为揭示岩溶洞穴滴水元素季节变化特征及其对外界气候环境变化的响应关系,对贵州绥阳双河洞系支洞麻黄洞内3处滴水的Mg、Ca、Sr元素进行了为期13个月的监测。结果显示:(1)3个滴水点M1、M2和M3的水化学类型主要为HCO3·Ca型,岩溶水对于方解石与白云石等矿物的溶解处于饱和状态;(2)上覆土壤和岩层厚度逐渐增加,导致水-土-岩作用时间也随之增加;(3)Ca^2+、Mg^2+、Sr^2+浓度变化总体上呈逐级递增的特点,各离子浓度在高温多雨季节波动幅度大,低温少雨季节变化平稳;(4)Mg/Ca、Sr/Ca均表现出雨季低、旱季高的特征,反映该地区外界干湿条件的变化;(5)由模型模拟显示,3个滴水点皆以PCP/ICD作用为主,M1对降雨响应不敏感,M2滴率与离子浓度呈雨季高、旱季低的变化规律,M3位于洞穴最深、顶板最厚处,滴率与离子浓度无显著季节变化特征。结合各滴水点洞穴环境变化规律,推断M2更能准确响应外界气候环境变化。  相似文献

为认识裸露型岩溶包气带洞穴水文水化学动态变化特征,以桂林硝盐洞滴水为例,选取桂林硝盐洞3处滴水,对滴速、电导率、pH值、Ca2+、Mg2+、Sr2+进行监测,结果显示:(1)岩溶洞穴滴水的离子浓度与温度降水关系密切,高温多雨时节岩溶作用加快,洞穴滴水中Ca2+、Mg2+含量升高,同时强降雨会导致离子浓度产生很大波动;(2)滴水化学性质受到土壤、基岩顶板厚度、滴水量等的影响,土壤层越厚,滴水中Ca2+含量越高;(3)受“慢速补给”的滴水点,其滴水量与离子浓度呈正相关性,而受“快速补给”的滴水点,其滴水量与离子浓度呈负相关性;同时接受两种方式补给的滴水点,其滴水量和离子浓度变化剧烈,且呈良好的正相关性。   相似文献

通过对芙蓉洞2006年3月—2009年2月期间泉水和洞穴滴水、池水的地球化学指标监测,结合当地的器测数据,初步认为洞穴滴水的Sr2+、Ca2+、Mg2+浓度及其比值既取决于环境降水和温度的变化,也受到上覆岩土作用的影响。芙蓉洞外山上的6#泉水Ca2+平均浓度为45.81mg/L,洞内1#、3#滴水Ca2+的平均浓度64.59mg/L,2#和4#池水中由于Ca2+沉积,浓度下降到24.74mg/L,下降了大约61.7%。Mg2+和Sr2+的浓度在泉水、滴水和池水中的变化规律与Ca2+基本一致。各种水体中Cl-的浓度变化幅度较小,平均浓度为1.72±0.2mg/L。岩溶水与基岩作用时间长短以及运移过程中Ca2+的前期沉积作用对各元素与离子含量变化具有重要作用。旱季Ca2+的前期沉积作用和雨季基岩的溶蚀及雨水的稀释作用主导着岩溶水中Mg/Ca与Sr/Ca的变化,这些指标能对干旱和洪涝等极端气候事件做出响应。   相似文献

自2006年11月到2007年12月对重庆丰都雪玉洞地下河水和滴水进行了近1年的观测,结果表明其主要水化学指标均表现出明显的季节变化趋势.地下河水Ca2+、Mg2+、HCO3-浓度和电导率在雨季升高而旱季降低,pH值在雨季降低而旱季升高.在地下河径流路径上,由于溶蚀效应与沉积效应的相互制约以及受采样点水动力条件和水气CO2交换程度的影响,水化学指标的空间变化较为复杂.位于洞穴顶部的滴水由于受顶板覆盖层厚度的影响,洞穴上层滴水点Ca2+、Mg2+年平均浓度分别为95.1mg/L、7.87mg/L,而下层滴水点分别为110.1mg/L、9.68mg/L,表现出上层高、下层低的空间变化特征.由于[Mg2+]/[Ca2+]值具有雨季低而旱季高的变化特征.所以可用之来指示洞穴所在地区降雨条件的变化.  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   

