硅藻在全球碳循环中发挥着重要的作用。"树荫种"硅藻在次表层水体中的勃发成席,并迅速埋藏成为硅藻席沉积,使人们逐渐意识到次表层生产在整个生产力及输出生产中起着重要作用。介绍了首次在低纬度西太平洋区域发现的硅藻席沉积的分布特征,硅藻席发现站位呈带状分布,大致呈北西-南东向展布,大部分散布在17.5°~20°N之间。采集到硅藻席沉积物的站位其水深在碳酸钙补偿深度(CCD)以下4837~6150m的深水区,多分布在较平坦的海底,且受风力和陆源物质输入影响相对较强的区域。该区域硅藻席的形成可能是由于末次冰期时该海区有大洋锋面的形成所致。该区域的成席硅藻Ethmodiscus rex(Wallich)Hendey为典型的"树荫种"硅藻,可以通过自身调节浮力的作用,在水体相对稳定的贫氧大洋中生存并勃发成席。末次冰期低纬度西太平洋硅藻席沉积的发生,可能使该区成为CO2的汇。  相似文献

通过对末次冰期热带西太平洋硅藻席沉积区WPD-03孔的硅藻鉴定结果进行主成分分析,得出主成分Ⅰ可表示该孔海表盐度的变化,且得分越高,表示盐度越低;主成分Ⅱ可表示该孔海表温度的变化,且得分越高,温度越高。在过渡层段也即MIS3期的晚期,由于盐度相对较低的海水上涌,使海表盐度降低的同时带来大量营养物质,导致非成席硅藻的勃发。继而"低盐帽"的形成促使海水的成层化,诱使成席硅藻勃发,导致"秋季沉降",从而形成硅藻席沉积。亦说明盐度相对较低海水的输入,可能是研究区硅藻席沉积形成的诱因之一。  相似文献

成席硅藻勃发与沉积埋藏过程链接了海洋有机碳生成-输出-埋藏以及大洋深部溶解无机碳的生成与储存的全过程,该过程及其对大洋碳-氮循环的潜在重大影响正引起学术界的关注。通过搜集整理一系列文献及数据,对成席硅藻在细胞层面的特殊功能、勃发机制以及硅藻席沉积物的时空分布特征进行了总结,尝试讨论硅藻席沉积对轨道时间尺度上全球碳-氮循环的潜在影响。由于成席硅藻具有一系列特点,包括在弱光条件下生存、利用大液泡来存储营养盐和调控浮力、与固氮蓝细菌共生、尿素循环等,导致成席硅藻在寡营养的层化水体中或者大洋锋面处容易获得生存竞争优势并发生勃发。根据沉积记录,在第四纪冰期,热带-亚热带大西洋以及热带西太平洋-东印度洋出现大规模的Ethmodiscus rex硅藻席勃发并向海洋内部输出大量有机碳。有机碳中的绝大部分都在水柱中发生降解,只有少部分保存到海底沉积物中。推测硅藻席勃发贡献了冰期深海内部“呼吸碳库”的增长以及大气二氧化碳浓度的降低。由于E. rex勃发加快了海洋上层营养盐的周转速率,因此也可能促进了冰期海洋氮储库的扩张。此外,氧同位素14/12期和4/2期间同时出现大洋无机碳碳同位素重值事件和热带-亚热带...  相似文献

硅藻席沉积是由"树荫种"硅藻大量勃发并快速堆积而成。与成席硅藻同时大量生长的还有其他体型较小的硅藻。通过对WPD03和WPD12孔末次冰期低纬度西太平洋硅藻席沉积样品进行硅藻分析,共鉴定硅藻40属101种(含变种)。硅藻组成中既有淡水种和沿岸种以及外洋冷水种,也有外洋暖水种,但主要以大洋暖水种和广布种为主。在主要的硅藻属种中,Thalassionema frauenfeldii的平均百分含量最高,Thalassionema nitzschioides、Azpeitia nodulifera、Nitzschia marina、Hemidiscus cuneiformis等次之,这5种硅藻占了整个非成席硅藻物种相对百分含量的85%左右,说明在该海域表层水体硅藻席沉积过程中,这5种硅藻最容易与成席硅藻在同时期的环境中生存,形成勃发。初步断定硅藻席形成时期环境为热带水体的大洋性环境。  相似文献

对西太平洋暖池核心区MD01—2386柱状样最上部5m进行了高分辨率的浮游有孔虫Globigerinoides ruber和Pulleniatina obliquiloculata的氧、碳稳定同位素分析,结合AMS^14C测年,研究表明其属于末次盛冰期-全新世的沉积。赤道西太平洋海区末次盛冰期以来δ^18O值显著降低,但有几次回返事件。表层浮游有孔虫G.ruber比次表层温跃层属种P.obliquiloculata对于环境变化的响应要快,但后者变化的幅度较大。这两个种的氧、碳同位素差值反映出温跃层深度自末次盛冰期以来逐渐加深,并存在周期性的回返事件,说明西太平洋暖池晚第四纪冰期旋回存在气候不稳定性。  相似文献

