Tree roots have biogeomorphic engineering effects on epikarst weathering and soil deepening. This is investigated using a system model describing the interactions among biogeomorphic effects of roots, weathering, and soil-epikarst development. The model shows that the system is dynamically unstable when roots are limited by subsurface accommodation space and water availability, and weathering is moisture limited. Instability indicates relatively rapid, unstable growth of epikarst cavities and soil, driven by positive feedbacks. However, when belowground rooting space and moisture are no longer limiting, and weathering is reaction-limited, the system is dynamically stable, indicating steady state or slow growth of epikarst and soils. Results suggest an important role for biogeomorphic ecosystem engineering (BEE) by tree roots in soil and epikarst development, but that BEE is self-limiting. When moisture storage and supply for both plants and dissolution are adequate and sufficient root space is available, BEE effects become negligible. Supportive data and field observations from the Inner Bluegrass region of Kentucky indicate that BEE effects of trees can produce favorable conditions for tree growth, with these effects becoming negligible as soil thickness increases sufficiently.  相似文献

Magnetic susceptibility values for topsoils across England arc combined with data for soil type, geochemistry and concentrations of magnetotactic bacteria in order to evaluate different theories for explaining soil magnetism. Strongly magnetic soils in unpolluted areas are found over weakly magnetic substrates and are dominated by ultrafine superparamagnetic grains. Magnetotactic bacteria are present in insufficient concentrations to account for strongly magnetic soils, and crop burning is discounted as a major factor. A small number of samples show high values associated with either airborne magnetic particulates from pollution or residual primary ferrimagnetic minerals from igneous substrates. The results are used to construct a new mechanism for the formation of secondary ferrimagnetic minerals that links abiological weathering and biological fermentation processes. The fundamental driving force in the mechanism is Fe supply, which may be linked to climate. Observed causative associations between climate and the magnetic susceptibility of loess-palaeosol sequences are supported by the findings.  相似文献

西周沣镐遗址全新世土壤研究   总被引:13,自引:2,他引:11  
周群英  黄春长 《地理科学》2003,23(3):310-315
根据西安西部西周沣镐遗址附近全新世土壤剖面磁化率、全铁、有机碳、Rb和Sr等指标的测定分析,揭示了与全新世环境变化相对应的成壤过程,阐明西周时代土壤和土地资源状况及人类耕作对成壤过程影响。认为全新世早期气候较温和干燥,风尘堆积速率降低,有一定生物风化成壤作用,土壤发育表现为边沉积边成壤;全新世中期气候温暖湿润,生物风化成壤作用大于风尘堆积作用,随着沉积和成壤继续,土壤层深厚,形成古土壤层(S0);全新世晚期气候恶化,沙尘暴频繁发生,风尘堆积作用大于风化成壤作用,形成现代黄土层(L0)覆盖了土壤(S0),使之成为埋藏古土壤。西周时期(3000~2720a B.P.)气候干旱使环境资源恶化,土壤退化严重,当时的耕作层和古地面位于相当于黄土(L0)下部、古土壤(S0)顶界以上10cm的层位。  相似文献

泾河上游黄土高原全新世成壤环境演变与人类活动影响   总被引:10,自引:1,他引:9  
通过对黄土高原腹地甘肃合水MJY-A全新世土壤剖面磁化率、粒度、全铁、TOC、TC、CaCO3等气候代用指标的测定分析。结果表明:在全新世早期,黄土高原中部地区气候虽比较温和干燥,风尘堆积速率降低,土壤发育表现为边沉积边成壤的自然过程;到了全新世中期,气候较为温暖湿润,地表植被发育,生物风化成壤作用强烈,土壤发育依旧表现为自然的成壤过程,形成深厚的古土壤-黑垆土(S0);到了全新世晚期,气候开始恶化,干旱少雨,植被急剧退化,沙尘暴频繁发生,形成的现代黄土层(L0)覆盖了土壤(S0)使之成为埋藏古土壤,土壤发育深受人类活动的影响。现代黄土高原土地资源的退化,并不全是由自然要素本身固有的规律所造成的,而是在自然要素本身变化的背景上叠加了人类活动影响的结果。  相似文献