洞穴滴水、石笋中元素及元素比值对气候环境变化响应的研究进展

滴水/石笋元素是除δ18O和δ13C,研究气候环境变化的又一重要代用指标。外界气候环境变化通过改变表层岩溶带和岩溶含水层中的水文环境,甚至洞穴环境,进而影响元素的溶解、运移和沉淀过程,从而使得滴水/石笋中元素表现一定的变化规律。本文通过分析影响洞穴滴水元素及元素比值变化的因素：元素来源、水—岩相互作用和滞留时间、差异性淋滤、先期碳酸盐沉淀及分配系数的基础上,从元素对岩溶区“二元结构”和极端天气/气候事件响应的角度,探讨了滴水/石笋中元素的气候环境指示意义。取得了以下认识：① 强降水带来的冲刷作用和溶解作用,促进土壤和基岩中元素、胶体和天然有机质（NOM：Natural Organic Matter）等物质在短时间内快速溶解和运移,使滴水中元素含量增加;但随着降水增多带来的稀释作用,使得滴水/石笋中Mg,Sr和Ba等元素含量降低,因此,单一元素的解译较为复杂;② 但基岩/溶液中元素溶解和沉积的差异,导致元素相对含量的变化,使得元素X/Ca比值对外界环境的响应具有同一性,尤其是Mg/Ca和Sr/Ca比值：在干旱条件下,降水减少导致方解石先期沉积（PCP：Prior Calcite precipitation）作用增强,使Mg/Ca和Sr/Ca比值增大。但目前存在着一些问题：① Mg/Ca和Sr/Ca比值变化对强降水事件的响应并不明显,可能与新、老水混合及元素溶解过程中的溶解比例差别不大有关;② 多源、多期混合水源会导致洞穴滴水元素对极端事件响应减弱;③ Mg/Ca和Sr/Ca的变化为解释δ18O的“雨量效应”及“源效应”提供了见解,但元素变化能否反映季风强度的变化,仍有待进一步的研究。基于以上认识,笔者提出开展更加系统的大气—土壤—包气带—洞穴的监测;开展更高分辨率、更长时间尺度的洞穴监测;开展多区域、多洞穴系统对比研究来更加深入地开展洞穴石笋元素研究。  相似文献

通过对重庆芙蓉洞上覆基岩和土壤中元素分布特征以及表层岩溶泉水、土壤渗透水和洞穴滴水水化学特征的系统监测,发现Ca2+、Mg2+、Sr2+和SO42-在表层岩溶系统的基岩、土壤、水(土壤渗透水和洞穴滴水)三大载体的运移过程中发生了明显分异。Ca2+、Mg2+和Sr2+在基岩中平均质量比分别为239949ppm、129607ppm和123ppm,在土壤中分别为37458ppm、28360ppm和49ppm,土壤渗透水中分别为25.55mg/L、11.04mg/L和0.026mg/L,而在洞穴滴水中分别为64.37mg/L、37.87mg/L和0.044mg/L。Ca、Mg和Sr在土壤剖面中表现出明显的淋溶和淀积作用,其元素含量高低直接影响土壤渗透水元素含量;基岩的元素含量主导了土壤各层位、土壤渗透水及滴水中元素含量。不同滴水点的水其运移的路径、时间和环境条件不同,因此在利用洞穴次生化学沉积物元素地球化学特征来反映洞外环境变化时,需综合考虑各元素在岩-土-水中的分布迁移特征及其与环境因素的相互关系。   相似文献   

Seasonal dripwater Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca variations driven by cave ventilation: Implications for and modeling of speleothem paleoclimate records   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Corinne I. Wong  Jay L. Banner 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2011,75(12):3514-4950