海洋大型硅藻的勃发及其在海底的纹层硅藻席沉积代表大规模的有机碳和生物硅输出通量,该生物堆积事件或过程对海洋酸化和全球变暖产生负反馈,因而在气候变化中的地位不容小觑。本文在融入作者研究成果的基础上总结了国内外关于海洋纹层硅藻席的研究现状,认为大型硅藻勃发不能直接和上涌活动相关联,在热带海区一般与成层化相关,在亚热带海区总体上与锋面作用相关。大型硅藻勃发时,表层水不一定贫养,也可以是富养的,也不总是需要借助浮力下沉到营养跃层吸收营养物,可直接吸收海洋表层中的营养物(如风尘溶解来源的硅酸)。大型硅藻通过高的初级生产力吸收大气中的CO_2,尔后在海洋深部降解形成的CO_2在海洋成层化条件下以巨大"呼吸CO_2库"得以封存,代表促使冰期大气pCO_2降低的一种重要机制。海洋纹层硅藻席的保存环境由多种因素制约,可以是氧化的也可以是亚氧化的,因而对用纹层沉积物来指示缺氧底层水条件应持谨慎态度。另外,提出了解释大型硅藻勃发和硅藻席形成机制的新模式"风尘触发硅藻席沉积",极大地促进了硅藻席沉积成因谜团的解决。最后,指出了目前海洋纹层硅藻席研究中存在的问题并阐述了未来可以开展的研究方向。  相似文献

ZK14孔是位于苏北老黄河三角洲北部地区的1个50m全取心钻孔,对其上部(1.0~22.0m)岩心沉积物的沉积特征分析,结合AMS14 C测年结果,表明末次冰盛期以来该地区主要沉积了硬黏土层和河流沉积(末次冰盛期至全新世早期,22.00~16.63m)、潮坪—浅海—老黄河三角洲沉积(全新世早期至公元1855年,16.63~1.00m),沉积物主要以黏土质粉砂和粉砂为主,夹少量细砂薄层。沉积物粒度频率曲线在16.63m以上为单峰-双峰分布交替出现,而在16.63m以下则出现三峰分布,向下过渡为双峰和单峰分布。沉积物粒度参数(分选系数、偏态和峰度)变化频繁,表明了物源(河流和海域来源)和沉积动力环境(径流、潮汐及波浪作用)的复杂性。ZK14孔末次冰盛期以来沉积序列的形成,受到海平面与物源变化以及沉积动力条件的共同影响。  相似文献

西菲律宾海15万年以来的浊流沉积及其成因   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
MD06-3052孔取自西菲律宾海吕宋岛岸外上陆坡,通过AMS14 C测年、沉积物粒度和浮游有孔虫氧同位素记录,揭示了15万年以来5个浊流沉积层的特征和浊积事件的发生时间。浊流沉积物粒度明显较上下层的粗,主要组分为砂质和粉砂质沉积。通过AMS14 C测年和氧同位素年代标尺,计算了5个浊流沉积层发生的时间分别为13.3、20.4、34.3、41.7和121.8kaBP,其中上部4次浊积事件发生于末次冰期,特别是MIS 3晚期和MIS 2期的低海平面时期,仅底部一次出现于末次间冰期MIS 5e中期相对低海平面时期,因而推测研究区浊流沉积事件的主要诱因是低海平面时期的海平面波动造成临近陆架上的沉积物不稳定,同时较陡的陆坡为浊流沉积提供了有利地形,因而造成了向陆坡方向的浊流搬运。  相似文献

A deep-sea sediment core (GC98-06) from the southernmost Drake Passage, West Antarctica, shows late Quaternary depositional environments distinctly different from sedimentary drifts commonly found along the southwestern Pacific margin of the Drake Passage. The chronology of the core has been inferred using geochemical tracers of paleoproductivity and diatom biostratigraphy, and represents the paleoceanographic conditions in a continental rise setting during the last 150,000 years. Three dominant sediment types associated with distinct sedimentary processes have been identified using textural/compositional analyses: (1) hemipelagic mud (interglacial sediments) deposited from pelagic settling of bioclasts, meltwater plumes, and ice-rafted detritus; (2) terrigenous mud (glacial sediments) delivered by turbid meltwater plumes; and (3) massive muds marking the boundaries from interglacial to glacial periods. The succession of the sedimentary facies in core GC98-06 is interpreted to reflect temporal changes in environmental conditions prevailing on the continental rise of the southern Drake Passage in the course of successive climatic stages over the last 150 ka: from the bottom upward, these are glacial, interglacial, glaciation, glacial, and interglacial episodes. Variability in sediment flux and diatom abundance seem to have been related to changes in glacial advance, sea-ice extent, and specific sedimentary environments, collectively influenced by mid- to late Quaternary climatic changes.  相似文献

