石笋矿物由文石转变为方解石,其碳、氧同位素组成如何变化的认识对于古环境研究具有重要意义。选取江西省神农宫洞石笋SN15进行研究,X衍射分析测试证明其主体部分的矿物组成为文石,部分位置文石转变为方解石。相同层位文石和转变方解石的碳、氧同位素组成分析结果表明,转变方解石与原生文石相比,δ13 C值几乎没有变化;而δ18 O值明显偏负,且不是系统性偏负,偏负范围为0.2‰~1.4‰。因此,原生文石记录的降水氧同位素组成在矿物转变时受到扰动,转变方解石的氧同位素组成信息不能用于高分辨率古气候与古环境研究;碳同位素组成虽然变化很小,使用时也需慎重。  相似文献

采用SEM(扫描电子显微镜)和HRTEM(高分辨透射电子显微镜)技术,系统地研究了珍珠层及其微结构.发现珍珠质层是由有机质胶结的文石组成片状晶层,文石大量为六边形、不规则多边形和近圆形,并与有机质层交互平行叠置.在棱柱层的柱状晶体周围也有纤维状、胶状有机质.同时,在棱柱状和片状文石晶体的截面上,含有大量纳米级的圆形、椭圆形等形状的有机质、气液包裹体或孔洞.其中许多部位的有机基质中不同程度地显现出晶格条纹像,均为纳米矿物所致.以上结果均表明珍珠层具有有序、精细、多层次、整体性好等优良的结构特点.这一结论对于探讨珍珠的成因、机械强度及医药保健性能等方面均具有重要的意义.  相似文献

双壳类壳体碳酸盐(文石)稳定同位素组成已被广泛地用于古气候和古环境重建研究中,但是双壳类壳体碳同位素组成所指示的气候和环境意义一直是争议的问题.对双壳类河蚬(corbicula fluminea)进行了室内养殖,并选取两个壳体样品(壳高,A=13 mm,B=9mm),测定其生长部分壳体和生长期间水体碳同位素,研究表明,随着水体碳同位素的升高(δ13CDIC由-5.24‰升至1.41‰),两壳体碳同位素也随之升高,表明水体对壳体碳同位素的影响;δ13CA分布范围为-4.76‰~2.09‰,δ13CB为-8.49‰~2.89,壳体A和B碳同位素均比预测平衡值偏负,表明壳体在形成过程中利用了新陈代谢产生的富集12C的CO2.根据计算壳体A在实验中沉淀部分壳体利用新陈代谢碳的比例(M值)为24%~43%,平均值为33%;壳体B为33%~75%,平均值为58%.M值随生物的生长呈下降变化,这说明在实验中河蚬主要是通过增加对DIC的吸收和利用来满足壳体生长对物质量增加的需求.  相似文献

石笋矿物类型、成因及其对气候和环境的指示   总被引:5,自引:2,他引:3  
洞穴石笋的矿物组成分为方解石、文石和文石-方解石三种类型。本文总结了国内外已有的研究成果,并结合野外观测现象和数据,讨论了影响石笋矿物形成和转变的因素,分析了利用石笋矿物类型特征研究古气候和古环境变化的可行性。洞内滴水饱和度和滴水中Mg/Ca比值是影响石笋矿物类型的主要因素:当滴水Mg/Ca 比值较低(Mg/Ca<1或<<1)时,滴水饱和度较低易形成方解石,而文石沉积则需要更高的滴水饱和度;当滴水Mg/Ca 比值较高(Mg/Ca≥1)时,方解石相对文石沉积需要更高的滴水饱和度。洞穴围岩镁含量高且滴水多而稳定的洞内环境是我国南方大量文石笋发育的主要原因。长期处于滴水淋滤环境的文石笋容易向方解石转变,但若滴水中Mg2+浓度较大,此转变过程会受到抑制。在围岩镁含量较低的洞穴中,干旱时期渗流水滞留时间长、滴水速率变慢,会造成滴水中Mg/Ca比值升高并引起文石沉积。因此,石笋矿物类型及矿物相转变可指示气候和环境的变化。   相似文献

