Seasonal and annual variation of CO2 flux above a broad-leaved Korean pine mixed forest

Long-term measurement of carbon metabolism of old-growth forests is critical to predict their behaviors and to reduce the uncertainties of carbon accounting under changing climate. Eddy covariance technology was applied to investigate the long-term carbon exchange over a 200 year-old Chinese broad-leaved Korean pine mixed forest in the Changbai Mountains (128°28′E and 42°24′N, Jilin Province, P. R. China) since August 2002. On the data obtained with open-path eddy covariance system and CO₂ profile measurement system from Jan. 2003 to Dec. 2004, this paper reports (i) annual and seasonal variation of F _NEE, F _GPP and R _E; (ii) regulation of environmental factors on phase and amplitude of ecosystem CO₂ uptake and release Corrections due to storage and friction velocity were applied to the eddy carbon flux.

L_AI and soil temperature determined the seasonal and annual dynamics of F_GPP and R_E separately. V_PD and air temperature regulated ecosystem photosynthesis at finer scales in growing seasons. Water condition at the root zone exerted a significant influence on ecosystem maintenance carbon metabolism of this forest in winter.

The forest was a net sink of atmospheric CO₂ and sequestered −449 g C·m⁻² during the study period; −278 and −171 gC·m⁻² for 2003 and 2004 respectively. F _GPP and F _RE over 2003 and 2004 were −1332, −1294 g C·m⁻². and 1054, 1124 g C·m⁻² respectively. This study shows that old-growth forest can be a strong net carbon sink of atmospheric CO₂.

There was significant seasonal and annual variation in carbon metabolism. In winter, there was weak photosynthesis while the ecosystem emitted CO₂. Carbon exchanges were active in spring and fall but contributed little to carbon sequestration on an annual scale. The summer is the most significant season as far as ecosystem carbon balance is concerned. The 90 days of summer contributed 66.9, 68.9% of F _GPP, and 60.4, 62.1% of R _E of the entire year.

     

Major features of warm and cold eddies south of the Nansei Islands

As regards the eddies occurring in the origination region of the Kuroshio (west of 130° E), the earliest informations were reported by R. Shigematsu (1932) and K. Koenuma (1936) respectively. From the data observed in the twenties, they pointed out that there was a warm eddy located to the right side of the Kuroshio in the Luzon Strait. Using the data obtained from the fourties through the sixties, Nitani further convinced the existence of the warm eddy. During the latest two decades, observations of the area south of the Nansei Islands on board of R/V Chofu Maru (1965, '66, '67) and Hakuho Maru (1974, '75) also revealed the existence of warm and cold eddies, but few works on "eddies" are reported, so far as we know.     

Decoupling of stalagmite-derived Asian summer monsoon records from North Atlantic temperature change during marine oxygen isotope stage 5d

The Asian monsoon is an important component of the global climate system. Seasonal variations in wind, rainfall, and temperature associated with the Asian monsoon systems affect a vast expanse of tropical and subtropical Asia. Speleothem-derived summer monsoon variation in East Asia was previously found to be closely associated with millennial-scale change in temperature in the North Atlantic region between 75 and 10 ka. New evidence recovered from East Asia, however, suggests that the teleconnection between summer monsoon in East Asia and temperature change in the North Atlantic region may have significantly reduced during 120 to ~ 110 ka, a period directly after the full last interglaciation and corresponding roughly to marine oxygen isotope stage 5d. This reduction may be due to the low ice volume in the North Hemisphere at that time, which makes the millennial-scale change in temperature in the North Atlantic region less effective in influencing the Asian summer monsoon. This is important for investigating the mechanisms controlling the Asian summer monsoon and the paleoclimatic teleconnection between East Asia and the North Atlantic region, and for predicting monsoon-associated precipitation in East Asia under a global-warming trend.     