西菲律宾海作为西太平洋暖池的一部分,重建其在地质历史时期的热力学变化、陆源输入变化,对于理解西太平洋暖池在全球地质时间尺度上的作用具有重要意义。利用古菌与细菌的细胞膜质甘油二烷基甘油四醚(glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers,GDGTs)对西菲律宾海XT-47孔沉积物的陆源输入及其上方水体温度的变化进行重建,发现该沉积柱顶部(0~260 cm,约16.6~18.8 ka)BIT指标为0.01~0.2,TEX^H 86重建的上层海水平均温度为22.5℃,而底部(260~632 cm,约18.8~4000 ka)TEX^H 86重建得到的上层海水温度绝对值波动剧烈(0.6~26℃),在此范围内BIT>0.3,并呈现逐渐增加的趋势,超过BIT界定的陆源输入对TEX^H 86重建古温度有效性的阈值,这导致了该深度范围内TEX^H 86重建古温度变化的严重偏差。以260和470 cm为界,该沉积柱的沉积相出现明显变化,上层为大量纹层硅藻席沉积,中层为远洋黏土和硅藻泥互层,下层为远洋黏土沉积;同时,支链GDGTs(branched GDGTs,br GDGTs)的组成也出现明显差异,说明其来源可能有所不同。基于以上分析,提出260 cm以浅,brGDGTs可能主要为海相原位自生为主;而260 cm深度以下,主要以风尘输送的陆源brGDGTs为主。该结果显示陆源输入的变化可以间接反映东亚冬季风的强弱,本研究为高低纬之间的海陆相互作用研究提供了新的视角。  相似文献

The B/Ca ratio of planktonic foraminifer shells has been used as a proxy for reconstructing past ocean carbonate chemistry. However, recent studies have revealed significant uncertainties associated with this proxy, such as whether seawater temperature or [ CO_3~(2-)] is the dominant control on the partition coefficient(K_D) of planktonic foraminiferal B/Ca. To address these uncertainties and thus improve our understanding of the planktonic foraminiferal B/Ca proxy, we analysed B/Ca ratios in the tests of Neogloboquadrina dutertrei(300–355 μm) and Pulleniatina obliquiloculata(355–400 μm) in surface sediment samples from the tropical western Pacific and South China Sea. The relationship between these B/Ca ratios and bottom water calcite saturation states(Δ[ CO_3~(2-)]) is weak, thus suggesting only a small dissolution effect on the B/Ca of the two species. The correlation coefficients(R~2) between the B/Ca ratios of N. dutertrei and P. obliquiloculata and environmental parameters(e.g., temperature, salinity, phosphate, DIC and ALK) in the tropical western Pacific and South China Sea are not high enough to justify using B/Ca ratios as a palaeoenvironmental proxy in the study areas. The significant correlation between K_D values of N. dutertrei and P. obliquiloculata and carbonate system parameters(e.g.,[ CO_3~(2-)], DIC, ALK, pH and [ HCO_3~-]) in the study area reflect chemical links between the K_D denominator and these variables. Based on our surface sediment calibration, an empirical relationship between the K_D of N.dutertrei and temperature is proposed in the tropical western Pacific. We also generated a record of B/Ca ratios in N. dutertrei(300–355 μm) from Core MD06-3052 in the tropical western Pacific over the past 24 ka to evaluate the application of the revised B/Ca proxy method. Based on the reconstructed empirical relationship for B/Ca and subsurface seawater ALK, we estimated subsurface seawater carbonate system parameters in the tropical western Pacific since 24 ka. In general, the estimated subsurface seawater pH and [ CO_3~(2-)] show an increase with time, and the record of subsurface seawater pCO_2 shows a decrease with time, in the tropical western Pacific over the past 24 ka. The consistent trends in subsurface seawater pCO_2 and opal flux during deglaciation may imply that the reported increase in subsurface water pCO_2 in the study area was promoted by enhanced upwelling in the Southern Ocean.  相似文献

