Ecosystem response to climate change in high-altitude regions is a focus on global change research. Picea/Abies forests are widely distributed at high altitudes of East and Central Asia, and their distribution changes are sensitive to climate change. Humidity is an important climatic factor that affects high-altitude ecosystems; however, the relationship between distribution changes of Picea/Abies forests and millennial-scale variability of humidity is still not dear. Palynological records can provide insights into millennial-scale paleovegetation changes, which have been successfully used to reconstruct past climate change in East and Central Asia. In this study, we synthesized 24 Picea/Abies pollen and humidity/moisture changes based upon Holocene lake records in East and Central Asia in order to explore the response of high-latitude ecosystem to millennial-scale climate change. The changing pattern of Holocene lacustrine Picea/Abies pollen in arid Central Asia differs from that of monsoonal East Asia, which can be due to different millennial-scale climate change patterns between monsoonal and arid Central Asia. Then, the relationship between changes in Picea/Abies pollen and humidity/moisture conditions was examined based on a comparison of pollen and humidity/moisture records. The results indicate that millennial-scale Picea/Abies distribution changes aremainly controlled by moisture variability at high altitudes, while the temperature effect plays a minor role in Picea/Abies distribution changes. Moreover, this research proves that lacustrine Picea/Abies pollen can be used as an indicator of millennial-scale humidity/moisture evolution at high altitudes in East and Central Asia.  相似文献   

Historical mercury trends recorded in sediments from the Laguna del Plata,Córdoba,Argentina     

《Chemie der Erde / Geochemistry》2014,74(3):353-363

The main carrying phases of mercury (Hg) were analyzed in a 120 cm sediment core taken at the Laguna del Plata (LP), a small lake connected to the main water body of Laguna Mar Chiquita (LMC) during highstands. LMC is considered to be one of the largest saline lakes in the world representing a sensitive climatic indicator due to its frequent lake level variations at millennial and interdecadal scale like the last ones that started early in the 1970s and after 2004. Total particulate Hg (Hg_TP) concentrations vary between ∼13 and ∼131 μg kg⁻¹ indicating a system with low pollution. Selective extractions with ascorbate, HCl and H₂O₂ were performed in the sediments and they revealed that Hg is associated mainly to reactive sulphides in the base of the core, while in the middle and upper part the organic matter seems to be the main Hg-bearing phase. The highest and most important peak was found in sediments accumulated between 1991 and 1995. More than a punctual source of pollution, this peak is likely related to two eruptive events occurred in the Andean Cordillera in this period: the eruption of Hudson volcano in southern Patagonia that occurred in 1991 and the one of the Láscar volcano in northern Chile that occurred in 1993. In both cases, the respective ash plumes were documented to have reached the Laguna del Plata region.  相似文献

准噶尔盆地红山嘴地区三叠系克上组存在扇三角洲与辫状河三角洲这两类粗粒三角洲,其界定在油气沉积学领域一直备受关注,而基于岩相类型及其垂向组合特征的沉积作用研究,辅以砂体宏观展布规律将有助于这两类三角洲的判别。红山嘴地区克上组扇三角洲以发育各种交错层理砾岩相(Gi、Gt、Gp)与块状砾岩相(Gmm、Gcm、Gcs)为特点,而辫状河三角洲则发育各种砂岩相(St、Sp、Sm和Sh等);扇三角洲6种岩相组合显示其碎屑流与密度流沉积相对发育,韵律特征不明显,而辫状河三角洲的7种岩相组合均显示其牵引流沉积作用更为显著,且正韵律居多;坡度陡、物源足造就了扇三角洲“砂体发育而分布局限、切割叠置频繁”的沉积响应特点,辫状河三角洲则因坡度中等且物源供给弱而具有“砂体薄而广布、多为孤立式接触”的响应特点。  相似文献

本文基于中国首套长时间序列、高精度、高时空一致性的全球海洋气候数据集产品, 利用1993年1月至2015年12月的山东半岛近海海平面异常数据, 构建了基于集合经验模式分解(EEMD)和长短期记忆神经网络(LSTM)的海平面非线性变化组合预测模型。EEMD可以得到海平面异常的各周期项、线性趋势及残差部分, LSTM模型可对其进行逐个预测并重构得到最终的海平面异常预测结果。EEMD-LSTM组合模型海平面异常预测的均方根误差仅为25.87 mm, 取得了令人满意的效果。基于该组合模型预测2016-2025年山东半岛近海海平面上升速率将达到3.54 mm·a^-1。  相似文献
