Seasonal Response of Planktonic Foraminifera to Surface Ocean Condition: Sediment Trap Results from the Central North Pacific Ocean     

Nobuhisa O. Eguchi  Hodaka Kawahata  Asahiko Taira 《Journal of Oceanography》1999,55(6):681-691

The fluxes of planktonic foraminifera (calcareous shell producing zooplankton) were examined in order to clarify temporal and regional variations in production in the upper ocean in relation to hydrographic conditions. Three time-series sediment traps were deployed in the central North Pacific along 175°E for about one year, beginning in June 1993. Trap sites were located in the subarctic, the transition, and the subtropical water masses, from north to south. The southernmost site was under the influence of the transition zone in January to May. Both temporal and regional fluxes of planktonic foraminifera showed large variations during the experiment. In the subarctic water mass, high total foraminiferal fluxes (TFFs) and high organic matter fluxes (OMFs) were observed during summer to fall, suggesting that food availability is the most important factor for the production of planktonic foraminifera. Furthermore, low TFFs during winter were ascribed to low food availability and low temperatures. The OMFs and TFFs correlated well and increased rapidly after the disruption of the seasonal thermocline during winter, peaking in late February to early March in the transition zone. In the subtropical water mass, both OMFs and TFFs remained low due to lower productivity under oligotrophic conditions. In general, TFFs show a positive correlation with OMFs during the trap experiment, suggesting that food availability is one of the factors controlling the production of planktonic foraminifera in the central North Pacific. Relatively low TFFs during summer to fall in the subtropical water mass may be caused by the thermal structure of the upper ocean. Low SST possibly reduces the production of foraminifera during winter in the subarctic region.  相似文献   

塔里木盆地塔中地区主要构造圈闭形成期分布及成藏意义   总被引：11，自引：0，他引：11  

赵宗举  周新源  范国章 《海相油气地质》2006,11(2):1-8

通过对塔中地区钻遇奥陶系的60余口井过井地震剖面的精细解释及地震反射截切—上超关系、沉积厚度变化分析,识别出最初形成于晚奥陶世—泥盆纪、石炭纪—早二叠世、早二叠世晚期及中、新生代的四期奥陶系内幕构造圈闭,以及最初形成于石炭纪—早二叠世、早二叠世晚期、晚二叠世、中—晚三叠世及早第三纪末以来的五期石炭系内幕构造圈闭;发现了塔中地区主要构造圈闭的首次形成期呈现由南向北逐渐变晚的总体趋势。构造圈闭形成与成藏配套综合分析表明,该区现今工业性油藏的主要成藏期为二叠纪—早三叠世,而中—晚三叠世及其以后所形成的构造圈闭不利于油藏的形成。认为塔中地区的主力烃源应该来自近邻的满加尔凹陷中—上奥陶统相当于黑土凹组—萨尔干组的层段。  相似文献

车尔臣断裂带的构造特征、寒武系-下奥陶统地层地震相特征与沉积相展布、构造与岩相之间关系的研究表明,车尔臣断裂构造带具有“三段式”结构。西段与东段相似,为巨厚的碳酸盐岩建造,刚性强,以断裂形式释放应力,所形成的构造带成排发育,圈闭面积小而个数多;中段塔东低凸起以泥岩建造为主,岩层刚性弱,以塑性变形为主,构造带不发育,构造样式主要为古生界的宽缓背斜,圈闭面积大而个数少。通过沉积相和构造综合研究证实存在2个岩性圈闭带：古城奥陶系礁滩相岩性圈闭带和罗布泊奥陶系礁滩相构造-岩性复合圈闭带。  相似文献   

断层圈闭形成机制及时空配置有效性评价——以歧口凹陷歧南斜坡为例

断层的分段生长和连接控制着断层圈闭的形成,为了研究断层形成过程对圈闭形成的控制作用,应用位移/离距法和位移梯度比法判别断层相互作用阶段,落实断层圈闭的空间匹配有效性。针对空间匹配的断层圈闭,应用最大断距相减法开展断层圈闭形成时期的研究,在成藏关键时期前形成的断层圈闭是油气有利聚集的部位。本文以歧口凹陷歧南斜坡的南大港同向断层与扣村反向断层为例,开展断层圈闭时空配置有效性评价,研究结果表明油气多分布在同时具备空间和时间匹配有效的断层圈闭内,仅具备空间或时间匹配有效性的断层圈闭中未见油气聚集。因此,通过对未钻探断层圈闭开展时空匹配有效性评价,能够有效地降低勘探开发的风险。  相似文献   

Deep sea circulation of particulate organic carbon in the Japan Sea     

Shigeyoshi Otosaka  Takayuki Tanaka  Orihiko Togawa  Hikaru Amano  Eugeny V. Karasev  Masayuki Minakawa  Shinichiro Noriki 《Journal of Oceanography》2008,64(6):911-923

