为了揭示蜗牛化石壳体碳酸盐（文石）稳定同位素组成的古气候和古生态环境指示意义,对采集于河南荥阳邙山末次冰期黄土剖面上部中的粉华蜗牛（Cathaica pulveratrix）化石壳体碳酸盐进行了碳、氧稳定同位素分析,同时还对全岩有机物质（SOM）碳同位素组成以及全岩磁化率和粒度等气候替代指标进行分析,结果显示：剖面中反映蜗牛食物碳同位素组成的壳体δ13CSSA的变化,与反映古植被碳同位素组成的全岩有机物质碳同位素组成（δ13CSOM）无显著的相关关系,但是壳体13C相对于SOM的富集程度（Δδ13CSSA-SOM）的变化与石笋氧同位素记录的末次冰期东亚夏季风强度演化同步一致; 壳体δ18OSSA的变化不但与黄土磁化率、粒度等气候替代指标变化具有显著相关性,同样也与末次冰期东亚夏季风强度演化同步一致。这些特征,一方面说明受季风环流控制的气候温湿程度变化左右蜗牛夏季活动的几率和食物的类型,干冷气候条件下,相对温湿夏季成为蜗牛活动主要时期,相对富集13C苔藓、菌类和植物可能是蜗牛的主要食物; 另一方面暗示蜗牛化石壳体碳酸盐稳定同位素组成能够指示气候温湿程度和生态环境的变化。 相似文献

陆生蜗牛壳体碳酸盐氧同位素组成,理论上取决于壳体生长季节的降水 18O丰度、温度和湿度,对揭示古气候和古环境变化具有巨大的潜力。然而,同一地区不同属种的蜗牛生长季节存在一定的差异,因此,了解不同季节生长的蜗牛壳体氧同位素特征,是其成为重建古气候、古环境变化的工具的关键。为了进一步阐明降水氧同位素组成和气候月际变化对蜗牛壳体 18O的影响,分别对从江苏镇江逐月采集的现生细纹灰尖巴蜗牛(Bradybaena ravida redfieldi)进行了整体壳体及壳口文石氧同位素组成的分析,结果表明： 1)不同月份采集的样品壳口的 δ18O 值变化较大,从－1.92‰至－6.79‰,幅度达4.87‰,其中,4～6月采集的样品 δ18O 值较正,平均 －2.40±0.42‰,7～9月采集的样品明显偏负,平均 －6.41±0.34‰; 2)整个壳体的 δ18O 值差别不大,平均 －2.61±0.47‰,与 4～6月壳口 δ18O 平均值相近; 3)不同月份蜗牛壳口 δ18O 值呈现出与当地的降水氧同位素组成、温度和大气相对湿度等相似的季节性变化模式,其中降水氧同位素组成对壳口 δ18O 变化的影响是主要的。这些特征说明,蜗牛壳体碳酸盐氧同位素组成受其生长时的环境因素(降水 18O丰度,温度和相对湿度)控制,对于中国夏季风影响地区来说,春季生长的蜗牛壳体相对富集 18O,而夏季生长的壳体 18O相对贫化。换句话说,根据蜗牛壳体碳酸盐氧同位素组成能够推测壳体主要生长季节,或降水 18O丰度及气候温湿程度的特征。对于B.ravida redfieldi来说,氧同位素组成显示了壳体主要生长时期为春季的特征。 相似文献

利用洞穴碳酸盐沉积物中的氧碳同位素来作为气候替代指标的一个突出问题是其氧碳同位素的指代意义在全球是否具有普适性？这直接关系到数据的解译及所取得信息的可靠性。桂林地区5年降水的系统研究表明,该地区降水氧同位素特征主要受季风类型及降水云团来源和性质的控制,在不同的季风条件下,降水的δ18O值有显著的差异。夏季降水主要受夏季风和热带风暴控制(5—10月)时,降水的δ18O值较轻,5年的平均值为-7．68％。,SMOW);而冬季风盛行,降水多以锋面雨为主(11月至次年4月)时,降水的δ18O值较重,5年的平均值为-3．84‰,SMOW)。此外,从全年的情况来看,该地区降水的δ18O值与月均气温呈负相关 相似文献