对海南岛北部玄武岩区岩石-土壤-植物-地下水系统中稀土元素迁移和分布模式的研究表明,随土壤的发育,REE出现分异,LREE逐渐富集;Ce由玄武岩中的负异常向土壤中正异常演化。地下水中REE的含量和分布模式主要受岩石风化和成土作用影响。植物虽对REE具有选择吸收作用,但REE的生物地球化学循环不活跃。  相似文献

Loess-palaeosol deposits in the lower Danube area represent the southeastern edge of the loess cover in Europe. Detailed rock magnetic investigations of the loess/palaeosol sequence in Viatovo in NE Bulgaria reveal that magnetite and maghemite of very fine superparamagnetic grain size are responsible for the magnetic enhancement of palaeosol units. A detailed palaeoclimatic record is obtained through high-resolution measurements of magnetic susceptibility, frequency dependent magnetic susceptibility and CaCO3 content. Magnetic proxies indicate a more warm and humid climate during the development of the older palaeosol units (S4–S6).  相似文献

In semi-arid and arid desert regions of northern China, aeolian deposits document the framework variation of an Asian monsoon during the late Quaternary. However, there is still a lack of detailed data pertaining to Holocene Asian monsoonal variation especial in the modern Asian summer monsoonal boundary belt. In this study, we reconstructed Holocene millennial-scale climatic changes in the Mu Us Desert, northern China, through systematic analysis of the variation of trace elements(324 samples) in different lithological units of the palaeosol-aeolian sand deposit, in combination with14 C and OSL chronology. Statistical results, correlation and clustering analysis indicate that the high content of 11 trace elements(V, Y, Cr, Nb, P, Mn, Cu, Zr, As, Ni and Rb, represented by P) and lower Sr content corresponding to periods of palaeosol development, marked increase of vegetation, weathering degree, and enhanced Asian summer monsoonal strength. In contrast, their opposed variation are coincident with accumulated aeolian sand layers, implying weaker summer monsoons and less geochemical weathering and degraded vegetation. These associations can be considered as signaling regional humid and dry changes of the Holocene environment. Accordingly, relatively arid conditions dominated the region before 7.2 ka, and there was an optimal humid climate in 7.2-4.6 ka. Afterwards, the climate became obviously dry, accompanied with several cycles of relatively wet and dry, such as relatively wet intervals around 4.1-3.7 ka, 3.5-3.3 ka and 2.5 ka. In addition, six millennial-scale dry events were recorded, and these events were consistent with weaker Asian summer monsoonal intervals in low latitudes, declined palaeosol development and precipitation in middle latitudes, as well as increased winter monsoon and periodic ice-rafting events in high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, within limits of accuracy of existing dating ages. This possibly suggests a noteworthy synchronism between millennial-scale climatic changes in this region and on a global scale.  相似文献

The onset of continent-wide glaciation in Antarctica is still poorly understood, despite being one of the most important palaeoclimatic events in the Cenozoic. The Eocene/Oligocene boundary interval has recently been recognized as a critical time for Antarctic climatic evolution, and it may mark the preglacial–glacial transition. Magnetic susceptibility, intensity of natural and artificial remanences, hysteresis parameters and magnetic anisotropy of the lower half (late Eocene/early Oligocene) of the CIROS-1 core (from McMurdo Sound, Antarctica) reveal alternating intervals of high and low magnetic mineral concentrations that do not correspond to lithostratigraphic units in the core. Pseudo-single-domain magnetite is the main magnetic mineral throughout the sequence, and sharp changes in magnetite concentration match changes in clay mineralogy beneath and at the Eocene/Oligocene boundary. The detrital magnetite originated from weathering of the Ferrar Group (which comprises basic extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks). Weathering processes and input of magnetite to the Victoria Land Basin were intense during periods when the Antarctic climate was warmer than today, but during intervals when the climate was relatively cool, chemical weathering of the Ferrar Group was suppressed and input of detrital magnetite to the Victoria Land Basin decreased. Our results also indicate that a cold and dry climate was not established in Antarctica until the Eocene/Oligocene boundary, with major ice sheet growth occurring at the early/late Oligocene boundary. Some earlier cold intervals are identified, which indicate that climate had begun to deteriorate by the middle/late Eocene boundary.  相似文献