Seasonal and spatial variations of particulate organic carbon (POC) flux were observed with sediment traps at three sites in the Japan Sea (western and eastern Japan Basin and Yamato Basin). In order to investigate the transport processes of POC, radiocarbon (¹⁴C) measurements were also carried out. Annual mean POC flux at 1 km depth was 30.7 mg m⁻²day⁻¹ in the western Japan Basin, 12.0 mg m⁻²day⁻¹ in the eastern Japan Basin and 23.8 mg m⁻²day⁻¹ in the Yamato Basin. At all stations, notably higher POC flux was observed in spring (March–May), indicating biological production and rapid sinking of POC in this season. Sinking POC in the high flux season showed modern Δ¹⁴C values (>0‰) and aged POC (Δ¹⁴C < −40‰) was observed in winter (December–January). The Δ¹⁴C values in sinking POC were negatively correlated with aluminum concentration, indicating that Δ¹⁴C is strongly related to the lateral supply of lithogenic materials. The Δ¹⁴C values also showed correlations with excess manganese (Mn_xs) concentrations in sinking particles. The Δ¹⁴C-Mn_xs relationship suggested that (1) the majority of the aged POC was advected by bottom currents and incorporated into sinking particles, and (2) some of the aged POC might be supplied from the sea surface at the trap site as part of terrestrial POC. From the difference in the Δ¹⁴C-Mn_xs relationships between the Japan Basin and the Yamato Basin, we consider that basin-scale transport processes of POC occur in the Japan Sea.  相似文献   

Sulfur stable isotopes indicate the source of sinking materials in a coastal bay: Otsuchi Bay,Sanriku, Japan     

Matheus Carvalho de Carvalho  Ken-ichi Hayashizaki  Hisao Ogawa 《Journal of Oceanography》2008,64(5):705-712

Through 2004 and 2005, δ ³⁴S of sinking material from Otsuchi Bay was measured at the center and rocky shore of the bay. At the center of the bay δ ³⁴S was high (18∼21‰) in the material collected from April to November. However, δ ³⁴S was low (9∼14‰) in the material collected from December to March. The increase in δ ³⁴S in April was attributed to an increase in phytoplankton biomass because marine phytoplanktonic δ ³⁴S is high. When δ ³⁴S of sinking material was low, input of riverine material or bottom sediment resuspension were considered as the probable causes, because their δ ³⁴S is low. Marine sulfur was always high (more than 70%) at both stations. The difference between the δ ³⁴S of sinking material collected from the different sampling stations indicates that marine macroalgae contribute to sinking material near the shore when phytoplankton is scarce. In conclusion, the relative influence of different material sources to sinking materials could be successfully estimated using δ ³⁴S.  相似文献

海底浅层圈闭与浅层气地震反射特征对比   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

顾兆峰  张志珣  刘怀山 《海洋地质与第四纪地质》2009,(3)

海底浅层圈闭条件是决定浅层气反射特征的重要因素,根据海底浅层圈闭条件的分析、国内外浅层气分布区反射特征与底质类型对比分析和南黄海西部地区浅部断层分析,得出结论:(1)浅层气的圈闭条件主要受海底底质类型与浅部断层控制,常见圈闭类型为岩性圈闭和断层圈闭;(2)底质类型是决定浅层气反射特征的重要因素。分析认为海底表层沉积物的泥砂含量决定了圈闭中盖层封闭能力,进而决定了浅层气聚集能力和储集量,形成不同浅层气地震反射特征;(3)某些现代三角洲地区,受潮流或河流与海洋共同作用影响,表层底质经常与整个浅层的物质组成差别较大。由于其内部一般含有较厚的细颗粒黏土质粉砂和粉砂质黏土,封闭能力较强,可封闭较多浅层气,能形成大规模的声学空白反射,但常观察到浅层气反射顶界面局部突起呈旗舰状;(4)浅部断层既可形成断层圈闭,也可充当浅层气的运移通道。断层圈闭通常较少见且难以识别,浅部断层在第四纪松散地层中更多地充当了浅层气运移的通道;(5)浅部地层存在多套含泥较多的地层且形成圈闭时,浅层气被多次圈闭,会在不同深度形成"楼层式"的多个强反射界面、声学扰动。  相似文献   

Application of sediment traps in global change research in mountain lakes     

G. R. KATTEL 《山地科学学报》2009,6(3):228-239

Representativity of biota in the biosphere also have similar significance in the lithosphere after their death. Recently, taphonomic representation of biota in the lithosphere has been widely used for minimizing the biases in palaeo-environmental reconstructions including global climate change. In September 2001, a sediment trap was installed at the central area of the Loch Coire Fionnaraich （LCFR）, a small, oligotrophic mountain loch in northwest Scotland for a taphonomic study of cladoceran zooplankton. The trap was emptied on a seasonal basis, where an average 0.14 g dry material was recovered in each season, January, May and August 2002 respectively. A sediment core was also taken from near the sediment trap location. The top 0.5 cm section, the ＇core＇ was used for a comparative study with the trap sediment samples. The planktonic Cladocera consisted of Bosmina coregoni and appeared to have excellent preservation in the trap assemblages. Moreover, some common littoral Cladocera such as Alonella excisa and Aloha guttata appear to be less well preserved in the fossil assemblages. Large littoral taxa such as Eurycercus lamellatus and Aloha quadrangularis were rare in the trap but relatively common and well preserved in the sediment-water interface. It is suggested that taphonomic processes play a dominant role on deposition of fossil remains of Cladocera and caution should be taken while inferring the past environmental changes whilst using fossil assemblages recovered from the lake centre as a representation of the entire cladoceran community in the lake.  相似文献