选择青藏高原14个代表性现代湖泊的表层沉积物为研究对象,它们是冷湖、大苏干湖、小苏干湖、大柴旦湖、小柴旦湖、托素湖、尕海、茶卡湖、唐古拉-1、错鄂、乃日平错、纳木错、空姆错和普莫雍错,探讨这些湖泊碳酸盐矿物组成及相应氧稳定同位素组成的影响因素。XRD结果显示这些湖泊的碳酸盐矿物多以方解石为主,并含白云石。其中冷湖以白云石为主,尕海还含有一定量的文石。碳酸盐氧同位素分析结果显示总碳酸盐δ18O在-15.9‰到2.6‰范围变化,方解石δ18O变化范围为-16.2‰～3.9‰,白云石δ18O变化在-15.3‰～-5.4‰范围内。通过氧同位素与湖区环境因素的相关性分析,认为总碳酸盐δ18O受湖水δ18O组成、温度、降水量/蒸发量、盐度、海拔和纬度多种因素影响;方解石δ18O主要受湖水δ18O、温度、盐度、海拔和纬度的影响;白云石δ18O受降水量/蒸发量和盐度的影响。总碳酸盐δ18O对湖水δ18O、温度、海拔和纬度的响应是以方解石为载体而体现的;总碳酸盐δ18O对降水量/蒸发量的响应则归因于白云石δ18O对其的响应结果;另外总碳酸盐δ18O通过方解石和白云石δ18O的叠加作用响应于盐度。该研究初步建立了总碳酸盐、方解石和白云石氧同位素与环境各个指标之间的响应关系,对于揭示过去青藏高原地区环境变化有重要意义。 相似文献

内陆封闭湖泊自生碳酸盐氧同位素组成与大气降水同位素组成、空气相对湿度和地面气温这三个参数相关。我国季风带的青海湖与色林错的δ18O曲线非常相似,说明古气候变化受相同因素驱动。在10500～9500aB．P．的末次冰期向全新世的过渡期,这两个湖泊的δ18O值大幅度下降,这是夏季风雨水的低δ18O值的缘故。属于西风带的玛纳斯湖和季风带的青海湖的δ18O曲线基本上是对称的。大约9500～4000aB．P,图形由对称转变为相似,据此推论当时夏季风的影响范围可能达到新疆北部。 相似文献

通过对黄土高原西峰黄土剖面S5古土壤层的蜗牛化石组合研究发现,西峰地区在S5形成时（对应海洋氧同位素MIS1513期）气候环境经历了几次显著的波动。MIS15期地层中绝大多数蜗牛壳体被溶蚀,气候非常暖湿,夏季风强盛;MIS14是个弱冰期,蜗牛组合显示气候以凉湿为主,仍然有较强的夏季风影响;MIS13期以暖湿的气候为主,夏季风增强。对温湿蜗牛种类冠状砂螺（Gastrocopta coreana）含量变化的功率谱分析显示出明显的23ka周期,表明岁差轨道驱动的低纬太阳辐射是控制黄土高原夏季风变化的主导因素;冷干种类杂色虹蛹螺（Pupilla aeoli）含量变化具有明显的100ka和弱的43ka周期,说明即使在气候特征总体暖湿的背景下,冬季风仍具有以全球冰量（100ka）为主导周期的变化特征。在海洋和冰芯记录中MIS13和MIS15时期并不是最温暖的间冰期,但在黄土高原受到强夏季风的持续影响,这可能与此时北半球夏季太阳辐射量的增强和北大西洋深层流强度的加强有关。S5中S5SS1与S5SS3两层强烈发育的古土壤可能有着不同的发育机制,S5SS1因其较发育的母质、超长的成壤期,形成了比S5SS3更强的成壤特征。分析认为全球冰量与轨道驱动的北半球太阳辐射对MIS1513时期黄土高原气候环境的演替和冬、夏季风的消长起了主导作用。 相似文献

