocene environmental change on temporal-spatial distribution of Neolithic sites in Huaihe River Basin, Anhui Province

The Huaihe River basin of Anhui is not only a transitional zone of physical geography, but also a convergent area of many cultures in China. It is one of the sensitive ecotones to global changes and the birthplace of Chinese civilization. Using the field archaeological data and the sporo-pollens and the age data of the drilling cores, we analysed Neolithic cultural development and environmental evolution in the Huaihe River basin of Anhui. According to the combination of some research results in archaeology with environmental evolution research, this paper discusses the relationship between culture and environment in the Huaihe River basin of Anhui. The Neolithic cultural development was strongly impacted by the environmental change. The primitive culture (Shishanzi) was developed in the beginning of the Holocene Megathermal Period with distinct regional feature of the culture. From 6.5 kaBP to 5.5 kaBP, the climate changed warmer and wetter. The frequent occurrence of flood and waterlog due to such a climate regime and high sea level caused the earth’s surface environment deteriorated in the Huaihe River basin of Anhui and the interruption of the Neolithic cultural development, hence a lack of archaeological sites. From 5.5 kaBP to 4.0 kaBP, the climate changed from wet to dry, the natural environment was propitious to human survival. Dawenkou Culture and Longshan Culture flourished in this period. The Neolithic cultural development, the number of the sites and their distribution characteristics of the sites in the study area differed apparently from those in Central China and Shandong Province.     

Vegetation and fire history since the last glacial maximum in an inland area of the western Mediterranean Basin (Northern Iberian Plateau,NW Spain)

We reconstructed vegetation responses to climate oscillations, fire and human activities since the last glacial maximum in inland NW Iberia, where previous paleoecological research is scarce. Extremely sparse and open vegetation composed of steppic grasslands and heathlands with scattered pioneer trees suggests very cold and dry conditions during the Oldest Dryas, unsuitable for tree survival in the surroundings of the study site. Slight woodland expansion during the Bølling/Allerød was interrupted by the Younger Dryas cooling. Pinewoods dominated for most of the early Holocene, when a marked increase in fire activity occurred. Deciduous trees expanded later reaching their maximum representation during the mid-Holocene. Enhanced fire activity and the presence of coprophilous fungi around 6400–6000 cal yr BP suggest an early human occupation around the site. However, extensive deforestation only started at 4500 cal yr BP, when fire was used to clear the tree canopy. Final replacement of woodlands with heathlands, grasslands and cereal crops occurred from 2700 cal yr BP onwards due to land-use intensification. Our paleoecological record can help efforts aimed at restoring the natural vegetation by indicating which communities were dominant at the onset of heavy human impact, thus promoting the recovery of currently rare oak and alder stands.     

全新世以来腾格里沙漠风沙活动地质记录与模拟数据综合研究

自晚更新世以来,地处干旱与半干旱过渡区的腾格里沙漠,在亚洲季风的作用下,经历了几度流沙出现、扩大和固定、半固定乃至弱成壤的沙漠正、逆交替变化过程。东亚季风在时空尺度上的强弱变化通常被解释为驱动腾格里沙漠环境变化的主要原因。用于重建古环境和风沙活动的变化多依赖于腾格里沙漠边缘区域的黄土、湖泊、孢粉和冲洪积物,然而涉及到沙漠腹地的古环境记录较少,并且不同地点的沉积剖面所记录的地质信息具有区域局限性。本研究在腾格里沙漠西南边缘至腹地采取4个典型风沙沉积序列,共采集97个沉积样品和11个风沙沉积物光释光年代数据,并收集整理了约14 ka以来已发表的69个风沙沉积物光释光年龄数据以及137个古土壤、湖相沉积物和钙质根管的¹⁴C年龄数据;另外,为了减少沉积序列在解读和重建沙漠环境演变的或然性,运用TraCE-21 ka古气候模拟数据分别计算了14 ka以来腾格里沙漠地区地表有效湿度和沙丘活化指数的变化趋势,以及春冬和夏秋季节沙丘活化指数对全年平均值的贡献量,综合探讨了全新世以来腾格里沙漠近地表风沙活动历史以及驱动因素。结果表明：1）早全新世时期（11.7~8.0 ka）,较粗的平均粒径和偏多的风沙年代数据表明该时期风沙活动较强;模拟数据结果显示该时期风沙活动呈现减弱趋势,这主要是由于减弱的东亚冬季风引起的近地表风速下降所导致的,从而发生大量的风沙堆积;2）中全新世时期（8~3 ka）,较高的低频磁化率和较多的¹⁴C年代数据指示该时期古土壤发育,地表湿润条件转好,风沙活动较弱。模拟数据结果表明该时期地表有效湿度较高,风沙活动处于较低水平,这主要是由于增强的东亚夏季风带来了大量的降水,促使地表有效湿度较高,沙丘逐渐被植被固定;3）晚全新世以来（3~0 ka）,较粗的平均粒径和风沙年代数据增多表明风沙活动再次活跃。模拟数据结果显示该时期风沙活动呈现增加趋势,表明东亚夏季风减弱和腾格里沙漠的气候干旱导致沙漠地表有效湿度逐渐下降,植被退化,固定沙丘再度活化。