Sedimentary cores BDP 96 and 98 and VER 96-2 St. 3 from Academician Ridge in Lake Baikal were investigated to investigate the effect of climatic fluctuations on rock weathering and clay formation in the Baikal drainage basin. Illite, smectite, vermiculite, and kaolinite were identified as the major clay minerals in the sediments by X-ray diffraction analysis. Biotite in gravels in alluvial soils of the Baikal drainage area weathers through illite to vermiculite, smectite, and finally to kaolinite. To investigate the relationship between weathering and climate, we measured the clay content and the concentration of biogenic silica in the sediments. High surface productivity (increased biogenic silica) and high chemical weathering (decreased clay content) occurred simultaneously, showing that crustal weathering and soil formation were enhanced under warm climatic conditions.Clay formation was enhanced in the watershed from the Late Miocene to the Middle Pliocene, and mechanical weathering of rocks increased during glacial intervals after the climate began to cool in Late Pliocene time. This change in the weathering mode in the watershed reduced the nutrient flux and aquatic productivity of Lake Baikal.  相似文献

科尔沁沙地风沙沉积物磁学特征及其古环境意义初探   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
选取位于科尔沁沙地东北缘的六户屯剖面风沙沉积物为研究对象,进行系统的磁学特征和粒度分析。结果表明:六户屯剖面磁性矿物含量较少,磁学性质主要受亚铁磁性磁铁矿控制,并含有少量赤铁矿和针铁矿,磁性矿物粒度较细,以稳定单畴和超顺磁颗粒为主。沉积物中磁性矿物的粒度分布受风力大小与成壤强度的影响,单畴颗粒相对含量随风力的增强而增加,随土壤发育程度的增强而减少,χARM/χlf和χARM/SIRM可以指示冬夏季风的相对强弱。六户屯剖面磁性矿物粒度主要受冬季风强度及其动力分选作用的控制,磁性矿物粒度与沉积物总体粒度呈反相关;但在某些层位,夏季风影响下的成土过程对其改造作用不容忽视。成壤过程中形成的超顺磁颗粒是磁化率增强的主要因素,单畴颗粒对土壤发育适宜期磁化率的增加贡献相对较弱。  相似文献

中国南方表层岩溶带的特征及形成机理   总被引:35,自引:0,他引:35  
蒋忠诚 《热带地理》1998,18(4):322-326
表层岩溶带以密集发育的岩溶微形态呈不规则带状组合于浅层地表为特征。它广布于中国南方岩溶区,但其规模、形态和分布特征三地质、气候等因素的控制。表层岩溶带的存在使南方岩溶区具有浅表层岩溶水循环与地下管道水循环耦合的二次岩溶水循环的结构特征。坚硬纯灰岩的广泛分布,高温多雨、雨热同期的亚热带季风气候为中国南方表层岩溶带的发育提供了极为有利的条件,四大圈层的交汇,碳-水-钙循环活跃,使表层岩溶带的岩溶动力作用明显高于其下部包气带甚至饱水带。表层岩溶带形成是地表强烈岩溶化过程的结果,强的溶蚀动力,水流的快速溶蚀并达到碳酸盐成分饱和状态是表层岩溶带发育机理的关键。  相似文献

