底栖有孔虫碳同位素负偏移是地质记录中天然气水合物释放的重要证据之一.对南海北部西沙海槽和东沙陆坡等天然气水合物远景区XH-27PC和DS-4PC柱状样分别进行顶空气甲烷含量分析、有机碳含量分析、粒度分析和有孔虫氧碳同位素分析.结合碳酸盐含量及AMS 14C测年,揭示研究区末次冰期以来底栖有孔虫的稳定同位素特征.结果显示:西沙海槽BSR区沉积物中甲烷含量较低;底栖有孔虫碳同位素负偏不明显,与顶空气甲烷含量呈弱正相关(R=0.32),与有机碳含量有强负相关(R=-0.82),说明低通量甲烷不足以引起底栖有孔虫碳同位素显著偏移,在无甲烷或甲烷轻微渗漏的环境中有机碳的厌氧氧化是影响底栖有孔虫碳同位素组成的主要因素.东沙陆坡BSR区沉积物中含有大量的甲烷气体;底栖有孔虫氧同位素记录在末次冰期异常偏重,可能与天然气水合物的分解释放有关;同时可识别出多期碳同位素快速负偏事件,其成因很可能是末次冰期海平面下降导致海底沉积物的温度、压力条件发生变化,从而引发水合物甲烷失稳分解,底栖有孔虫吸收富12C的甲烷源碳致使壳体碳同位素负偏移. 相似文献

为了探索海洋天然气水合物背景下有孔虫特征的响应,对综合大洋钻探计划(IODP)311航次岩芯沉积物中底栖有孔虫Uvigerina peregrina和Bulimina mexicana进行了初步研究。通过对冷泉站位U1328和毗邻的非冷泉站位U1327沉积物中底栖有孔虫Uvigerina peregrina和Buliminamexicana的显微形貌特征和碳、氧稳定同位素测试等,证实有孔虫壳体未受到后期成岩作用的改造和自生碳酸盐岩的交代影响,有孔虫壳体的碳稳定同位素呈现明显的负偏。其中U1327站位中U.peregrinaδ13C为-0.67‰~-2.75‰(PDB),B.mexicanaδ13C为-0.51‰~-1.52‰(PDB);U1328站位中U.peregrinaδ13C为-0.72‰~-2.71‰(PDB),B.mexicanaδ13C为-0.58‰~-1.45‰(PDB)。底栖有孔虫壳体的碳稳定同位素负偏成因可能与水合物不稳定分解释放的甲烷厌氧氧化作用和食物源有关,因而可较好地指示海底天然气水合物系统地质背景。 相似文献

本文对南海北部陆坡SH7B孔底栖有孔虫群落结构组成及壳体氧碳同位素值变化特征进行研究,旨在了解该区晚中新世以来的中层水体演化历史。利用因子和聚类分析对该钻孔128个样品中的35个底栖有孔虫优势属种的相对百分含量数据进行统计分析,识别出4个组合:Globocassidulina subglobosa-Stilostomella spp.（Gs-St）,Chilostomella mediterranensis-Globobulimina spp. (Cm-Gl),Hoglundina elegans-Pyrgo spp. (He-Py),Melonis affinis-Pyrgo spp. (Ma-Py)。晚中新世晚期至上新世早期（5.8~2.8 Ma）相对高海平面温暖期,SH7B孔底栖有孔虫为相对稳定的Gs-St组合,反映了低到中等营养物质供给的低氧水体环境。其中5.8~3.79 Ma底栖有孔虫壳体碳同位素偏负和强烈的碳酸盐溶解现象在全球其他海区均有发现,指示当时南海北部陆坡底层水体低氧环境可能受到因全球大洋环流格局变化影响的太平洋偏腐蚀性的缺氧中层水体影响。3.79~2.8 Ma底栖有孔虫丰度和喜氧类表生种含量逐渐增加,指示水体流通性趋于增强,水体氧含量稍有增加。晚上新世2.4 Ma以来,底栖有孔虫组合与氧碳同位素值波动变化频繁,反映了中等到高表层输出生产力的富氧到缺氧中层水体环境,南海北部陆坡底栖有孔虫的分布主要受陆源有机质输入量的多寡和南海中深层水体的循环状况共同控制。 相似文献

