云南腾冲青海湖泊沉积物物化参数的特点、环境意义及末次冰消期以来气候环境变化

根据对云南腾冲青海湖泊沉积钻孔样品的粒度特征、总有机碳、碳酸盐、磁化率及年代学分析测试,探讨了各指标的变化特点及其环境指示意义,指出了云南高原湖泊沉积物化指标的特殊性及其变化特点.在此基础上,重建了云南腾冲地区末次冰消期(15830a B.P.)以来沉积环境与气候干湿变化历史.通过青海沉积物年代序列的重建和综合各物化参数分析得出,云南腾冲地区自15830a B.P.以来总体呈现冷湿-温湿-暖干-温和偏干的气候演变过程,并可分为4个阶段,即15830～12790a B.P.气候温凉偏湿;12790～4680a B.P.为温暖湿润期,湖泊水位高,气候湿暖,降水多;4680～312a B.P.气候特征呈现出从温湿到暖干气候逐渐演化,降水减少,湖泊水位下降;312a B.P.以来气候特征为前期温和湿润,后期具有暖干化特征,反映了近几十年来全球气候变暖导致的气候变化趋势并叠加了研究区人类活动对区域环境的影响.     

桑沟湾养殖海域沉积物中碳埋藏通量的长期记录

对取自桑沟湾北部和南部养殖海域2个站位柱状沉积物样品进行研究,测定了它们的总碳(TC)、有机碳(TOC)、无机碳(TIC)含量,估算了海源有机碳(Ca),结合沉积物年代序列测定,对碳的来源和埋藏通量(BF)进行分析。结果表明:从19世纪到20世纪初,桑沟湾碳埋藏基本处于平稳期;20世纪初开始,伴随着中国工业革命兴起,湾内营养水平提高,大量天然小型贝类繁殖及残骸埋藏使桑沟湾碳埋藏量有大幅度突跃;20世纪60年代以来人工养殖活动兴起及到90年代大规模养殖后,天然贝类繁殖受抑制且伴随养殖产品的不断收获,使此期间碳埋藏量又处于平稳期。20世纪60年代前BFCa/BFTOC和BFCa/BFTC的比值分别在20%和4%以下波动,其后随养殖活动增加呈显著增大趋势;但BFTOC/BFTC比值基本在40%以下范围内波动。并将该区与取自黄海中部一柱状沉积物的BFTIC/BFTC比值作对比,桑沟湾BFTIC/BFTC比值基本在60%~98%之间远高于黄海中部(约15%)的比值,桑沟湾TIC与TC含量高比值使仅应用TOC或Ca含量估算碳埋藏通量可能带来巨大误差。     

Transformation of organic carbon and its potential impact on lead weathering in firing range soils

Lead （Pb） is normally considered as a trace element in soils and sediments for geochemical study. However, the concentration of Pb in firing range soils is generally so high that it should be considered as a major element during the evaluation of the soil geochemical properties. Soil organic matter （SOM） has been reported as one of the major factors to expedite the corrosion of metallic lead （Pb） in acidic and organic-rich soils. The main impacts of SOM on the fate and transport of Pb in firing range soils lie in the following two aspects; （1） the complexation of organic matter with Pb, which has received lots of attention, and; （2） changes in soil redox potential due to the transformation of SOM and its subsequent impact on Pb speciation, which has rarely been investigated. Soils from 6 different firing ranges are selected for this study. These samples have been stored under a closed condition for more than 3 years. The soil moisture contents were well-retained, as all the samples were kept in closed plastic buckets. The analytical data showed that the summation of the soil total organic carbon content （TOC） and inorganic carbon contents （TIC） were consistent with soil total carbon contents （TC） measured in previous years, although the TOC and TIC contents have changed respectively after years of storage. In general, it is observed that the soil TOC decreased against an increase of TIC. The mass balance on such a transformation suggested a major conversion of organic carbon （Corg） to inorganic carbon （CO3^2-） in the stored soils.