We characterized the community composition of phytoplankton in the western subarctic Pacific from the pre-bloom to the decline phase of the spring bloom with special reference to decreases in the silicic acid concentration in surface waters as an index for diatom bloom development. Furthermore, responses of heterotrophic bacteria and viruses to the spring bloom were also concomitantly investigated. Under pre-bloom conditions when nutrients were abundant but the surface mixed layer depth was relatively deep, chlorophyll (Chl) a concentrations were consistently low and green algae (chlorophytes and prasinophytes), cryptophytes, and diatoms were predominant in the phytoplankton assemblages as estimated by algal pigment signatures. Together with the shallowing of the mixed layer depth and the decrease in silicic acid concentration, diatoms bloomed remarkably in the Oyashio region, though the magnitude of the bloom in the Kuroshio-Oyashio transition (hereafter Transition) region was relatively small. A total of 77 diatom species were identified, with the bloom-forming diatoms mainly consisting of Thalassiosira, Chaetoceros, and Fragilariopsis species. It has become evident that the carotenoid fucoxanthin can serve as a strong indicator of the diatom carbon biomass during the spring diatom bloom. Differences in the species richness of diatoms among stations generally enabled us to separate the Oyashio bloom stations from the Transition and the Oyashio pre-bloom stations. Relatively high values of the Shannon-Wiener index for the diatom species were also maintained during the Oyashio bloom, indicating that a wide variety of species then shared dominance. In the decline phase of the Oyashio bloom when surface nutrient concentrations decreased, senescent diatom cells increased, as inferred from the levels of chlorophyllide a. Although the cell density of heterotrophic bacteria changed little with the development of the diatom bloom, viral abundance increased toward the end of the bloom, suggesting an increased likelihood of mortality among organisms including diatoms resulting from viral infection. This is the first report on the microbial trophodynamics, including viruses, during the spring diatom bloom in the western subarctic Pacific.  相似文献

为了更好地认识西太平洋暖池区北部卡罗琳海域沉积速率的变化,利用放射性碳测试(14C)、氧同位素及古地磁方法对采自西太平洋卡罗琳地区一根长217 cm的柱状样开展了综合年代学分析。14C数据获取了样品上部44.3 ka BP以来的年代数据,在此基础上利用氧同位素及古地磁相对强度数据建立了该柱125 cm至表层的年代框架,对应为MIS4期(约8万年)以来的沉积。进一步分析发现本柱在126~127 cm处存在明显沉积间断,虽然该处已超出14C测年范围,但古地磁测试结果表明该柱位于布容正极性时期,同时古地磁强度与氧同位素的变化关系为沉积间断以下年代数据获取提供了可信的证据,表明该阶段对应距今13万年至18万年时期。本柱沉积速率在沉积间断前后均较为一致,为1~2 cm/ka。同时对比不同方法获取的沉积速率之间差异后,发现个别层位可能由于较高的有孔虫破壳率,导致14C值存在较大偏差。  相似文献

Two processes are generally explained as causes of temporal changes in the stoichiometric silicon/nitrogen (Si/N) ratios of sinking particles and of nutrient consumption in the surface water during the spring diatom bloom: (1) physiological changes of diatom under the stress of photosynthesis of diatom and (2) differences of regeneration between silicon and nitrogen. We investigated which process plays an important role in these changes using a one-dimensional ecosystem model that explicitly represents diatom and the other non-silicious phytoplankton. The model was applied to station A7 (41°30′ N, 145°30′ E) in the western North Pacific, where diatom regularly blooms in spring. Model simulations show that the Si/N ratios of the flux exported by the sinking particles at 100 m depth and of nutrient consumptions in the upper 100 m surface water have their maxima at the end of the spring diatom bloom, the values and timings of which are significantly different from each other. Analyses of the model results show that the differences of regeneration between silicon and nitrogen mainly cause the temporal changes of the Si/N ratios. On the other hand, the physiological changes of diatoms under stress can hardly cause these temporal changes, because the effect of the change in the diatom's uptake ratio of silicon to nitrogen is cancelled by that in its sinking rate.  相似文献

A one-dimensional ecosystem model has been used to investigate the processes relevant to the spring diatom bloom which play important roles in the biogeochemical cycle in the western subarctic Pacific. The model represents the plankton dynamics and the nutrient cycles in the spring diatom bloom; its results show the importance of dilution by deep mixing in winter. It is supposed that the vertically integrated biomass of phytoplankton decreases in the winter due to the decrease of photosynthesis, because the deep mixing transports phytoplankton to a layer with a low light level. However, the observed integrated diatom biomass increases as the mixed layer deepens. This is because the decrease of concentration due to dilution by mixing causes the diatom grazed pressure to be less significant than diatom photosynthesis. In other words, the effect of dilution on the grazed rate is more significant than the effect on the photosynthesis rate because the grazed rate depends on the concentrations of both diatom and grazer, whereas the photosynthesis rate depends only diatom concentration. The average specific diatom grazed rate, defined as grazed rate divided by diatom biomass, decreases by 35% associated with the deepening, while the average specific photosynthesis rate of diatom decreases by 11%. As a result, the average specific net diatom growth rate during the deep mixing is about 70% of its maximum during the spring diatom bloom. The deep mixing significantly affects the amplitude of the spring diatom bloom not only by the supply of nutrients but also by the dilution which drastically decreases the grazed pressure. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献