陆生蜗牛壳体碳氧同位素组成记录了环境气候信息,是地质历史时期古环境和古气候重建的一个良好指标。文章在前人对现生蜗牛壳体碳氧同位素的环境意义研究基础上,通过增加对不同气候条件下的新疆地区（受西风带控制）、川西地区（受印度季风控制）以及东北地区（东亚季风北端）的现生蜗牛碳氧同位素组成进行测试分析,结合中国其他地区已有数据,总结探讨所有研究区已有蜗牛壳体碳氧同位素组成的分布规律及影响因子,回归分析蜗牛壳体碳氧同位素组成与降水量、温度、湿度、蒸发量及干燥度等5个气候因子之间的关系。得出以下研究结果：全国范围内的蜗牛壳体碳同位素组成与年均降水量、年均相对湿度具有明显负相关关系,与年均蒸发量及干燥度具明显正相关关系,年均温度大于9.5℃采样点的蜗牛壳体碳同位素与温度呈负相关关系;蜗牛壳体氧同位素组成与各种气候因子之间的关系比较复杂而显示无明显的相关性,可能由于不同区域蜗牛壳体氧同位素对不同气候因子的响应程度不同,也可能是由于蜗牛壳体氧同位素与温度的关系在不同区域存在差异导致。总之,蜗牛壳体碳同位素较为忠实地记录了有效降水引起C3植被同位素变化的信息,而对蜗牛壳体氧同位素记录的信息的解读还不明晰,仍需更多研究。 相似文献

降水中稳定同位素作为水中的组成成分,与水汽来源的变化存在直接的关系。根据在青藏高原降水中稳定同位素的研究,青藏高原南北降水中δ18 O和过量氘(d)都存在着显著的空间变化,这种空间变化与西南季风夏季向北推进的位置有关。在时间变化上,青藏高原不同地区降水中δ18 O和d的季节变化特征也与水汽来源的季节变化有关,而且这种季节变化主要受控于西南季风水汽与西风带输送水汽之间的相互作用,在中国最北端的阿尔泰山区还受到极地气团的影响。由于不同的大气环流造成的水汽来源的差异,青藏高原冰芯中稳定同位素变化也存在空间差异。北部地区冰芯中稳定同位素的年际变化与当地气象站记录显示良好的对应关系,而南部冰芯中稳定同位素的变化与当地气象站降水量在年际变化上显示反相关关系。 相似文献

采用 210Pb定年和碳、氧稳定同位素分析方法对盘龙洞内的洞穴次生碳酸盐沉积物进行了系统研究,重建桂林地区近150年来的气候变化。本文采用的次生碳酸盐沉积物是采自桂林盘龙洞中的P001石笋和P007流石,分别获得9个和12个 210Pb测年数据; 以及41个和46个碳、氧同位素数据。P001石笋碳、氧同位素记录年代跨度为公元 1869～2002年, δ18O 平均值为－6.28‰, δ13O 平均值为－7.59‰; P007流石碳、氧同位素记录跨度为公元 1854～2004年, δ18O 平均值为－5.27‰, δ13O 平均值为－6.68‰。P001石笋和P007流石碳、氧同位素记录的低频信号显示出一致的变化趋势,而且二者的 δ13C 曲线相对 δ18O 曲线一致性更强,说明它们受同样环境条件所制约,同时也说明了其 210Pb年代系列的建立是可靠的。盘龙洞石笋和流石的 δ18O 和 δ13O 记录在公元 1930～1965年都出现一个低谷,表明该时段植被生产力相对减弱,亦即降水相对减少。通过P001石笋和P007流石的碳、氧同位素记录与现代降雨记录的比较可知,在年际至10年际尺度上,氧同位素反映的为降水或者季风的强弱。由此,公元1854年到2005年的151年内,盘龙洞碳酸盐沉积物氧同位素所反映的气候变化信息为3个阶段： 1)1854年至1900年的相对较强季风期,降水量较丰, δ18O 平均值为－6.3‰; 2)1900年至1960年的较弱季风期,降水量较少, δ18O 平均值为－5.1‰; 3)1960年至2005年的较强季风期,降水量较丰富,δ18O 平均值为－6.1‰。 相似文献

