Microlaminated sediment cores from the Kalya slope region of Lake Tanganyika provide a near-annually resolved paleoclimate record between ∼∼2,840 and 1,420 cal. yr B.P. demonstrating strong linkages between climate variability and lacustrine productivity. Laminae couplets comprise dark, terrigenous-dominated half couplets, interpreted as low density underflows deposited from riverine sources during the rainy season, alternating with light, planktonic diatomaceous ooze, with little terrigenous component, interpreted as windy/dry season deposits. Laminated portions of the studied cores consist of conspicuous dark and light colored bundles of laminae couplets. Light and dark bundles alternate at decadal time scales. Within dark bundles, both light and dark half couplets are significantly thinner than within light bundles, implying slower sediment accumulation rates during both seasons over those intervals.Time series analyses of laminae thickness patterns demonstrate significant periodicities at interannual–centennial time scales. Longer time scale periodicities (multidecadal to centennial scale) of light and dark half couplet thicknesses are coherent and in some cases are similar to solar cycle periods on these time scales. Although laminae thickness cycles do not strongly covary with the actual Δ¹⁴C record for this same time period, two large Δ¹⁴C anomalies are associated with substantial decreases in both light and dark laminae thickness. In contrast to the multidecadal– centennial time scale, significant annual to decadal periodicities, which are broadly consistent with ENSO/PDO forcing and their impact on East African climate, are not coherent between light and dark half couplets. The coherency of light–dark couplets at decadal–centennial time scales, but not at shorter time scales, is consistent with a model of a long-term relationship between precipitation (recorded in wet season dark laminae thickness) and productivity (light laminae thickness), which is not manifest at shorter time scales. We hypothesize that this coupling results from long-term recharging of internal nutrient loading during wet periods (higher erosion of soil P) and reduced loading during drought intervals. The relationship is not expressed on short time scales during which the dominant control on productivity is wind-driven, dry season upwelling, which is uncorrelated with wet-season precipitation. Our record greatly extends the temporal record of this quasi-periodic behavior throughout the late Holocene and provides the first evidence linking decade- to century-scale episodes of enhanced productivity to enhanced precipitation levels and nutrient recharge in a productive tropical lake.  相似文献   

甘肃灵台黄土-红粘土序列中坡缕石的分布及其古气候意义   总被引：8，自引：0，他引：8

坡缕石是典型的干旱、强蒸发环境的指示矿物,黄土-红粘土序列中坡缕石的分布对古气候和古环境重建具有重要的指示意义。本文对灵台任家坡剖面中黄土、古土壤和红粘土代表性样品进行了场发射扫描电镜和高分辨透射电镜观察,结果发现,在3.6Ma以前沉积的红粘土中存有大量的自生坡缕石,而在3.2Ma以来沉积的红粘土及其上覆黄土古土壤序列没有坡缕石。剖面样品扫描电镜原位观察形貌特征和微观结构显示,坡缕石属于成壤作用自生矿物,系由伊蒙矿物在富镁孔隙液作用下转化形成。灵台剖面中坡缕石消失的层位与红粘土磁化率升高和粉尘通量及沉积速率增加的层位相一致。坡缕石在剖面中的分布指示3.6～3.2Ma前后是东亚季风的重要转型期,东亚古气候格局发生改变,由连续干暖的夏季风占主导向干冷冬季风和暖湿夏季风高频强波动交替环境演化。  相似文献

许家窑泥河湾河-湖相沉积物磁化率(k)、天然剩磁(NRM)、饱和等温剩磁(SIRM_4T)、非磁滞剩磁(ARM)及S比率(IRM_-0.3T/IRM_4T)等磁学参数与深海氧同位素的对比分析结果显示:1)许家窑泥河湾层从布容/松山界线到氧同位素阶段5(0.13MaB.P.)基本上是连续沉积,沉积速率保持在约2.45cm/103a左右;2)与同期形成的黄土高原黄土-古土壤序列类似,许家窑河-湖相层也很好地记录了当时中国北方的第四纪气候和环境特征,其典型特征为冰期时高矫顽力赤铁矿含量的显著增加,而间冰期则以低矫顽力的磁铁矿及磁赤铁矿为主要载磁矿物;3)由尝试建立的S比率时间标尺所确定的许家窑古人类遗址处的地层年代约0.5MaB.P.,与先前报道的化石的UTh绝对年龄(0.1MaB.P.)不一致;4)与k相比,S比率与SIRM更适合作为河-湖相沉积物的古气候替代性指标;5)以2.45cm/10³a的沉积速率来推算,沉积物的主要物质来源为正常的河-湖相沉积,而直接接受的类似于黄土状的粉尘并不占主导地位  相似文献   