为探寻晚第四纪以来水合物分解事件在南海北部甲烷渗漏环境下有孔虫中的记录,对南海北部陆坡2个区块的沉积柱状样有孔虫碳氧同位素组成和测年分析发现,底栖有孔虫Uvigerina spp.碳同位素值为-2.12‰～-0.21‰,浮游有孔虫Globigerinoides ruber.氧同位素值为-3.11‰～-0.60‰,ZD3、ZS5 2个柱状样孔底年龄分别为26 616、64 090 a,对应了氧同位素Ⅲ、Ⅳ期末期,有孔虫碳同位素负偏的层位与氧同位素Ⅱ、Ⅳ期(冷期)层位相对应,负偏程度达到了-2‰,与布莱克海台和墨西哥湾等地区晚第四纪沉积层中有孔虫碳氧同位素组成相似。分析认为:研究区是典型的甲烷渗漏环境,该区在氧同位素Ⅱ、Ⅳ期,由于全球海平面下降,导致海底压力减小,天然气水合物分解释放,具轻碳同位素的大量甲烷释放进入海底溶解无机碳(DIC)池并记录在有孔虫壳体内,造成有孔虫碳同位素负偏;同时在有孔虫负偏层位黄铁矿和自生碳酸盐较发育,进一步证实了有孔虫碳同位素受甲烷影响较大,而海洋生产力的降低和早期成岩作用对有孔虫碳同位素负偏的影响较小。 相似文献

全球变暖和人为活动不断加剧海洋低氧环境发生的频率和范围,低氧对全球海洋底栖生物群落结构造成重大影响。底栖有孔虫能够广泛适应生存在各种海洋低氧环境中,是极少数能适应低氧环境的真核生物之一,底栖有孔虫对低氧环境的响应及适应机制研究是海洋研究领域的前沿和热点话题,至今仍存在很多谜团。本文总结了不同海洋低氧环境活体底栖有孔虫分布特征、活体底栖有孔虫对人为诱导低氧环境的响应、低氧环境下底栖有孔虫外壳化学组成特征、低氧环境下底栖有孔虫的生存机理,期望为后续推进海洋低氧环境下底栖有孔虫相关研究进一步开展提供参考和借鉴。底栖有孔虫作为古海洋环境重建的重要工具,对我们了解全球海洋低氧环境的历史演化进程具有非常重要的意义。展望未来我们需要进一步加强有孔虫细胞生理学和分子生物学对低氧环境的适应机制研究,从系统发生学上认识真核生物对低氧环境适应的历史演化进程,为利用有孔虫作为工具更好地重建和预测海洋低氧环境变化提供理论依据。 相似文献

基于AMS 14C年龄和底栖有孔虫氧同位素建立的地层年代框架,重点探讨了冲绳海槽中北部CSHC-15孔MIS6期以来(约200 ka)底栖有孔虫δ13C特征及其古海洋指示意义。结果显示,冰期-间冰期表层初级生产力和有机质通量的变化是导致底栖有孔虫δ13C值在MIS4和MIS6期负偏而在MIS1、MIS3和MIS5期正偏的主要原因。MIS2期的底栖有孔虫δ13C正偏,指示了NPIW侵入冲绳海槽,导致通风性加强,底层水呈弱氧化状态。甲烷渗漏引发的甲烷厌氧氧化作用(AOM)是导致CSHC-15孔底栖有孔虫在MIS4期碳同位素大幅负偏的原因。 相似文献