生物壳体碳酸盐的稳定氧、碳同位素已经被广泛地应用在古气候、古环境研究中,在生物壳体就位分析中,壳体不同断面上同位素的差异将影响对壳体同位素所指示的环境意义的判断,从而对利用其提取气候环境信息造成不利影响。本文对河蚬壳体不同断面碳氧同位素进行了研究,结果表明:河蚬壳体碳同位素变化序列在不同断面上不存在显著差异,因此在做碳同位素时间序列研究时可以不考虑不同断面差异的问题,在取样过程中可以通过延长取样的长度来获得足够量的样品进行碳同位素的测定;而氧同位素变化序列在不同断面上存在差异,因此在进行壳体就位分析研究时,选取不同断面上氧同位素变化序列对研究结果影响较大,存在壳体断面选择的问题,而在取样过程中取样的长度应控制在一定范围内,避免同一生长环上距离较远位置粉末的混合。文中最后根据壳体不同断面同位素差异确定了在壳体就位分析中如何选取研究断面。  相似文献

为了解淡水珍珠的成珠过程,采用环境扫描电子显微镜对开膜法养殖异形淡水珍珠样品的表面微形貌特征进行了观察。结果显示,在异形淡水珍珠样品珍珠层中,成层排列的文石板块形状各异,具有多层和有序的特点;在珍珠层的生长初期,形成于成核小片上的有机质为三角帆蚌外套膜细胞所分泌,其为后期矿物提供进一步沉淀的局限空间和成核作用的基底,具有确定矿物成核大小、空间排列、结晶取向和离子堆积是否出现同质多象的功能。同时,珍珠样品表面出现了与在海水珍珠和以淡水池蝶蚌为母贝的淡水珍珠中类似的螺旋生长纹,这可能是其在生长过程中受有机质的调控作用,使文石晶体在不同部位上的堆积具有差异性,也使文石晶体在特定面网方向上生长,控制了其成核结晶取向和堆叠方式,导致其螺旋堆积,形成类似螺旋纹的生长外观。  相似文献

对辽东湾周边七条河流下游段河漫滩沉积物的碎屑矿物进行了鉴定,分析了轻重矿物组分的差异、流域基岩类型和沉积物粒度对碎屑矿物组成的影响。轻矿物组成以石英和长石占绝对优势。由于辽东湾西侧河流(六股河、小凌河和大凌河)和东侧河流(双台子河、大辽河、复州河)位于两个构造块体之上,不同的基岩类型导致重矿物组合差别很大。湾西河流普通角闪石含量低、金属矿物含量高,湾东河流则相反,这两种组分能有效区分辽东湾东西两侧的河流,同时也可将滦河与上述河流区分开。石榴子石和普通辉石含量特征可区分湾西三条河流,特征为大凌河前者含量高,小凌河后者含量高,六股河两者含量都很低。绿帘石和阳起石的含量在湾东河流沉积物中差别较大,特征为双台子河前者含量高,大辽河后者含量高,复州河两者含量都很低。七条河流片状矿物和碳酸盐矿物含量低的特征有别于黄河沉积物。  相似文献

Increased interest in using bivalve cultivation to mitigate eutrophication requires a comprehensive understanding of the net carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) budgets associated with cultivation on an ecosystem scale. This study quantified C and N processes related to clam (Mercenaria mercenaria) aquaculture in a shallow coastal environment (Cherrystone Inlet, VA) where the industry has rapidly increased. Clam physiological rates were compared with basin-wide ecosystem fluxes including primary production, benthic nutrient regeneration, and respiration. Although clam beds occupy only 3 % of the ecosystem’s surface area, clams filtered 7–44 % of the system’s volume daily, consumed an annual average of 103 % of the phytoplankton production, creating a large flux of particulate C and N to the sediments. Annually, N regenerated and C respired by clam and microbial metabolism in clam beds were ~3- and ~1.5-fold higher, respectively, than N and C removed through harvest. Due to the short water residence time, the low watershed load, and the close vicinity of clam beds to the mouth of Cherrystone Inlet, cultivated clams are likely subsidized by phytoplankton from the Chesapeake Bay. Consequently, much of the N released by mineralization associated with clam cultivation is “new” N as it would not be present in the system without bivalve facilitation. Macroalgae that are fueled by the enhanced N regeneration from clams represents a eutrophying process resulting from aquaculture. This synthesis demonstrates the importance of considering impacts of bivalve aquaculture in an ecosystem context especially relative to the potential of bivalves to remove nutrients and enhance C sinks.  相似文献

