早中新世沟鞭藻植物地理区系

对早中新世的沟鞭藻植物地理作了初步研究 ,提出北半球在当时可划分为 3个沟鞭藻地理区 ,即热带区、亚热带—温带区和北方区。热带区以典型的热带、亚热带种 Polysphaeridiumzoharyi丰富并存在偏爱热带、亚热带的种 Tuberculodiniumdinium vancampoae为特征 ,亚热带—温带区以同时存在 Tuberculodiniumdinium vancampoae和温带种 Bitectatodinium tepikiense,但缺失 Polysphaeridium zoharyi为特征 ,而北方区则以缺失 Polysphaeridium zoharyi和 Tuberculo-diniumdinium vancampoae二者且组合较贫乏为特征 ,亚热带—温带区的北界大致位于现今 68°N一线 ,此界线可随气温升高而北推 ,例如最温暖的早中新世晚期 ( 1 7～ 1 4 .5Ma)此界线可达 70°N。该带南界大致位于现今 4 5°N处 ,随着气候的转暖可能会变得模糊不清。北方区的海水此时凉而不结冰 ,即此时北极不存在冰盖。本文研究证实了前人根据大植物化石所得出的结论。     

小冰期以来中国季风温冰川对全球变暖的响应

中国的季风温冰川主要分布在青藏高原东南部、冰川覆盖面积为 １３ ２０３．２ ｋｍ２,占我国冰川 总面积的２２．２％．由于这类冰川的特性、对气候变暖极为敏感自小冰期最盛时（１７世纪）以来,温冰 川区平均升温０．８℃,冰川面积减小相当现代面积的３０％,为３９２１．２ｋｍ２．预估中国季风湿冰川区 ２１００年的升温值２．１℃,届时冰川面积将减少７５％,达９９００ ｋｍ２左右,考虑到降水增加趋势等因 素,实际冰川退缩比例不大于８０％,但这已足以说明温冰川的大规模衰退．其后果将对当地水资源 和环境产生重大影响     

Protected nearshore shallow and deep subtidal rocky reef communities differ in their trophic diversity but not their nutritional condition

Large physical changes that alter reef macrobenthos and fish assemblages occur with increasing depth, so the biological processes that regulate communities at different depths are expected to diverge. We used analyses of stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) and fatty acids to establish whether shallow (11–25 m) and deep (45–75 m) warm-temperate reef communities within a South African marine protected area differ in their trophic organisation and nutritional condition. We found evidence of enhanced nutritional condition in plankton from the deeper reef as compared with the shallow reef based on the essential fatty acid content, but this effect was generally not observed in the macrobenthos or the fish communities. Community-based indices derived from the stable isotope data indicated that the shallow-reef community had significantly greater niche diversification (greater diversity of carbon sources at the base of the food web) and more niche space occupied than the deep-reef community. One obvious difference in available carbon sources between reef communities was the absence of benthic primary production on the deep reef, where light is limiting. Our results highlight that the decreased trophic diversity, and to an extent functional redundancy, associated with the simplification of food webs at depth may translate into greater vulnerability of deep reefs to disturbance.     

中国西部大陆性冰川与海洋性冰川物质平衡变化及其对气候响应——以乌源1号冰川和帕隆94号冰川为例

为认识全球变暖背景下中国西部大陆性冰川与海洋性冰川物质平衡变化及其对气候响应,本研究以天山乌鲁木齐河源1号冰川和藏东南帕隆94号冰川为例,结合大西沟与察隅站气象资料,对1980 — 2015年两条冰川的物质平衡变化特征及差异进行了分析。结果表明：36 a来乌源1号冰川与帕隆94号冰川物质平衡总体上均呈下降趋势,累积物质平衡达-17102与-8159 mm w.e.,相当于冰川厚度减薄19与9.01 m,且分别于1996、2004年左右发生突变。同期两条冰川所处区域年均温呈显著上升趋势,而降水量却表现出不同的变化态势;二者年内气温分配相仿,但降水分配差异较大。初步分析认为气温上升是导致乌源1号冰川与帕隆94号冰川物质亏损的主要原因,冰川区气温和降水变化幅度的差异和地性因子（坡度、冰川面积）的不同使得乌源1号冰川对气候变化响应的敏感性高于帕隆94号冰川,由于目前海洋性冰川物质平衡监测时段相对较短,为深入研究中国西部冰川物质平衡变化及过程仍需加强对冰川的持续观测。     