The oxygen isotopic composition of Stenomelania gastropod shells was investigated to reconstruct Holocene palaeoclimate change at Lake Kutubu in the southern highlands of Papua New Guinea. Oxygen isotope (δ18O) values recorded in aquatic gastropod shells change according to ambient water δ18O values and temperature. The gastropod shells appear to form in oxygen isotopic equilibrium with the surrounding water and record a shift in average shell oxygen isotopic composition through time, probably as a result of warmer/wetter conditions at ca. 600–900 and 5900–6200 cal a bp. Shorter term fluctuations in oxygen isotope values were also identified and may relate to changes in the intensity or source of rainfall. Further δ18O analyses of gastropod shells or other carbonate proxies found in the Lake Kutubu sediments are warranted. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Pleistocene vegetation history on the Chinese Loess Plateau has been traditionally investigated using palynological methods, and questions remain regarding whether an extensive broadleaf deciduous forest ever developed on the loess table under favorable climatic conditions. The authors have employed a C isotope approach to address this question by comparing δ13C values in soil organic matter from different loess ecological domains with known source vegetation to the C isotope values obtained from a paleosol section that can be dated back to 130 ka. The C isotopic compositions of modern soils from the loess table and the loess–desert transition gave δ13C values of −24.5‰ to −18.2‰ and −25.7‰ to −20.7‰, respectively. These C isotopic ratios are consistent with the standing modern vegetation that is dominated by a mixture of C3 and C4 plants and can be distinguished from that in the patchy forest areas where exclusive C3 trees yield a narrow δ13C value range from −26.9‰ to −25‰ (average −26.1‰). Obtained δ13C compositions from paleosols and loess sediments in the Lantian and the Luochuan profiles vary from −24‰ to −16.9‰, indicating a grass-dominated steppe with shifting C3 and C4 contributions controlled mainly by paleoclimatic changes during the late Pleistocene. The present results suggest no extensive forest coverage on the loess table during the past 130 ka even under the most suitable conditions for forest development. This conclusion supports the explanation of natural causes for the development of only patchy forests on the modern loess table and provides critical historical information toward the vegetation restoration project that is currently underway on the Chinese Loess Plateau. 相似文献

Morphological characters and multi-element isotopic compositions of carbonates from the loess-paleosol sequences in Northwestern China are examined to explore the origin of the minerals. Samples are collected from various sections ranging from Holocene to 0.9 Ma within the sequences and fractions with grain sizes >45 and <2 μm are separated from the bulk soil and examined by SEM and TEM. The results show that the grains >45 μm exhibit an almost perfect spherical shape while those <2 μm are dominated by nano-rods having diameters of 30-50 nm and lengths of 0.3-2 μm, presumably indicating the detrital origin of the coarse fractions and the authigenic characters of the fine ones. Such implications are corroborated by the multi-elemental isotopic compositions of the carbonate minerals. A comparison of the δ13C and δ18O values between minerals and biologically originated samples indicates that the <2 μm fractions have a similar composition to those of coexisting land snail shells. Additional differences between the two size fractions also manifest in the ratios of 206Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/204Pb, 208Pb/204Pb, and 87Sr/86Sr. These results suggest the utility of fine carbonate particles in the soil profile in reconstructing a potentially higher resolution δ13C and δ18O time series to elucidate the paleoclimatic fluctuation in the Chinese Loess Plateau during Pleistocene. The discovery of the nano-rod calcite in Chinese loess, together with previous findings of the similar mineral form in Asian dust, strongly suggests the possibility that these highly reactive CaCO3 form may alter the aerosol properties during transport. 相似文献

Water temperature, oxygen isotope composition and the δ13C of dissolved inorganic carbon were measured in 2 southern Michigan rivers, the Huron River and Fleming Creek, between late September 1990 and June 1992. The final full year of shell growth in 3 unionids collected in 1992 from these rivers was sampled for stable isotope analysis with a resolution of 30 μm. The δ18O of both shell nacre and the prismatic layer is accurately predicted by a fractionation relationship developed for biogenic aragonite. High resolution sampling of 3 species and bulk sampling of 3 other species suggest that all unionids adhere to this oxygen isotope fractionation relationship. This relationship is used to show that shell growth ceases below approximately 12°C. In these 2 settings the average δ18O value of shell (PDB scale) is within 0.5‰ of the average δ18O of river water (SMOW scale). Unionids can therefore be used in oxygen-isotope-based paleoclimatic and paleohydrologic reconstructions. In contrast, the carbon isotope ratio of shell is not accurately predicted by published fractionation factors between D.I.C. and carbonate. Shell δ13C is more negative than predicted values and the offset is highly variable suggesting a significant and variable incorporation of metabolic carbon into the shell carbonate. 相似文献