为探讨冷泉区底栖有孔虫组合特征、受控因素及其冷泉微生境随时间的变迁,本文对台西南海盆取自九龙甲烷礁和海洋四号区冷泉区的973-4和973-5两根岩心展开了底栖有孔虫及其壳体氧碳同位素研究。测年结果揭示两根岩心为晚更新世约5万年来海洋氧同位素期(MIS)MIS 3至MIS 1早期的沉积序列。两个站位共识别了底栖有孔虫79属233种,优势类别在973-4组合中为Uvigerina(23.3%)、Bulimina(10.71%)和Cibicidoides(9.87%),在973-5组合中是Bulimina(20.6%),两站位的组合优势和常见属种均以内生类别为主。有孔虫分异度显然同时受到正常深海环境因子TOC和沉积物粒度的影响。总体上,优势和常见类群与TOC相关性较弱,但与δ18OUvigerina spp.有不同程度的相关性,说明有孔虫还受冷泉特殊营养物质和流体因子影响。5万年来,973-4和973-5站位底栖有孔虫组合生活的冷泉微生境,经历了由双壳-自生碳酸盐岩(MIS 3至MIS 2早期)向双壳-菌席(MIS 2晚期至MIS 1早期)的变迁。底栖有孔虫的优势类群也随微生境的变迁而演替,如973-4站位MIS 3-MIS 1的优势类群依次为U.peregrina、Cibicidoides-Bulimina、U.vadescens和Cibicides,973-5站位为Chilostomella+ Globobulimina、Cibicidoides、Bulimina。有孔虫壳体氧碳同位素特征也随时间改变,从MIS 3到MIS 2早期,在自生碳酸盐岩水岩交换背景下,具有富δ18O和亏损δ13C特点(3.5‰~4.49‰,-2‰~-0.2‰); MIS 2晚期—MIS 1早期因双壳和菌席的生物地球化学作用影响,具有略富集δ18O和略微亏损δ13C的特征(2.5‰~3.5‰,-1‰~-0.1‰)。自5万年来两个区甲烷渗漏逐渐减弱,其间发生了几次增强事件。973-4站位记录了1次持续时间约10 ka的增强事件(35~25 ka);973-5站位记录3次(45 ka,35 ka,14~12 ka)。其中,45 ka时海底上涌的甲烷通量可能最大,在海底表面形成水合物。35 ka时的甲烷喷溢增强事件可能为区域性事件。 相似文献

底栖有孔虫在古环境研究中的应用先是用作古水深或水团的标志物。随着新技术的应用,识别出了2种不同的底栖有孔虫微生境：外生种和内生种;认识到甚至深海底栖有孔虫,也能对表层浮游生物勃发的季节性短暂事件作出响应,因为沉降到海底的有机物质供养着底栖有孔虫。目前,底栖有孔虫被广泛应用于估算海洋表层生产力和底层水团的含氧量。回顾了深海底栖有孔虫生态研究的历史和其在古海洋学中的应用,并强调研究、应用中的新方法、新技术。中国已经加入了诸如IODP等深海研究计划,有必要向我国学术界提供底栖有孔虫研究的新方向,以资参考。 相似文献

An extensive geochemical and biogeochemical examination of CH4 seeps in the Clam Flats area of Monterey Bay provides insight into the character of relationships between seep geochemistry and benthic foraminiferal geochemistry. The area is characterized by sulfide-rich fluids. Sulfide increases are associated with large increases in alkalinity, as well as small decreases in dissolved Ca and Mg. In addition, only small increases in NH4 are observed, but values of δ13C of dissolved inorganic C are as low as −60‰ at shallow depths (<3 cm). These observations indicate that all these processes are related to the bacterial oxidation of CH4, which is transported upward by slow seepage of pore fluids. The geochemistry of the pore fluids should be relevant to the geochemistry of the carbonate tests of living and dead foraminifera. However, a profound disequilibrium of approximately an order of magnitude occurs between the δ13C values of stained (cytoplasm-containing) foraminiferal carbonate and the C isotope values of ambient pore water dissolved inorganic C. Reasons are unclear for this isotopic disequilibrium, but have important implications for interpretations of foraminiferal carbonate as a paleoenvironmental proxy. Much fine scale work is needed to fully understand the relationships between the biogeochemistry of benthic foraminifera and the geochemistry of the pore waters where they live. 相似文献

