基于中国北方典型草原区30个样点现代孢粉分析和植被调查,研究估算了常见花粉类型的相对花粉产量,并将估算结果应用于全新世以来的古植被定量重建．典型草原区现代花粉组合以蒿属、藜科、禾本科、莎草科和菊科等草本植物花粉为主,与草原区植物群落较一致．中国北方典型草原区上述五种主要花粉类型和常见花粉类型（唐松草属、鸢尾科、委陵菜属、麻黄属、十字花科和榆属）的风力传播能力强,相对花粉源1000m左右（以表土样品取样范围为沉积盆地半径,0．5m）,且基本不受风速影响．榆属、蒿属、十字花科和藜科植物花粉产量最高,唐松草属植物花粉产量较高,而菊科和鸢尾科植物花粉产量较低,禾本科、莎草科、委陵菜属和麻黄属植物花粉产量适中．相对花粉产量检验表明：多数花粉类型相对花粉产量结果可信;但菊科和鸢尾科相对花粉产量被显著低估,禾本科、藜科、麻黄属相对花粉产量被高估或低估,利用相对花粉产量定量重建古植被时应谨慎．依据花粉产量定量重建的植被演替表明,现在的中国北方典型草原区6500—5600cal．aBP之前为以禾本科、莎草科和蒿属植物为主的草甸草原,之后逐渐演变为现在的典型草原． 相似文献

花粉现代过程研究是基于化石花粉谱重建古植被和古气候变化的基础.尽管青藏高原已经有大量花粉现代过程研究,但是仅有少数关于湖泊表层沉积物现代花粉组合的报道.本研究分析了青藏高原草原带和荒漠带34个湖泊的表层沉积物花粉组合,结果显示,这两个高原植被带的现代花粉组合以草本、灌木花粉占优势,不过特征类群的相对丰度具有显著差别.高原荒漠带的现代花粉组合有高含量的藜科Chenopodiaceae花粉,而草原带以莎草科Cyperaceae占明显优势.花粉比值能够清楚地指示青藏高原草原带和荒漠带植被和气候的差异.蒿属/藜科比值(Artemisia/Chenopodiaceae)和乔木/非乔木花粉比值(arboreal/non-arboreal)可指示冬季降水量的变化,蒿属/莎草科比值(Artemisia/Cyperaceae)以及喜旱类群总相对丰度升高指示气候变暖、变干.按湖泊周围的植被盖度对研究点进行聚类分析,发现研究样点可以分为草甸、草原、荒漠草原、荒漠等4个植被组.利用随机森林算法建立花粉-植被重建模型,结果显示,随机森林模型可以准确地鉴别青藏高原的草原带和荒漠带;当研究样点植被类型按聚类分析结果分为4种时,随机森林模型准确性略降低,但仍有较可靠的预测能力.今后将更多的湖泊表层沉积物花粉组合数据作为随机森林算法的训练集时,建立的花粉-植被模型极有潜力在青藏高原古植被重建中得到广泛运用. 相似文献

通过孢粉分析,对陕西红碱淖地区近百年来的环境演化进行了探讨,对比钻孔岩性特征、历史记载和器测资料,验证了孢粉记录在短尺度的高分辨率环境变化研究中的有效性.研究表明,1927年以前,红碱淖地区气候非常干旱,不具备成湖条件,植被类型为典型荒漠;1927-1938年,干旱程度有所缓和,湖盆洼地开始积水成湖,植被类型为小灌木荒漠草原植被;1938-1960年,气候相对好转,环境开始变湿,红碱淖在此相对较好的气候条件下,积蓄了一定的水量,形成比第二阶段更深些的湖泊,植被类型为灌丛草原;1960年前后环境有较大的变化,孢粉图谱很好地反映了1960年前后人类活动与降水增加叠加后对环境及湖泊的影响.在1960-2000年期间,气候比前几阶段有明显改善,环境湿润,湖泊面积在1960年前后迅速扩大后维持较高湖面.植被为典型草原植被;近几年来,湖区环境又开始相对转干,植被发育为以藜科为主的草原植被. 相似文献