On the west coast of British Columbia (BC), Canada, the intertidal regions are under ever increasing pressure to be used primarily for near-bottom mariculture practices. These include seeding the foreshore with the nonindigenous Venerupis philippinarum (Manila clam) followed by the application of antipredator netting. The Manila is confamilial with the indigenous Leukoma staminea (littleneck clam), and seeding could possibly provide a competitive advantage for the Manila leading to the extirpation of the littleneck within coastal BC. Over two survey years, nine and seven farm-reference paired beaches (18 and 14 beaches) from three geographically distinct regions of BC were sampled for abundances and size class structure of the Manila and littleneck clam. Several lines of evidence suggest that the Manila is replacing the native littleneck; (1) comparison of average abundances of the littleneck versus Manila showed a significantly greater number of Manila on both farmed and reference sites across all three regions (p?<?0.05; years I and II); (2) as distance between farmed and reference sites increased, numbers of littlenecks on reference sites also increased suggesting that close proximity to farmed sites increases the effect of seeding on numbers of the native species; (3) comparison of percent similarity of the population structure as determined by size class distribution for the Manila versus the littleneck clam indicated that intertidal reference sites in close proximity to farmed sites tended to be more similar to each other with respect to similar Manila population structure versus that of the littleneck (r?=?0.4; p?=?0.08); (4) within the region where active farming is the most aggressive (Baynes Sound), Manila clams are the dominant bivalve on all sampled intertidal regions; and (5) where the dispersal of “wild” (not-seeded) Manila clam is prevented because of thermal tolerance limits, the littleneck is the dominant bivalve. Ecological consequences of such species replacement on intertidal function are as yet known.  相似文献

Studies of the chemical characteristics of mussels and clams in seafloor hydrothermal fields are important for understanding mass fluxes and elemental partitioning from hydrothermal vents into the biosphere, metal bioaccumulation of seafloor hydrothermal ecosystems, and the sources and sinks of biogeochemical and fluid cycles. We are the first to measure the mineral, major, trace and rare earth element, and carbon and oxygen isotope compositions of mussels (Bathymodiolus platifrons) and clams (Conchocele bisecta) from the Tangyin and Yonaguni Knoll IV hydrothermal fields in the southwestern Okinawa Trough. Mineralogical analysis shows that the carbonate shells of the mussel and clam samples are mainly composed of calcite and aragonite. Metal elements exhibit linear correlations in the shells (e.g., V and U) and tissues (e.g., Li and Rb) of the mussels and clams, suggesting that not all positive correlations of elements in tissues are inherited by the shells. V/As, Ca/Sr, and Fe/Cr ratios in the mussels and clams are close to those in the seawater, indicating that element ratios of seawater might be inherited by the mussels and clams. In addition, the Fe/Cr ratio of the shells of both mussels and clams can be used to trace the local seawater composition.The total LREE concentrations of mussel and clam tissue samples are higher than those of the mussel and clam shell samples, are similar to the hydrothermal fluids, exhibit LREE enrichment (LaCN/NdCN ratios = 1.86-32.1), and no or only slightly negative Eu anomalies, indicating that benthic animals are a sink of LREEs from hydrothermal fluids, and that the Eu/Eu* ratios of fluids change when fluids are incorporated into the tissues of the mussels and clams. In addition, the δ13C values of mussel shell samples are heavier than those of the clam shell samples in the hydrothermal field, indicating that more than one carbon source may be involved in defining the δ13C compositions of the shells. The majority of the δ18O values of clam shell samples fall in the range of δ18O values of the mussel shell samples, and are close to the hydrothermal fluid δ18OH2O values, implying that the δ18O values of mussel and clam shell carbonate is influenced by the hydrothermal environment (magmatic water and fluid dilution with seawater).  相似文献