中国暖温带海岸风尘沉积序列的研究现状与展望

中国暖温带海岸的风尘沉积序列是断续分布于渤海-北黄海沿岸的以黄褐色为主的粉砂质或砂质沉积物。通过查阅1960年以来的文献资料,综述了此类沉积的分布规律、地层形态、沉积特征、地质年代、形成机制和古环境演变等方面的成果,认为其主体为陆架沙漠化环境下的衍生沉积,是冬季风搬运近源物质的结果,时代上属中-晚更新世。因此,暖温带海岸风尘沉积序列是渤海-北黄海陆架沙漠化的有力佐证,且较好地记录了中国中更新世以来中纬度沿海地区的气候环境变化：时间上,气候逐渐干冷;空间上,自北向南风化作用增强。基于研究现状,展望了今后的工作重点和方向。     

我国典型海洋型冰川区高海拔区输出水量变化对气候变暖的响应

通过丽江盆地气象水文观测资料研究发现: 冰雪消融加剧、融水增加, 漾弓江流域径流量明显上升; 高海拔冰雪区消融期提前, 春季径流增加明显; 高海拔冰雪区的径流输出对漾弓江流域水量平衡的贡献量逐年增加, 体现了全球气候变暖背景下高海拔冰雪区对整个流域水循环的重要性.对海螺沟流域实测气象水文资料的分析也表明, 气候变暖背景下, 该流域冰雪区水量输出也逐年上升.两流域高海拔区输出水量的剧烈增加, 明显响应了气候变暖, 表明了流域水循环的加速, 这必然将对区域的发展和资源开发产生重要影响.      

POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGES ON AQUATIC SYSTEMS: LAURENTIAN GREAT LAKES AND PRECAMBRIAN SHIELD REGION

The region studied includes the Laurentian Great Lakes and a diversity of smaller glacial lakes, streams and wetlands south of permanent permafrost and towards the southern extent of Wisconsin glaciation. We emphasize lakes and quantitative implications. The region is warmer and wetter than it has been over most of the last 12000 years. Since 1911 observed air temperatures have increased by about 0·11°C per decade in spring and 0·06°C in winter; annual precipitation has increased by about 2·1% per decade. Ice thaw phenologies since the 1850s indicate a late winter warming of about 2·5°C. In future scenarios for a doubled CO₂ climate, air temperature increases in summer and winter and precipitation decreases (summer) in western Ontario but increases (winter) in western Ontario, northern Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. Such changes in climate have altered and would further alter hydrological and other physical features of lakes. Warmer climates, i.e. 2 × CO₂ climates, would lower net basin water supplies, stream flows and water levels owing to increased evaporation in excess of precipitation. Water levels have been responsive to drought and future scenarios for the Great Lakes simulate levels 0·2 to 2·5 m lower. Human adaptation to such changes is expensive. Warmer climates would decrease the spatial extent of ice cover on the Great Lakes; small lakes, especially to the south, would no longer freeze over every year. Temperature simulations for stratified lakes are 1–7°C warmer for surface waters, and 6°C cooler to 8°C warmer for deep waters. Thermocline depth would change (4 m shallower to 3·5 m deeper) with warmer climates alone; deepening owing to increases in light penetration would occur with reduced input of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from dryer catchments. Dissolved oxygen would decrease below the thermocline. These physical changes would in turn affect the phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthos and fishes. Annual phytoplankton production may increase but many complex reactions of the phytoplankton community to altered temperatures, thermocline depths, light penetrations and nutrient inputs would be expected. Zooplankton biomass would increase, but, again, many complex interactions are expected. Generally, the thermal habitat for warm-, cool- and even cold-water fishes would increase in size in deep stratified lakes, but would decrease in shallow unstratified lakes and in streams. Less dissolved oxygen below the thermocline of lakes would further degrade stratified lakes for cold water fishes. Growth and production would increase for fishes that are now in thermal environments cooler than their optimum but decrease for those that are at or above their optimum, provided they cannot move to a deeper or headwater thermal refuge. The zoogeographical boundary for fish species could move north by 500–600 km; invasions of warmer water fishes and extirpations of colder water fishes should increase. Aquatic ecosystems across the region do not necessarily exhibit coherent responses to climate changes and variability, even if they are in close proximity. Lakes, wetlands and streams respond differently, as do lakes of different depth or productivity. Differences in hydrology and the position in the hydrological flow system, in terrestrial vegetation and land use, in base climates and in the aquatic biota can all cause different responses. Climate change effects interact strongly with effects of other human-caused stresses such as eutrophication, acid precipitation, toxic chemicals and the spread of exotic organisms. Aquatic ecological systems in the region are sensitive to climate change and variation. Assessments of these potential effects are in an early stage and contain many uncertainties in the models and properties of aquatic ecological systems and of the climate system. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