华北平原末次冰盛期以来典型时段古环境格局 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
重建典型时段区域气候和植被空间格局变化,是评估未来增温背景下生态环境变化和响应过程的重要基础.文章基于AMS ~(14)C定年技术和孢粉分析,获得了华北平原白洋淀等6个剖面末次冰盛期以来的气候-植被变化历史.结合区内已有孢粉记录,重建了华北平原末次冰盛期和全新世暖期的古环境格局.结果显示,华北平原区域植被变化受气候条件、地貌景观和人类活动等因素共同影响:末次冰盛期,华北平原气候寒冷干旱,南部山地发育针阔混交林和落叶-常绿阔叶林,北部山地生长耐寒针叶林-针阔混交林,森林面积相对较小;平原南部生长中生或湿生草甸,北部发育温带草原-荒漠草原;滨海区陆架大面积出露,生长藜科为主的盐生植物.全新世暖期,华北平原气候温暖湿润,南部山地发育落叶阔叶林或落叶-常绿阔叶混交林,伴生有喜暖亚热带属种,北部山地生长落叶阔叶林,部分喜暖湿植物常有出现,森林面积相对增加;平原腹地草本植物仍占优势,森林面积较小且难以形成地带性森林景观;受海平面上升影响,滨海区原有盐生植被向内陆收缩;此外,这一时期华北平原人类活动范围扩大、农业生产频繁,对区内自然植被产生了一定影响.文章为中国北方古气候数值模拟、区域碳循环评估和未来增温背景下区域生态环境变化预测等提供了基础数据和科学依据. 相似文献

晚第四纪中亚高山湖泊的演化 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
中亚晚第四纪商山湖泊的演化受到复杂的气候波动釤响，主要由水汽的变化、湖盆冰川作用和径流与 流址的变化而引起的。冷干条件伴随右融水补给的减少和湖退；暖湿条件引起了冰川的后退，增加了融水补给，引起湖进。分布于不同海抜高度的天山和帕米尔竑原地区的湖泊，普遍处于较干旱的环境中，通过对湖盆地貌学、冰川和湖泊沉积物的分布和成份的研究、以及对湖泊沉积物的孢粉分析和埋藏植物碎屑的l4C年代测定，可以里违晚贝新世以来益山湖泊的演化阶段和中亚高山区的古地理环堍。22000-17000a B.P.，天山查特尔库尔湖和帕米尔喀拉湖为外流淡水湖，面积超过目前的2-3倍。湖泊沉积物中孢粉以干草原植被为主，反映气候较暖湿。16000-11000a B.P.，冻川活动达到极盛，气候寒冷、干燥，湖泊干涸、消失。孢粉频率低，以旱生植物花粉为主。10000-8000a B.P.，温度、湿度提中湿植物和蒿属相对藜科增加，开始湖进。查特尔库尔湖水位较今高12m，面积超过现今3倍；8000—4000a B.P.，天山和东帕米尔的湖盆气侯相对暖湿。4000—3500a B.P.，气候变干，旱生植物花粉增加。3000a B.P.以来以气候干旱化为特征，植被以高山干草原和草原-荒漠为主。1500a B.P.以来气候更趋干早，干旱植物花粉增加，湖水位下降，一直持续至今。据历史和考古资料，公元14-16世纪天山气候暖干化，发生湖退；17—18世纪天山和帕米尔湿度增加，出现湖进。目前该地区湖水位普遍处于下降时期，仅若干冰融水补给湖泊有湖进的迹象。 相似文献

吉兰泰盐湖沉积物孢粉记录的季风边缘区全新世气候演化 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1
全新世气候具有不稳定性,且存在着区域差异,在季风边缘区尤为显著.因此,本研究选取季风边缘区吉兰泰盐湖沉积物的孢粉记录并结合AMS14C测年结果,对该地区全新世的古植被演化及古气候变化历史进行了重建.结果表明,在全新世阶段,该地区植被类型未发生变化,以干旱的荒漠植被为主.早全新世(10.5 8.5 cal ka BP),以蒿属孢粉为主,伴随出现少量藜科、禾本科及麻黄属孢粉,蒿藜比(A/C比值)相对稳定(4.11左右),指示全新世早期气候逐步转湿的过程,在8.5 cal ka BP,蒿属孢粉数量下降且被藜科孢粉取代,指示一次明显气候干旱事件;中全新世(8.5 3.5 cal ka BP),蒿属孢粉含量增加及藜科孢粉含量降低,A/C比值在7.1 cal ka BP左右达到峰值,指示该地区中全新世气候最为湿润;晚全新世(3.5 cal ka BP至今),藜科孢粉含量增加且超过早全新世,A/C比值低至3.66,区域呈现明显的干旱化趋势.此外,结合吉兰泰盐湖沉积物矿物组成结果,发现中全新世湖泊沉积物中,钙芒硝大量出现,一定程度上指示降水量增多所带来的淡水注入,与孢粉指标指示该阶段湿润的结果一致.通过区域对比,发现吉兰泰地区在全新世时期的气候演化模式与东亚季风区具有较好的一致性,表明该地区受到东亚夏季风的影响较大,尤其是在中全新世,东亚夏季风增强,带来较多的降水,气候湿润. 相似文献