Climatic Signals in the Last 200 Years from Stable Isotope Record in the Shells of Freshwater Snails in Lake Xingcuo,Eastern Tibet Plateau,China 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Lake Xingcuo is a small closed,hard-water lake ,situated on eastern Tibet Plateau.Stable isotope data(δ^18O and δ^13C) from the freshwater snail Gyraulus sibirica(Dunker)in a34 cm long,radioactive isotope-dated sediment core represent the last 200 years of Lake Xingcuo environmental history.Carbon and oxygen isotope ratios in the shells of the freshwater snail bear information on the isotopic composition of the water in which the shells were formed ,which in turn characterizes the climatic conditions prevailing during the snail‘s life span.Whole-shell and incremental growth data were collected from modern and fossil shells from Lake Xingcuo.The δ18^O values of modern shells from Lake Xingcuo are in equilibrium with high δ^13CTDIC.By calibrating δ^18O and δ^13C in the shell Gyraulus sibirica(Dunker)with in-strument-measured data for the period 1954-1992,we found that the δ^18O of the snail shells is an efficient indicator to reveal air temperature in the warmer half year instead of that around the whole year,and that there is a certain positive correlation between index δ^18O and the run-ning average temperature in the warmer half-yiar period.Climatic variability on eastern Tibet Plateau,for the last two centuries,has been successfully inferred from the δ^18O record in freshwater snails in the sediments of Lake Xingcuo.As such,the last 200 years of palaeocli-matic record for this region can be separated into three periods representing oscillations between warming and cooling,which are confirmed by the Guliya ice record on the Tibet Plateau. 相似文献

黄土频率磁化率与古气候冷暖变换 总被引：66，自引：11，他引：66
本文详细研究和对比了几个区域的黄土剖面,证明中国黄土地层发育的一致性;根据第5阶段以来黄土磁化率和深海氧同位素曲线特征的比较,证明中国黄土地层的连续性和全球气候变化的一致性。黄土地层的古气候信息强度与分辨率成反比,是全球信号和区域信号的叠加。黄土高原各地厚度或沉积速率的差别主要是1.7 Ma以来形成的。黄土地层频率磁化率数值随黄土和古土壤层的出现,分别呈波谷和波峰对应,说明在温湿条件下有许多细小(<0.03 μm)的铁磁性矿物形成,它可能是导致古土壤磁化率增高的最主要原因。这些磁颗粒的含量反映古气候温湿程度的强弱和持续时间的长短。黄土频率磁化率对古气候的突变或渐变研究可能具有十分重要的意义。 相似文献

The Korneuburg Basin, with mainly upper Lower Miocene (Karpatian) sediment filling, is divided by the Mollmannsdorf–Obergänserndorf Swell into two sub-basins characterised by different environmental settings. Paleoecological data indicate a marine northern part and a mainly estuarine southern part. Nevertheless, short-termed marine ingressions from the north allowed marine faunas (ostracods, molluscs, and echinoids) to temporarily settle the southern part of the basin. The carbon and oxygen isotopic composition of gastropod shells from these different environmental settings were investigated. Highest δ18O and δ13C values are found in Turritella shells from the northern part of the basin, and in Turritella shells from layers interpreted as a marine ingression in the south. Generally, components of the mudflat fauna (Tympanotonos cinctus, Granulolabium bicinctum, Terebralia bidendata, and Ocenebra crassilabiata) have slightly lower isotope values. Considerable freshwater influx in the southern part is documented by abundant freshwater genera such as Melanopsis, which show low carbon and oxygen isotope values. Data of identical taxa, especially Turritella and Granulolabium, reflect a trend from higher isotope values at the marine northern part to slightly lower values in the mainly estuarine southern part of the basin. Differences in δ18O between the marine and the estuarine assemblages are interpreted to be caused by changes in salinity and isotopic composition of ambient water rather than by temperature. Paleotemperature estimates derived from oxygen isotope data are in good agreement with existing paleoclimatic proxies for the Korneuburg Basin. Hence, an annual range of the sea-surface temperature from 13 to 26°C can be predicted within that protected basin. 相似文献