Quantitative reconstruction of the lake water paleotemperature of Daihai Lake, Inner Mongolia, China and its significance in paleoclimate   总被引：5，自引：2，他引：5

By measuring Sr/Ca ratios of the ostracod shells (Limnocthere cf. inopinata) in sediments of the Daihai Lake, and combined with Sr²⁺/Ca²⁺ ratios of the lake water, this paper obtained paleosalinity of the lake water. Vaporizing experiment of the lake water in laboratory showed that there was a quantitative relationship between salinity and oxygen isotope. Using this relationship, oxygen isotope values of the paleo-lake water were calculated. By measuring the oxygen isotope of the authigenic carbonate in the lake’s sediments, and in combination with the oxygen isotope values of the paleo-lake water, the paleotemperature of the lake water was calculated. Finally, based on these proxies, the paleoclimate in the lake basin was explored.  相似文献

伊利石是我国黄土和古土壤中最主要的粘土矿物。本文选择陕西洛川黄土-古土壤国际典型剖面为研究对象,通过测定伊利石的结晶度(Kubler指数)、Srodon峰强比值(Ir)和2M_1多型含量,发现黄土物质的起源与中高温(>280℃)地质环境有关;黄土样品中伊利石结晶度值为0.25°2θ(Cu Ka),古土壤样品中伊利石结晶度值大于0.27°2θ(Cu Ka);黄土和古土壤中伊利石结晶度值的差别,是由于古土壤中伊利石含少量的膨胀层,而黄土样品中的伊利石不含有膨胀层而引起的。古土壤中伊利石的膨胀层的成因,与伊利石  相似文献   

湖相介形虫壳的稳定同位素和微量元素在古气候研究中的应用   总被引：2，自引：3，他引：2

本文介绍了测定实验室养殖的介形虫Candonarawsoni和水的氧同位素分馏系数，结果表明，这个种属的介形虫壳的氧同位素组成是它所生成环境水的氧同位素组成和水温的函数。因此，介形虫壳的氧同位素组成是一个很好的水化学环境指示计。本文研究了Candonarawsoni的脱壳温度范围，发现它可以在很宽温度范围内脱壳及生长新壳。由于季节温度变化很大，所以用介形虫壳的地球化学指标研究古环境的变化时，每个样品都要采集较多的个体介形虫壳，以使其分析结果能代表年平均温度。  相似文献

对取自西菲律宾海区3个沉积物柱样（WP1、WP2和WP40）的32个样品的稀土元素（REE）地球化学行为进行了系统的研究。区内沉积物表现出以下特征：①稀土元素含量及总量（ZREE）较低，WP1、WP2和WP40孔的ΣREE依次为72．91×10－6，54．15×10－6和54．18×10－6，REE在粘土粒级中得到了较大富集；②REE球粒陨石标准化的分布模式曲线表现为负斜率，富集轻稀土，WP1、WP2和WP40孔LREE／HREE比值平均值为37．36，26．33和17．16，页岩标准化曲线大致呈水平；③与球粒陨石和页岩相比，Ce都表现为强烈的亏损；以球粒陨石为标准，WP40孔表现为弱的Eu正异常，其他两孔表现为弱的Eu负异常；以页岩为标准，皆显示Eu正异常；④ΣREE纵向变化曲线与CaCO3旋回曲线有良好的对应关系。上述特征表明：①沉积物的来源复杂，有陆源、火山源、生物源和自生源，在所研究的三个孔中，WP1孔含有较多的陆源物质，WP2和WP40含有较多的火山物质；②被粘土吸附是本区REE重要的存在形式；③沉积物形成环境为氧化条件；④据ΣREE的纵向变化曲线与CaCO3旋回曲线，将本区沉积物自下而上划分为末次冰期亚间冰期沉积、冰期最盛期沉积和全新世沉积。  相似文献