The Relative Pollen Productivities(RPPs)of common steppe species are estimated using Extended R-value(ERV)model based on pollen analysis and vegetation survey of 30 surface soil samples from typical steppe area of northern China.Artemisia,Chenopodiaceae,Poaceae,Cyperaceae,and Asteraceae are the dominant pollen types in pollen assemblages,reflecting the typical steppe communities well.The five dominant pollen types and six common types(Thalictrum,Iridaceae,Potentilla,Ephedra,Brassicaceae,and Ulmus)have strong wind transport abilities;the estimated Relevant Source Area of Pollen(RSAP)is ca.1000 m when the sediment basin radius is set at 0.5 m.Ulmus,Artemisia,Brassicaceae,Chenopodiaceae,and Thalictrum have relative high RPPs;Poaceae,Cyperaceae,Potentilla,and Ephedra pollen have moderate RPPs;Asteraceae and Iridaceae have low RPPs.The reliability test of RPPs revealed that most of the RPPs are reliable in past vegetation reconstruction.However,the RPPs of Asteraceae and Iridaceae are obviously underestimated,and those of Poaceae,Chenopodiaceae,and Ephedra are either slightly underestimated or slightly overestimated,suggesting that those RPPs should be considered with caution.These RPPs were applied to estimating plant abundances for two fossil pollen spectra(from the Lake Bayanchagan and Lake Haoluku)covering the Holocene in typical steppe area,using the"Regional Estimates of Vegetation Abundance from Large Sites"(REVEALS)model.The RPPs-based vegetation reconstruction revealed that meadow-steppe dominated by Poaceae,Cyperaceae,and Artemisia plants flourished in this area before 6500–5600 cal yr BP,and then was replaced by present typical steppe. 相似文献

The modern pollen assemblages of surface lake sediments and topsoils in northwestern China were studied to understand the relationship of modern pollen data with contemporary vegetation and climate, and the differences between the pollen assemblages of surface lake sediments and topsoils. The results show that Chenopodiaceae and Artemisia are dominant elements in the pollen assemblages of northwestern China. Additionally, Ephedra, Cyperaceae, Asteraceae, Poaceae, Picea, Pinus, and Betula are also important pollen taxa. Both pollen assemblages and principal component analysis indicate that pollen data from surface lake sediments and topsoils can be used to differentiate the main vegetation types of this region(desert, steppe, meadow and forest). However, differences exist between modern pollen assemblages of the two types of sediments due to the different relevant source areas of pollen and degrees of pollen preservation. For example, the larger relevant source area of surface lake sediment results in a higher abundance of Betula in pollen assemblage from surface lake sediment, whereas the tendency to disintegrate thin-walled pollen types in topsoil leads to a higher proportion of resistant pollen, such as Asteraceae. Linear regression analysis indicates that the Artemisia/Chenopodiaceae(A/C) ratio in pollen assemblages of surface lake sediments can be used to indicate humidity changes in the study area. However, the A/C ratio in topsoils should be used carefully. Our results suggest that pollen data from surface lake sediments would be better references for interpreting the fossil pollen assemblages of lake cores or lacustrine profiles. 相似文献

Longitudinal dunes are the most widespread dune types in the world sand seas but comprehensive study on the sand surface stability
is scarce. The southern part of Gürbantünggüt Desert is mainly covered by longitudinal dune in which fixed and semi-fixed
dunes occupy over 80% of the total area. Systematic analysis on the climatic conditions, the soil moisture and vegetation
distributions, and the sand surface activities showed that the fixed and semi-fixed dunes are in a comprehensive low-energy
wind environment. Snow cover and frozen soil provide a good protection to the ground surface in winter. The temporal distribution
of precipitation and corresponding variation of temperature create a favorable condition for the desert plants growth, especially
for the ephemeral plants. The occurrence of effective winds for sand moving in April to June coincides with the stage of relatively
wet sand surface and good vegetation cover, which effectively keep the sand surface stable at the interdune and the plinth
of the dunes. Activity sand surface appears only at the crest and the upper part of the sand dunes. 相似文献

Northeast China is an essential area for studying the strength of East Asian Summer Monsoon(EASM), due to its northernmost location in EASM domain. However, the lack of sufficient modern pollen data in this region hinders an effective interpretation of fossil pollen records and quantitative vegetation/climate reconstructions. Here, 44 surface pollen samples from forest, steppe, and meadow were used to explore pollen-vegetation-climate relationships. Cluster analysis, species indicator analysis, and principal components analysis, were used to identify the discontinuous and continuous trends in pollen dataset. In addition, correlation analysis and boosted regression trees were used to investigate primary explanatory variables, while coinertia analysis and redundancy analysis to examine pollen-vegetation and pollen-climate correlations respectively. Our results show that:(1) vegetation can be well represented by surface pollen assemblages, i.e. forest is characterized by a high proportion of tree pollen(70%) dominated by Betula(40%) along with Alnus, Larix, and Pinus, whereas Steppe by herb pollen(80%),dominated by Artemisia, Chenopodiaceae;(2) significant correlations exist between pollen assemblages and mean annual temperature and then mean annual precipitation;(3) pollen ratios of Artemisia/Chenopodiaceae and arboreal/non-arboreal can respectively be used as good indicators of humidity and temperature in Northeast China. 相似文献