Weathering and morphogenesis in a mediterranean climate, Calabria, Italy   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Deeply weathered plutonic rocks occur widely in the Sila Massif, Calabria, southern Italy. Three representative weathering profiles developed on the hilltops indicate that sand represents more than 50% by weight throughout most of the weathering profile, and silt- and clay-size fractions are also well represented, filling the interstices among corestones. Both sand, and finer fractions of grus, and soil horizons, are thought to be derived from a combination of granular disintegration and chemical decomposition, developed on relatively flat terrains of the Sila massif. These slopes are now experiencing transport-limited morphodynamics, under a montane-modified Mediterranean climate. The depth of the weathered layers, that have suffered little erosional truncation, typically exceed 15 m, and may reach 50–60 m or more. Major isolated or grouped exfoliation boulders are the most common minor landform feature developed on the Sila massif granite. Boulders have developed as a result of spheroidal weathering and by removal of the sandy-textured granite. The Schmidt hammer (SH) test on boulders and corestones, suggests three distinctive degree of weathering (from moderately to completely weathered rock), and that biotite content is the major controlling factor of the granite mechanical behaviour. Understanding of the dynamics of this weathering system is crucial to the interpretation of the complex suite of variables that control landscape evolution of granitoid terrains.  相似文献

为探究地下水补给对气候变化的响应,以乌兰布和沙漠为例,基于氯质量平衡法,通过野外打钻和室内离子分析,重建区域地下水补给历史和短时间尺度的气候变化过程。结果表明:降水对沙漠地区的地下水补给非常小,对比周边地区记录发现,地下水补给呈现出由西向东逐渐增大的趋势,且一定程度上反映出贺兰山对季风气流的阻挡作用,在相关季风较弱年份,贺兰山西侧降水补给弱于东侧。过去600年来本地区的气候波动大,1455-1500 AD、1600-1650 AD是气候较为干旱的时期,18世纪末至19世纪初是环境演化一个重要的时间界限,自此以后的漫长时间,干旱化进程进一步加剧,尤其是1920-1930 AD,区域极端干旱。本研究也验证了处于季风边缘沙漠地区降水入渗补给对气候变化所呈现出的响应差异。  相似文献

风化坑是常见的岩石坑穴地形,但容易被误解或与其他成因坑穴地形混淆。通过对庙湾岛风化坑地貌特征及形态参数进行详细测量和分析,采集风化坑内残积碎屑物、坑外岩石和当地风化壳样品进行粉晶X射线荧光光谱化学主量分析(XRF)和X射线衍射矿物分析(XRD),对风化坑发育的成因机制进行了探讨,并得出以下结论:1)风化坑的发育与地形坡度有关,通常出现在平坦裸露的岩石面上。2)风化坑的形态特征表现为宽且浅,口缘有出水口,底部平坦,侧壁最凹处与出水口高度一致,其口径发育的速度远大于深度,长轴发育速度远大于短轴。3)同一岩石面上的风化坑具有不同的大小和深度,显示了其发育程度不一,其最大、最小深度对比反映了风化坑的发育过程。4)风化坑碎屑物与表岩之间的元素迁移和化学蚀变指数(CIA值)的差异,反映了风化坑的化学风化成因。5)风化坑碎屑物的英长比大于表岩,证明了化学风化导致的矿物差异风化作用。研究表明:庙湾岛风化坑形成和发育的主要作用为坑内积水的化学风化。  相似文献

太白山土壤特性及氧化铁发生学特征   总被引:16,自引:1,他引:16  
随海拔的降低,秦岭北坡中山区森林土壤因温度、降水和植被类型的变化存在很大差异:高海拔地区发育的酸性湿润雏形土酸度较高,有机质含量十分丰富;与之相比,低海拔地区发育的简育湿润淋溶土有机质含量下降,但结构复杂,土壤具有粘化层。较高的有机质含量和特殊的有机质组成促进了纯针叶林土壤中硅酸盐矿物的溶解,释放出氧化铁并使之螯迁至土壤B层富集。环境因素决定了土壤酸度、有机质等特性,也影响土壤氧化铁的组成和分布。土壤粘粒含量与土体游离氧化铁含量显著相关,剖面铁的游离度与氧化铁全量无关,只与土壤发育程度有关。太白山北坡中山区土壤处于脱盐基富硅铝化的风化发育阶段  相似文献