横断山区典型海洋型冰川物质平衡研究

玉龙雪山发育着对气候变化响应极为敏感的典型海洋型冰川。基于2008-2013年共5个物质平衡年观测数据,对玉龙雪山规模最大的白水1号冰川物质平衡特征进行分析,为评估横断山区气候和冰川变化之间的关系奠定基础。结果表明：2008-2013年白水1号冰川物质平衡最大值仅为-907 mm w.e.,最小值则达到-1872 mm w.e.。2008年冰川平衡线高度为4972 m,2009-2013年白水1号冰川积累区近乎消失。白水1号冰川积累期主要集中于10月至次年5月,6-9月为强消融期,积累量几乎为零,消融量占全年80%,属冬春季积累型冰川。2008-2009、2011-2012和2012-2013年平均物质平衡梯度为1230 mm w.e. （100 m）^-1,消融期物质平衡梯度小于年物质平衡梯度,消融期初与消融期末物质平衡梯度小于100 mm w.e.（100 m）^-1。     

海岸现代风成砂粒度参数特征的研究--以中国温带海岸为例

现代海岸风成砂的粒度特征是海岸风沙研究的重要问题,本文以我国温带海岸为研究区域,利用 136个现代海岸风成砂样数据,通过粒度组成、平均粒径、标准偏差和偏差、峰态等粒度参数分析了其粒度特征。结果表明,我国温带海岸的现代风成砂并非过去认为的几乎全由分选很好的细砂组成,是以正偏为主,粒度参数的地域差异明显,并随沙丘类型、规模及距海岸线的远近不同等而变化。与海滩砂比较,风成砂具有普遍含有粉沙、略细、多正偏、峰态偏窄等特点,但利用粒度参数散点图和因子分析法二者均无法区分。我国温带海岸现代海岸风成砂粒度参数的上述特征与其特有的发育条件和演化过程密切相关,其中主要与季风气候特征显著、形成时间短、风力作用时间有限以及风沙活动空间狭小并受到水力与重力作用的干扰等有关。     

坡向和微地形对大型土壤动物空间分布格局的影响

尽管在景观和区域尺度上对土壤动物空间分布格局的研究已较多,但在小尺度上对局部微生境条件如何影响土壤动物多样性及其空间分布格局的研究还很少。以典型温带次生林为研究对象,采用样方法系统调查了林地阴坡和阳坡4个不同地形部位大型土壤动物群落的密度,并测定了不同地形部位的生境条件。采用三因子方差分析和对应分析等方法定量研究了坡向和地形部位对大型土壤动物群落密度的空间分布格局的影响。主要表现在：①在采集到的160个土壤样品中共检测到动物个体4 148个,分别隶属于26个不同的土壤动物类群;②坡向和地形部位对土壤动物的空间分布格局有显著的影响,但不同土壤动物类群对坡向和地形部位的响应模式存在一定的差异,这种差异的形成可能与不同土壤动物类群的生活习性和生物学特征密切相关。其结论是：在小尺度上,林地的坡向和微地形条件主要通过影响局部小生境的生物和非生物因子组合特征而对土壤动物的空间分布格局产生重要影响。