升金湖是长江中下游地区典型的浅水通江湖泊,是东亚-澳大利西亚候鸟迁徙路线上水鸟重要的越冬地. 2017年11月-2018年3月,以该湖泊越冬鸭属(Anas)鸟类为研究对象,对其在芦苇湿地、芡实塘、退耕还湿和水生植被恢复湿地4种湿地生境中的群落结构、行为特征及其环境影响因素进行了研究. 结果表明,升金湖分布有10种越冬鸭属鸟类,斑嘴鸭(Anas poecilorhyncha)、绿翅鸭(A. crecca)和绿头鸭(A. platyrhynchos)为该属鸟类群落的优势种. 鸭属鸟类群落在越冬前期种类和数量最多,在整个越冬期,鸭属鸟类在芦苇湿地中种数、数量、密度和多样性指数最高. 在水生植物盖度高、人为活动弱的芦苇湿地,鸭类的主要行为是休息;在食物资源丰富、人为活动强的芡实塘和退耕还湿湿地,其主要行为是觅食和警戒. 鸭属鸟类群落种数、数量、密度和多样性指数与湿地的面积、水域面积、水生植物盖度呈正相关,与干扰度和水深呈负相关. 觅食时间与气温和沉水植物的盖度呈正相关,与水深和干扰度呈负相关,警戒时间与干扰度呈正相关,与挺水植物的盖度呈负相关. 各种恢复类型的湿地生境成为越冬鸭属鸟类的重要栖息地,因此恢复多种湿地栖息地对于越冬水鸟的保护具有重要意义. 相似文献

The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal status of the 20 most common plant species distributed in 4 vegetation types (meadow steppe, desert steppe, steppe desert and typical desert) on the northern slopes of the Tianshan Mountains was investigated. Samples of the plant species and their rhizosphere soils were collected from the 4 vegetation zones and examined to compare their mycorrhizal status, AM fungal spore densities, biovolumes, and community structures. 28 AM fungal species were isolated from the rhizosphere soils: of these, 5 belonged to Acaulospora, 1 to Archaeospora and 22 to Glomus. 5 AM fungi, Glomus aggregatum, G. claroideum, G. deserticola, G. etunicatum and G. sinuosum, were observed in all 4 zonal types. No significant differences were observed in mean proportion of root length colonized by AM fungi among the plant species within each zonal type. Comparing the 4 zonal types, Plantago minuta (84.5%) in steppe desert and Eremopyrum orientale (83.1%) in typical desert showed the highest root colonizatsion rates. AM fungal spore densities and biovolumes were significantly different in the different zonal types. AM fungal spore densities and biovolumes, species richness and diversity were highest in meadow steppe and lowest in typical desert. 相似文献

Humid Little Ice Age in arid central Asia documented by Bosten Lake, Xinjiang, China 总被引：15，自引：0，他引：15
J. A. Holmes 《中国科学D辑(英文版)》2006,49(12):1280-1290
Short sediment cores retrieved from Bosten Lake, the largest inland freshwater lake in China, were used to explore humidity and precipitation variations in arid central Asia during the past millennium. The chronology of the cores was established using 137Cs, 210Pb and AMS 14C dating re- sults. Multi-proxy high-resolution analysis, including pollen ratios of Artemisia and Chenopodiaceae (A/C), carbonate content and grain size, indicates that the climate during the past millennium can be divided into three stages: a dry climate between 1000―1500 AD, a humid climate during the Little Ice Age (LIA) (c. 1500―1900 AD), and a warm dry period after 1900 AD. On centennial timescales, the climate change in northwestern China during the past 1000 years is characterized by oscillations between warm-dry and cold-humid climate conditions. All the proxies changed significantly and indi- cate increased precipitation during the LIA, including increased pollen A/C ratios and pollen concen- trations, decreased carbonate content and increased grain size. The humid period during the LIA re- corded by the Bosten Lake sediments is representative of arid central Asia and is supported by nu- merous records from other sites. During the LIA, the water runoff into the Keriya River and Tarim River in the Tarim Basin increased, while the ice accumulation in the Guliya ice core increased. Additionally, the lake levels of the Aral and Caspian Sea also rose, while tree-ring analysis indicates that precipita- tion increased. We hypothesize that both the lower temperature within China and the negative anomalies of North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) during this period may have contributed to the humid climate within this area during LIA. 相似文献