A 4-year study in a central Texas cave quantifies multiple mechanisms that control dripwater composition and how these mechanisms vary at different drip sites. We monitored cave-air compositions, in situ calcite growth, dripwater composition and drip rate every 4-6 weeks. Three groups of drip sites are delineated (Groups 1-3) based on geochemical variations in dripwater composition. Quantitative modeling of mineral-solution reactions within the host carbonate rock and cave environments is used to identify mechanisms that can account for variations in dripwater compositions. The covariation of Mg/Ca (and Sr/Ca) and Sr isotopes is key in delineating whether Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca variations are dictated by water-rock interaction (i.e., calcite or dolomite recrystallization) or prior calcite precipitation (PCP). Group 1 dripwater compositions reflects a narrow range of the extent of water-rock interaction followed by varying amounts of prior calcite precipitation (PCP). Group 2 dripwater compositions are controlled by varying amounts of water-rock interaction with little to no PCP influence. Group 3 dripwater compositions are dictated by variable extents of both water-rock interaction and PCP. Group 1 drip sites show seasonal variations in dripwater Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca, whereas the other drip sites do not. In contrast to the findings of most previous dripwater Mg/Ca-Sr/Ca studies, these seasonal variations (at Group 1 drip sites) are independent of changes in water flux (i.e., rainfall and/or drip rate), and instead significantly correlate with changes in cave-air CO₂ concentrations. These results are consistent with lower cave-air CO₂, related to cool season ventilation of the cave atmosphere, enhancing calcite precipitation and leading to dripwater geochemical evolution via PCP. Group 1 dripwater Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca seasonality and evidence for PCP as a mechanism that can account for that seasonality, have two implications for many other regions where seasonal ventilation of caves is likely: (1) speleothem trace-element records may provide seasonal signals, and (2) such records may be biased toward recording climate conditions during the season when calcite is depositing. Additionally, we use our results to construct a forward model that illustrates the types of speleothem Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca variations that would result from varying controls on dripwater compositions. The model provides a basis for interpreting paleo-dripwater controls from high frequency Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca variations for speleothems from caves at which long term monitoring studies are not feasible.  相似文献

Cave dripwater hydrochemistry responds to environmental changes, both within and outside of the cave, and thereby conveys this information to any stalagmite fed by the drips. As stalagmites are important archives of climate proxy information, understanding how dripwater hydrochemistry responds to environmental forcing is critical. However, despite the large number of speleothems in SW China, the response of dripwater to regional climate variability is not yet adequately understood. A 3‐year study of three drip sites in Xueyu Cave, Chongqing Municipality, SW China, revealed the most important mechanisms controlling dripwater chemical variability. The principal chemical indices (pH, specific conductivity, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Sr²⁺ and ) in collected dripwaters and the local climate data were analysed in this study. The principal controls on the hydrochemistry were found to be the external climate and its changes, groundwater residence time, cave ventilation and prior calcite precipitation (PCP) processes. Dripwater hydrochemistry showed strongly coherent seasonal patterns despite the fact that all sites are Ca–HCO₃ type waters and supersaturated with calcite. Seasonal changes in dripwater hydrochemistry were influenced by the soil and vadose zone CO₂ content as well as groundwater residence time in the upper karst zone. Cave‐air CO₂ seasonal variations were consistent with changes in dripwater PCO₂ and cave ventilation. Trace element ratios (Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca) of dripwater were controlled by PCP processes. Seasonal variations in dripwater Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca ratios in Xueyu Cave showed inverse changes with the Asia Monsoon Index during the monitoring period, reflecting the seasonal climate changes that may have been recorded in the speleothems. Based on a linear regression of PCO₂ and the Ca²⁺ data in the cold–dry winter season, a 130‐ppm shift in cave‐air PCO₂ results in a 1‐ppm shift in dripwater Ca²⁺ concentration in Xueyu Cave. This study illustrates the importance of understanding factors controlling the changes in the composition of dripwater before it reaches the speleothem.  相似文献

选取桂林丫吉试验场硝盐洞为研究对象,通过示踪试验和高分辨率水文水化学监测,确定滴水补给来源,研究典型岩溶包气带洞穴滴水对降雨响应的水文过程。研究结果表明,硝盐洞XY5滴水主要受到两种径流成分补给,即集中补给的管道流和弥散流。硝盐洞上部包气带中可能存在表层岩溶带含水层,长期维持滴水流量。滴水流量、电导率和示踪剂浓度的峰值均出现在强降雨时段,表现出快速响应的管道流特征,存在降雨阈值引起硝盐洞滴水降雨响应。降雨前岩溶含水层水分条件是包气带水文响应差异的主要原因,雨季滴水对降雨响应迅速,XY5滴水对降雨响应的滞后时间为10 h;而旱季对降雨的响应滞后明显,滞后时间达9.8天,体现了土壤和表层岩溶带的调蓄作用。74.4 mm降雨量是旱季转雨季滴水响应的降雨阈值。借助于洞穴滴水的水文动态变化和示踪试验技术对于研究包气带水文过程,深入了解岩溶含水层结构及特征,揭示岩溶区降雨入渗补给机制具有重要作用。  相似文献   

Carbon mass-balance modelling and carbon isotope exchange processes in dynamic caves   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