Concentrations of Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni, and Cd were measured in several species and genera of Recent benthic foraminifera
from three coastal lagoons, namely Abu-Shaar, Umm al-Huwaytat, and Marsa Shuni lagoons located along the Egyptian Red Sea
coast. Spatially significant differences in the metal concentrations of benthic foraminifera were recorded among different
sites. However, some foraminiferal species display deformation in their coiling, general shape of chambers and the apertures.
Abu-Shaar and Umm al-Huwaytat lagoons are virtually influenced by anthropogenic activities while Marsa Shuni lagoon is affected
by natural inputs. Benthic foraminifer shows high concentrations of Fe and Mn, especially in Umm al-Huwaytat lagoon. Foraminiferal
black tests support this result and reflect selectivity for iron absorption. Among the metals analyzed, Cd, Pb, and Cu showed
significant high concentrations in benthic foraminifera at the study areas. The anthropogenic activities and natural inputs
are responsible for the abnormalities in benthic foraminifera. Therefore, benthic foraminifera can be used as a good indicator
of the environmental changes. 相似文献

The presence of modern methane seeps at Hydrate Ridge, offshore Oregon, provide an opportunity to study the influence of methane seeps on the ecology and geochemistry of living foraminifera. A series of cores were collected from the southern summit of Hydrate Ridge in 2002. Samples were preserved and stained to determine the δ13C composition of three species of live (stained) and dead benthic foraminifera: Uvigerina peregrina, Cibicidoides mckannai, and Globobulimina auriculata. Specimens were examined under light and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and exhibit no evidence of diagenesis or authigenic carbonate precipitation. Individual living foraminifera from seep sites recorded δ13C values from −0.4‰ to −21.2‰, indicating the isotopic influence of high methane concentrations. Average δ13C values (calculated from single specimens) range from −1.28 to −5.64‰ at seep sites, and −0.81 to −0.85‰ at a control (off seep) site.Two distinct seep environments, distinguished by the presence of microbial mats or clam fields, were studied to determine environmental influences on δ13C values. Individual foraminifera from microbial mat sites exhibited more depleted δ13C values than those from clam field sites. We interpret these differences as an effect of food source and/or symbiotic microbes on foraminiferal carbon isotopic values, acting to magnify the negative δ13C values recorded via the DIC pool. No statistical difference was found between δ13C values of live vs. dead specimens. This suggests that authigenic carbonate precipitation did not play a dominant role in the observed isotopic compositions. However, a few dead specimens with extremely negative δ13C composition (<-12‰) do indicate potential evidence for an authigenic influence on the recorded δ13C composition. 相似文献