Land snails provide a unique opportunity to study terrestrial paleoenvironments because their shells, which are generally highly abundant and well-preserved in the fossil record, contain a temporal record of environmental change in the form of isotope codes. To evaluate the utility of this approach for a low-latitude oceanic setting, 207 modern shells of 18 species of land snail were analyzed for their oxygen and carbon isotope composition along a north and south facing altitudinal gradient (10-2160 m a.s.l.) in Tenerife Island (∼28°N) of the Canary Archipelago.Shells collected at each locality showed a relatively large range in isotope composition which was greater along the south facing transect (drier and hotter), suggesting that the variance in shell isotope values may be related to water-stress. Although pooled isotope values did not generally show strong relationships with environmental variables (i.e., altitude, temperature and precipitation), mean isotope values were strongly associated with some climatic factors when grouped by site. The mean δ18O value of the shell (δ18Oshell) by site displayed a negative correlation with elevation, which is consistent with the positive relationship observed between temperature and the δ18O value of rain (δ18Orain). Calculated δ18O values of the snail body water (δ18Obody) derived from observed temperatures and δ18Oshell values (using the equation of Grossman and Ku [Grossman E. L. and Ku T. L. (1986) Oxygen and carbon isotope fractionation in biogenic aragonite. Chem. Geol. (Isotope Geosci. Sec.)59, 59-74]) displayed a trend with respect to altitude that was similar to measured and hypothetical δ18O values for local rain water. The calculated δ18Obody values from the shell declined 0.17‰ (VSMOW) per 100 m, which is consistent with the “altitude effect” observed for tropical rains in Western Africa, and it correlated negatively with rainfall amount. Accordingly, lower δ18Oshell values indicate lower temperatures, lower δ18Orain values and possibly, higher rainfall totals. A positive correlation between the mean δ13C values of shells (δ13Cshell) and plants by site suggests that shells potentially record information about the surrounding vegetation. The δ13Cshell values varied between −15.7 and −0.6‰ (VPDB), indicating that snails consumed C3 and C4/CAM plants, where more negative δ13Cshell values probably reflects the preferential consumption of C3 plants which are favored under wetter conditions. Individuals with more positive δ13Cshell values consumed a larger percentage of C4 plants (other potential factors such as carbonate ingestion or atmospheric CO2 contribution were unlikely) that were more common at lower elevations of the hotter and drier south facing transect. The relatively wide range of shell isotope values within a single site requires the analysis of numerous shells for meaningful paleoclimatic studies. Although small differences were observed in isotope composition among snail species collected at a single sampling site, they were not significant, suggesting that isotope signatures extracted from multi-taxa snail data sets may be used to infer environmental conditions over a broad range of habitats. 相似文献

The Bohai Sea coastal zone of China consists of the Pacific Ocean to the east and Eurasia to the west; hence, this region is influenced by both the ocean and continental landmasses. The carbonate formation mechanism of eolian sediment within this area is poorly understood. The loess-paleosol sediments of the Miaodao stratigraphical section (MDS) contain a record of carbonate changes in this region during the last interglacial period. New insights into regional carbonate formation mechanisms since the last interglacial period were obtained by analyzing the ages of various sedimentary facies in combination with proxy paleoclimatic indices (including average grain size, standard deviation, CaCO3 content, and clay minerals), as well as via foraminiferal analysis. The results led to three principal findings: (1) The carbonate content change in the MDS was neither controlled by grain size nor affected by minerals. The carbonate change controlled by precipitate leaching in the Loess Plateau region cannot explain the eolian sediments within the Bohai Sea coastal zone. (2) Various subsections contain obvious carbonate content changes caused by foraminiferal deposits atop the eolian sediments, which were deposited by storm surges during a high sea-level period. This increased the carbonate content in the eolian sediments and restricted the carbonate content in the Bohai Sea coastal zone. (3) Newly detected foraminifera of the last interglacial period on the eolian sediment of the MDS were the main source of carbonate content, providing a new understanding of the carbonate formation mechanism in eolian sediments different from that of the Loess Plateau. 相似文献