粒度和磁化率记录的毛乌素沙地东缘全新世气候变化

通过对毛乌素沙地东缘大柳塔剖面地层沉积物粒度及磁化率特征的分析,结合光释光测年结果,探讨了毛乌素沙地全新世气候变化。结果表明:(1)剖面沉积物粒度组成以中砂、粗砂为主,古土壤中黏粒组分含量高(3.32%),风成砂中几乎不含黏粒组分(0.01%),粒度参数的平均粒径M_z和分选系数σ也表现为古土壤高值、风成砂低值;(2)磁化率在全剖面呈有规律的变化,低频、高频磁化率在古土壤中呈高值,湖沼相、弱成壤次之,风成砂最小;低频磁化率χ_lf与黏粒(<2μm)含量、平均粒径M_z呈显著正相关,垂向剖面上变化规律一致,指示了相似的气候环境意义;(3)毛乌素沙地在10.39 ka BP附近存在明显的3次冷干-暖湿气候波动; 10.39～9.34 ka BP,气候冷干,风沙活动盛行; 9.34～8.68 ka BP,冬季风衰退,夏季风增强,成壤作用强烈; 8.68～8.29 ka BP,气候寒冷干燥; 8.29～2.72 ka BP,气候整体温暖湿润,在6.55～3.80 ka BP达到鼎盛后转向冷干; 2.72～1.34 ka BP,冬季风占主导,沙丘活化,沙漠扩张; 1.34 ka BP至今,逐渐接近现代气候。毛乌素沙地的全新世气候变化是东亚冬、夏季风此消彼长作用下全球气候变化的区域响应。     

长白山地区全新世泥炭剖面地球化学特征及其古环境意义

长白山地区是中国泥炭分布集中地区之一。本文选择长白山地区典型的泥炭剖面--大桥剖面,探讨其沉积物常量元素和微量元素的垂直分布规律及其对全新世气候变化的指示作用,并与该区另一代表剖面--金川泥炭剖面进行对比。结果表明,泥炭中常量元素含量最大值出现在195 cm,向上、向下都减少,铁含量与灰分、容重在剖面上的变化规律基本一致,说明它主要来源于灰分;由于泥炭和砂土的基本性质,如容重、灰分、pH值有很大的区别,泥炭层微量元素大于下部砂土的含量,亚表层微量元素含量最高,这与灰分、纤维含量正好相反,与pH值剖面变化一致;沉积物容重、灰分、pH值、Ca/ Mg以及元素的富集因子、泥炭中总碳含量在剖面上的变化,显示很强的一致性,据此反映该区经历了早11880～7600aBP)、中(7 600～480aBP)、晚(2480～0aBP)全新世三个环境阶段,其结论与前人通过孢粉、同位素手段分析得到的金川泥炭剖面环境变迁规律相同,从而说明它们可以作为研究环境变迁的敏感指标。     

Thermal metamorphism of primitive meteorites—II. Ten trace elements in Abee enstatite chondrite heated at 400–1000°C

We used neutron activation analysis to determine ten trace elements retained in Abee (E4) samples heated at 400–1000°C for 1 week in a low-pressure (initially ~ 10^?5atm H₂) environment. Eight elements generally are lost progressively with increasing temperature although gas(es) evolved from the samples apparently affect retention of some elements. In the extreme, ‘open-system’ losses are: Se—23%, Cs—40%; Te—87%; Ag, Bi, In, Tl, Zn— ≥93%. Under these conditions Co is not lost; Ga is lost only at 1000°C. At 900°C elements are lost from Abee chips in the same relative order as from Abee powder but the loss is somewhat less facile. Three of the most mobile elements—Bi, In, Tl—are lost more readily from Abee than from Allende (C3), the only other primitive chondrite studied to date. Assuming that elemental loss is a kinetic process involving mobilization from spherical grains, Bi, In, Se, Tl and Zn have different activation energies at high and low temperatures either because each element was originally present in two different sites or each has more than one loss mechanism (diffusion or desorption) in different temperature ranges.Comparison of elemental abundance patterns, patterns of statistically-significant correlations, factor analysis results and two-element correlation diagrams indicate strong similarities between heated Abee and ‘as-received’ enstatite chondrites for mobile elements. These results are consistent with a two-stage evolutionary model for enstatite chondrites involving condensation of cosmochemically fractionated primitive nebular material and subsequent loss of mobile elements from parent material by metamorphism.

Ion probe dating of a migmatite in SW Sweden: the fate of zircon in crustal processes

A migmatitic orthogneiss in the Western Segment in the Sveconorwegian Province of the Baltic Shield was dated using the ion-probe U–Pb method on zircon grains, which were also analysed for rare earth elements. Mesosome zircons have 1.605±0.010 Ga magmatic cores, which places the gneiss protolith in the same 1.61–1.59 Ga time bracket as continental arc-related gneisses, abundant in this part of the Sveconorwegian Province. These cores show REE profiles with strong HREE enrichment, positive Ce- and negative Eu-anomalies, typical of magmatic zircon. Migmatite leucosomes are folded and parallel with or slightly discordant to the fabric. They contain a small population of zircon with cores and metamorphic rims, which are interpreted as xenocrysts incorporated in the leucosome during melting of the mesosome. CL-bright metamorphic embayments and rims on xenocrysts reflect 1.01±0.05 Ga Sveconorwegian metamorphic reworking. Ce-anomalies are nearly absent and Eu-anomalies are reduced relative to igneous spots. This is probably a feature of fluid controlled environments where Ce and Eu oxidation states are buffered by the metamorphic fluid. From this and discordant rims from the mesosome we also conclude that the rims formed by reworking of the older zircon where the Pb-loss was also fluid induced. In the leucosome veins, magmatic acicular zircon gives 0.92±0.01 Ga, ascribed to the crystallisation of the veins. They originated by local melting, probably augmented by magma that formed at a deeper level. Widespread granitic and noritic late-Sveconorwegian magmatism close to 0.92 Ga in other parts of the Western Segment has equivalents in the Norwegian sectors of the Sveconorwegian Province. Leucosome formation was therefore part of a regional event related to exhumation of the Sveconorwegian Eastern Segment. We also provide the first unequivocal evidence for ductile deformation related to late-Sveconorwegian magmatism.