Diverse interpretations have been made of carbon isotope time series in speleothems, reflecting multiple potential controls. Here we study the dynamics of ¹³C and ¹²C cycling in a particularly well-constrained site to improve our understanding of processes affecting speleothem δ¹³C values. The small, tubular Grotta di Ernesto cave (NE Italy) hosts annually-laminated speleothem archives of climatic and environmental changes. Temperature, air pressure, pCO₂, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and their C isotopic compositions were monitored for up to five years in soil water and gas, cave dripwater and cave air. Mass-balance models were constructed for CO₂ concentrations and tested against the carbon isotope data. Air advection forces winter pCO₂ to drop in the cave air to ca. 500 ppm from a summer peak of ca. 1500 ppm, with a rate of air exchange between cave and free atmosphere of approximately 0.4 days. The process of cave ventilation forces degassing of CO₂ from the dripwater, prior to any calcite precipitation onto the stalagmites. This phase of degassing causes kinetic isotope fractionation, i.e. ¹³C-enrichment of dripwater whose δ¹³C_DIC values are already higher (by about 1‰) than those of soil water due to dissolution of the carbonate rock. A subsequent systematic shift to even higher δ¹³C values, from −11.5‰ in the cave drips to about −8‰ calculated for the solution film on top of stalagmites, is related to degassing on the stalagmite top and equilibration with the cave air. Mass-balance modelling of C fluxes reveals that a very small percentage of isotopically depleted cave air CO₂ evolves from the first phase of dripwater degassing, and shifts the winter cave air composition toward slightly more depleted values than those calculated for equilibrium. The systematic ¹³C-enrichment from the soil to the stalagmites at Grotta di Ernesto is independent of drip rate, and forced by the difference in pCO₂ between cave water and cave air. This implies that speleothem δ¹³C values may not be simply interpreted either in terms of hydrology or soil processes.  相似文献   

雪玉洞岩溶地下水、地表水Ca2+、Mg2+、Sr2+变化特征研究   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1

通过2011年对重庆丰都雪玉洞洞内滴水和地下河河水,上覆岩层中出露的表层岩溶泉水和雪玉洞附近龙河河水等不同类型水中Ca2+、Mg2+、Sr2+浓度及Mg/Ca、Sr/Ca值的研究,发现不同水的Ca2+、Mg2+、Sr2+随外界降水条件的改变而出现明显变化。表层岩溶泉水Ca2+变化能够敏感反应外界降水条件改变,滴水对外界降雨的反应滞后接近1个月,地下河Ca2+可以反应雨季和旱季的变化,地表河水Ca2+全年比较稳定,但是对特殊干旱天气有显著响应。2011年不同类型水的Mg2+、Sr2+全年变化趋势基本一致,在降水较多的3、5、10月呈低值,在其他降水较少的月份浓度相对较高。各离子的这种变化特征主要是受到稀释效应、CO2效应以及所在地层的岩性的影响。雪玉洞不同类型水的Mg/Ca、Sr/Ca值呈现出滴水>地表河>地下河>表层岩溶泉的特点,反映出不同类型水在含水介质中滞留时间的长短,并且Mg/Ca、Sr/Ca值在降水较多的月份降低,在降水较少的月份升高;受碳酸钙的前期沉淀和运移路径差异的影响,不同类型水的Mg/Ca、Sr/Ca值变化稍有不同。因此,不同类型水的离子变化及其比值对外界降水条件变化的响应特征和时间的不同,决定了在利用元素及其比值反映外界环境变化时也要区别对待。   相似文献   

Influences of air CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> on hydrochemistry of drip water and implications for paleoclimate study in a stream-developed cave,SW China     

Xiaoxiao Wang  Yanhong Wu  Licheng Shen 《中国地球化学学报》2016,35(2):172-183

Cave air CO₂ is a vital part of the cave environment. Most studies about cave air CO₂ variations are performed in caves with no streams; there are few studies to date regarding the relationship of cave air CO₂ variations and drip water hydrochemistry in underground stream–developed caves. To study the relationship of underground stream, drip water, and cave air CO₂, monthly and daily monitoring of air CO₂ and of underground stream and drip water was performed in Xueyu Cave from 2012 to 2013. The results revealed that there was marked seasonal variation of air CO₂ and stream hydrochemistry in the cave. Daily variations of cave air CO₂, and of stream and drip water hydrochemistry, were notable during continuous monitoring. A dilution effect was observed by analyzing hydrochemical variations in underground stream and drip water after rainfall. High cave air CO₂ along with low pH and low δ¹³C_DIC in stream and drip water indicated that air CO₂ was one of the dominant factors controlling stream and drip water hydrochemistry on a daily scale. On a seasonal scale, stream flows may promote increased cave air CO₂ in summer; in turn, the higher cave air CO₂ could inhibit degassing of drip water and make calcite δ¹³C more negative. Variation of calcite δ¹³C (precipitated from drip water) was in reverse of monthly temperature, soil CO₂, and cave air CO₂. Therefore, calcite δ¹³C in Xueyu Cave could be used to determine monthly changes outside the cave. However, considering the different precipitation rate of sediment in different seasons, it was difficult to use stalagmites to reconstruct environmental change on a seasonal scale.  相似文献   