Being sensitive to environmental changes, foraminifera have been extensively used to monitor pollution level in the marine environment, including the effect of mining in coastal areas. In the Goa state of India, the rejects from opencast mining on land largely find their way to the estuaries, as washout during monsoon. Additionally, the Mormugao Port at the mouth of the Zuari estuary is the hub of activities due to the transport of ore from hinterland areas by barges and its subsequent loading for export. On the directive of the Supreme Court of India, all the mining-related activities abruptly stopped throughout India, including that in Goa in 2012, and got reinstated in 2015. Therefore, it provided a fit case to test the effectiveness of benthic foraminifera as an indicator of environmental impact due to mining activities. A total of ten surface sediment samples from five locations in Zuari estuary were collected from a depth range of 4.5–8.5 m in the years of 2013 and 2016 and were analyzed for both the living (stained) and dead benthic foraminifera. The year 2013 represents a time interval immediately after the closure of extensive mining activity, and the sampling during 2016 represents minimal mining. The living benthic foraminiferal abundance was higher (19–54/g sediment) during 2013 and decreased substantially during 2016 (3–22/g sediment), suggesting an adverse effect of activities associated with mine closure on benthic foraminifera. Additionally, the relative abundance of Ammonia was also significantly low during the year 2016. The temporal variation in dead foraminifera was, however, different than that of the living foraminifera. The differential response was attributed to the terrigenous dilution as a result of change in sedimentation rate. Therefore, we conclude that living foraminifera correctly incorporate the changes in mining pattern and may be used as an effective tool to monitor the impact of mining. We further suggest that the potential counter effect of terrigenous dilution on total and living benthic foraminiferal population should be considered while interpreting temporal variations in foraminiferal abundance in marginal marine settings. 相似文献

Temporal changes in benthic foraminiferal morpho-groups were suggested as an effective proxy to reconstruct past monsoon intensity from the Arabian Sea. Here, in order to test the applicability of temporal variation in morpho-groups to reconstruct past monsoon intensity from the Bay of Bengal, we have documented recent benthic foraminiferal distribution from the continental shelf region of the northwestern Bay of Bengal. Based on the external morphology, benthic foraminifera were categorized into rounded symmetrical (RSBF) and angular asymmetrical benthic foraminifera (AABF). Additionally, a few other dominant groups were also identified based on test composition (agglutinated, calcareous) and abundance (Asterorotalids and Nonions). The relative abundance of each group was compared with the ambient physico-chemical conditions, including dissolved oxygen, organic matter, salinity and temperature. We report that the RSBF are abundant in comparatively warm and well oxygenated waters of low salinity, suggesting a preference for high energy environment, whereas AABF dominate relatively cold, hypersaline deeper waters with low dissolved oxygen, indicating a low energy environment. The agglutinated foraminifera, Asterorotalids and Nonions dominate shallow water, low salinity regions, whereas the calcareous benthic foraminiferal abundance increases away from the riverine influx regions. Food availability, as estimated from organic carbon abundance in sediments, has comparatively less influence on faunal distribution in the northwestern Bay of Bengal, as compared to dissolved oxygen, temperature and salinity. We conclude that the factors associated with freshwater influx affect the distribution of benthic foraminiferal morpho-groups in the northwestern Bay of Bengal and thus it can be used to reconstruct past monsoon intensity from the Bay of Bengal. 相似文献

Study of an upper Santonian to upper Campanian hemipelagic succession from the southern part of the Romanian Eastern Carpathians enables us to establish an integrated biostratigraphy based on planktonic foraminifera and calcareous nannofossils and to compare this record with the agglutinated foraminiferal biozonation used for the Carpathians.Benthic foraminiferal assemblages were investigated using several methods, such as agglutinated and calcareous benthic foraminiferal morphogroups, and the benthic foraminiferal oxygen index in order to determine their response to environmental parameters in the basin (correlated with sea-level maxima documented by regional sea-level curves for the Tethys). A pattern of changes in benthic foraminiferal communities associated with increased organic carbon flux and rising sea-levels can be summarized as follows in the studied succession. As sea-level begins to rise there is an increase in the proportion of calcareous benthic foraminifera at the expense of agglutinated foraminifera within the benthic assemblages (earliest Campanian, mid-late Campanian). Once sea-level rises, an increase in the elongate keeled morphotype of agglutinated foraminifera (shallower water forms) can be observed, and if sea-level remains high for an extended period (as in the early Campanian) then an invasion of both agglutinated and benthic calcareous foraminifera characteristic of outer shelf-upper slope environments take place in the basin. The variations in tubular and deep infaunal morphotypes of agglutinated foraminifera are ascribed to varying levels of organic carbon flux. 相似文献