Abstract: Human activity during the Holocene in the Horqin region, northeastern China, has been widely documented. As an important proxy record of human activity, black carbon (BC) in sediments has been linked to climate change and human adaptation. A loess-paleosol section located in south Horqin was chosen for this study. Holocene climate change and human adaptation to the environment were discussed by analyzing BC, organic carbon (OC) and other proxies. The conclusions included: (1) before 3900 cal BP, human activity was closely related to the natural environment and cultural development was dominated by climate change. For example, the rapid decline of the agrarian Hongshan culture was caused by a slight decrease in temperature at ~5000 cal BP; (2) during 3900-3200 cal BP, the heavy dependence of human societies on nature gradually lessened and the ability of those human societies to adapt to the environment was enhanced. However, the farming-dominated Lower Xiajiadian culture was nonetheless replaced by the pastoralist Upper Xiajiadian culture due to an extremely cooling event at ~3200 cal BP; (3) during the late Holocene period, the marked influence of climate change on human activity might have lessened as a result of a clear improvement in human labor skills. After this, human living styles were influenced by cultural developments rather than climate change because humans had mastered more powerful means of productivity.  相似文献

During the last several decades, the waters of mid Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island have increased in temperature and decreased in chlorophyll concentration, and it is possible that these changes affected the growth and success of a common benthic filter feeder, the hard clam, Mercenaria mercenaria. We determined recent hard clam growth rates through a sclerochronological analysis and compared them to the rich historical record of Narragansett Bay growth rates in order to understand how these opposing changes influenced hard clam growth. We found no significant differences in short-term growth between 1985 and 2000. Long-term juvenile growth showed a significant decrease between the 1960s and 1990s, while long-term adult (mature) growth showed a significant increase over this same time period. While it is not clear why the changes in juvenile and adult growth rates differ, it appears as though the decrease in chlorophyll concentration, together with a change in phytoplankton community composition, increasing water temperature, and an increase in predator abundance, may all have influenced hard clam growth between the 1960s and the 1990s.  相似文献

Factors affecting Kepone uptake and lipid content of the clam,Rangia cuneata, were tested over a 12 month study. Clams obtained from the Rappahannock and James Rivers were held in submersible liver boxes at two sites in the James River estuary and were sampled monthly from September 1978 through August 1979. Clams held in the freshwater zone near the source of Kepone contamination (Hopewell, Virginia) generally had higher Kepone and lipid content than those held downstream in the oligohaline zone. Significant differences in Kepone content between test sites and months are largely, but not entirely, a function of ambient water temperature, dissolved oxygen, amount of lipid in the clam, turbidity, Kepone content of the water column and duration of exposure. Lipid content of clams varied significantly between test sites, river of origin and months and is significantly related to salinity, ambient water temperature, pH and duration of exposure. Kepone content was more closely correlated with total lipid stores of clams than any other real variable. This association may be due to lipid reserves acting as a storage site for Kepone, but may also be interpreted as the result of selection against clams lacking lipid stores that might act as reservoirs for Kepone thus protecting more delicate tissues.  相似文献

Predation byPanopeus herbstii onMercenaria mercenaria was significantly affected by temperature, and the size of predators and prey items. LargerP. herbstii opened more clams and preyed more successfully on larger clams than did smaller crabs. Increase in seed clam size and decrease in water temperature significantly reduced predation. Clam size appeared to be more important than crab satiation in reducing predation rate. Planting larger seed clams in cooler months should help to improve clam survival by reducing the impact ofP. herbstii in culture operations.  相似文献

The hard clam Mercenaria mercenaria burrows deeper into the sediment when the predaceous sea star, Asterias forbesi is present. The supposition that this increase in burial depth represents an escape response designed to reduce predation was tested experimentally by regulating clam burial depth through manipulation of the amount of sediment available for burial. Mercenaria maintained at zero depth were eaten by Asterias at greater rates than those held at ordinary burial depths (2.5–3.0 cm). These clams in turn were eaten at greater rates than those maintained at escape depths (4.0–4.5 cm). The results unambiguously establish an anti-predator function for the burrowing response, as well as underscoring the protective function of the fossorial habit. They are not confounded by behavioral predator food preferences, inherent differences between prey species, or debilitating side effects of preventing prey from escaping. Mechanisms by which the burrowing response may reduce predation are discussed and observations on the unreported clam-digging behavior of Asterias forbesi are presented.  相似文献