贵州七星洞滴水的水文水化学特征及其意义   总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7  

周运超  王世杰 《水文地质工程地质》2006,33(1):52-57

本文对贵州都匀七星洞9个滴水点进行厂为期1年的动态临测，结果显示滴水的物质组成直接源自于洞穴环境，即土壤和岩石。而大气降雨携带的物质成分较少。洞穴滴水的化学组成中元素含量变化主要由水运移过程中水-土、水-岩作用导致的岩石溶解-方解石沉淀过程所控制。QXD-1#、QXD-2#、QXD-6#、QXD-7#、QXD-8#由于水运移过程中经过的土壤较薄。水-岩作用对滴水化学特性的贡献略大。稀释作用发生在干旱条件下的QXD-2#滴水点，活塞作用在雨季对QXD-7#、QXD-9#滴水产生影响，在不同的季节，QXD-1#、QXD-3#、QXD-8#滴水点的滴率产生跳跃式变化。这些作用均受控于水的来源差异。所有这些过程对滴水点水化学产生影响但其效果较弱。滴水的Mg／Ca指示了大气降雨的变化，其值受控于洞穴顶板内水运移过程中水-土、水-岩作用下的水文地球化学过程即岩石的溶解、方解石沉淀过程及土壤物理、化学、生物学过程等。  相似文献   

Stable Carbon Isotope Variations in Cave Percolation Waters and their Implications in Four Caves of Guizhou, China     

LUO Weijun  WANG Shijie  XIE Xingneng  ZHOU Yunchao  LI Tingyu 《《地质学报》英文版》2013,87(5):1396-1411

Monitoring and sampling of main plants,soil CO2,soil water,bedrock,spring water,drip water and its corresponding speleothem were performed at four cave systems of Guizhou,Southwest China,from April 2003 to May 2004,in order to understand stable carbon isotope ratios variations of dissolved inorganic Carbon(DIC) in cave percolation waters(δ13CDIC) and their implications for paleoclimate.Stable carbon isotopic compositions and ions(Ca,Mg,Sr,SO4,Cl etc.) were measured for all samples.The results indicate that there are significant differences among the δ13CDIC values from inter-cave,even inter-drip of intra-cave in the four caves.The δ13CDIC values from the Liangfeng Cave(LFC) is lightest among the four caves,where vegetation type overlying the cave is primary forest dominated by tall trees with lighter average δ13C value(–29.9‰).And there are remarkable differences in δ13CDIC values of different drip waters in the Qixing Cave(QXC) and Jiangjun Cave(JJC),up to 6.9‰ and 7.8‰,respectively.Further analyses show that the δ13CDIC values in cave drip waters are not only controlled by vegetation biomass overlying the cave,but also hydro-geochemical processes.Therefore,accurate interpreting of δ13C recorded in speleothems cannot be guaranteed if these effects of the above mentioned factors are not taken into consideration.  相似文献

通过对贵州荔波凉风洞5个滴水点进行为期1年的动态监测,表明除大气降雨携带的较少物质成份外,凉风洞滴水中的物质主要来源于土壤,同时,示踪结果显示出凉风洞滴水对大气降雨的响应较快,滴水的物质组成直接源自于洞穴环境。洞穴滴水的化学组成中元素含量的变化主要由水运移过程中水-土、水-岩作用导致的方解石溶解-沉淀过程所控制,稀释作用、水来源的差异或者活塞流产生了一定的效果,但其影响较弱,表明凉风洞滴水点的次生沉积物可能记录了环境变化信息。但水在洞穴顶板内运移过程中发生的水文地球化学过程(岩石的溶解、方解石沉淀作用过程)以及洞穴滴水响应大气降雨的时间尺度、水动力过程、水流形式等因素,影响到凉风洞洞穴次生沉积物过去环境记录指标。因此,岩溶次生沉积物过去环境变化指标的解译应该有洞穴滴水水动力地球化学过程的结果作为支撑。这些过程的清晰化可以更好地为研究洞穴环境次生沉积记录的高分辨率、短时间尺度的过去变化提供依据。  相似文献