内蒙古敖包吐萤石矿床的Sr、Nd、Pb同位素地球化学特征

敖包吐萤石矿床是内蒙古北部苏莫查干地区单一萤石矿集区中的一个代表性矿床,产于早二叠世大石寨组火山-沉积岩与早白垩世敖包吐花岗岩的接触带上。文章通过分析该矿床岩、矿石的微量元素和稀土元素,揭示出萤石的成矿作用可分为2个阶段,即交代作用和充填作用。交代作用过程中大石寨组的结晶灰岩可能为萤石的形成提供了部分Ca来源,萤石矿石的稀土元素配分模式与海水基本类似,具有Ce负异常;成矿作用后期主要表现为充填作用,形成颗粒粗大的萤石,表现为重稀土元素富集的特征,并随着萤石的沉淀析出,稀土元素总量逐渐下降,反映出成矿流体经历了较长期的演化过程。各地层单元、花岗岩体和萤石矿石的Sr、Nd、Pb同位素研究表明,萤石的放射性同位素组成具有壳、幔源混合的特点,成矿物质来源具有多源性。早白垩世敖包吐花岗岩可能是萤石中F的主要来源,而大石寨组的结晶灰岩则可能提供了Ca。另外,Pb、Nd同位素的极大不均一性,有可能是成矿流体在运移过程中对艾力格庙群放射性组分的选择性吸收的结果。萤石成矿作用与钾玄岩的时空关系暗示了萤石的成矿过程可能是中国东部岩石圈减薄和下地壳的置换地质事件的结果。在构造转型的过程中,燕山中期富碱的酸性花岗岩浆的活动分异出富含F的成矿流体,与幔源流体混合,沿区域重新活化的深大断裂和大石寨组的层间破碎带上升,交代其间的灰岩透镜体,从而形成敖包吐中型萤石矿床。     

晚三叠世松潘甘孜和川西前陆盆地的物源对比：构造演化和古地理变迁的线索

为了研究龙门山褶皱冲断带两侧的松潘甘孜和川西前陆盆地在大地构造和沉积学方面存在的联系,笔者等分别在松潘甘孜东缘马尔康—理县地区和川西前陆盆地都江堰地区进行了采样和碎屑锆石的LAICPMS UPb定年工作。269颗锆石的定年结果显示,中—晚三叠世拉丁期—诺利期松潘甘孜复理石盆地东缘沉积地层中的碎屑锆石年龄主要集中在250~280 Ma、1800~1900 Ma和2400~2500 Ma、200~245 Ma、400~450 Ma,对应的物源主要为东昆仑岛弧、华北陆块基底、义敦岛弧以及北秦岭。与之相比,川西前陆盆地诺利期—瑞替期的须家河组地层中的碎屑锆石年龄大致主要集中在1800~1900 Ma和2400~2500 Ma、720~850 Ma、950~1200 Ma、400~450 Ma。该统计结果总体上继承了松潘甘孜数据体的特征,揭示出须家河组物源来自西部——松潘甘孜褶皱带的再旋回沉积和龙门山前陆冲断带。     

贡嘎山海螺沟冰川径流水文规律的同位素示踪研究

应用同位素地球化学的基本原理和示踪技术, 对贡嘎山海螺沟冰川河源区和干流的不同区段, 不同时域径流的组成特点及其水文动态变化规律进行分析研究.结果表明: 贡嘎山海螺沟冰川河源区水的组成, 不同季节、不同时段(早、晚)有明显的变化. 夏季晚上的水大约有82.4%是来自冰川区的水, 17.6%为非冰川区的径流; 早晨中的水来自冰川区的占74.6%, 非冰川区径流占25.4%. 冰川消融水的最大可占总水量的6.9%～7.8%左右. 在冬季时段, 冰舌末端排泄水(BCH-1)和冰川水文站(HLG-6)径流的同位素组成均低于底部冰川冰(BCB-2: -16.639‰), 显示出严重同位素不平衡的特点, 反映了冬季底部冰川消融水在源区水(BCH-1)中的贡献已达很低的程度, 而代之以冰川上部占主导优势的雨雪水. 这意味着在冬季当地冰川的退缩速度与夏季相比有明显减慢的趋势. 示踪表明, 在冰川水文站附近区域内存在水的渗漏, 夏季可能延伸到倒中桥(HLG-13采样点上方)一带, 下渗水通过地下通道, 到杉树坪(HLG-2采样点)邻近的区域回补到河道内.     

相山铀矿田成矿物质来源探讨

铀源分析是铀矿床成因研究中的关键问题.在分析区域铀丰度特征的基础上,根据区域成矿物质在地质历史过程中的时空演化,结合相山矿田矿石铅同位素组成及岩、矿石微量元素地球化学对矿田铀源分析的指示,认为下寒武统地层为区域铀源层,相山火山盆地是区域成矿物质的"汇"区,岩浆及期后热液是铀的载体,即岩浆作用实现了铀从"源"到"汇"之间的物质转移.在岩浆演化过程中,铀向气液转移,为铀成矿提供了物质基础,岩浆期后流体-岩石相互作用,也促使了基底片岩、流纹英安岩中的部分铀进入成矿溶液.
