The sedimentary diatom records of three shallow lakes in the Altai Mountains, southern Siberia, were examined to assess the nature and timing of Holocene environmental changes. Few paleoenvironmental records, especially reconstructions not based on pollen, have been reported from this region. The lakes differ in elevation, annual precipitation, and catchment vegetation. Diatom assemblages in all lakes were dominated for the entire period of record by small benthic species of Pseudostaurosira Williams & Round, Staurosira Ehrenberg, and Staurosirella Williams & Round. Planktonic taxa only occur in very low abundances (<5%). The most diverse diatom flora was found in Dzhangyskol, which is situated at the lowest elevation within a forested catchment. A lack of detailed information on the ecological preferences of the dominant taxa and the complexity of environmental drivers make direct interpretation of the diatom record difficult. However, other proxies suggest that dramatic shifts in dominance between Staurosira elliptica and Staurosirella pinnata in Grusha Ozero reflect millennial-scale variability in climate. Together, chironomids and diatoms provide evidence of a cooling possibly correlative to the Younger Dryas Stade and subsequent early-Holocene warming consistent with pollen evidence of afforestation, which also is likely linked to increased humidity. By ~6000 cal year BP, the transition to a cooler, more continental climate had begun. The diatom record of Akkol shows significantly less variation in diatom community composition, but biogenic silica accumulation rates, a proxy for diatom productivity, appear to reflect climatic variability driven by insolation trends over the past 8000 years. Long-term variability in Dzhangyskol is not clearly linked to climate.  相似文献   

Methodologies for amorphous silica analysis   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

L. Saccone  D.J. Conley  D. Sauer   《Journal of Geochemical Exploration》2006,88(1-3):235

Different methodologies have been investigated for their ability to extract amorphous silica (ASi) from soils and plant phytoliths. Methodologies typically used in soil science, including oxalate, acetate and citric extractions, were used in addition to an alkaline digestion technique commonly used in the aquatic sciences. Initial results show that the alkaline technique extracts nearly an order of magnitude greater amount of ASi. The alkaline extraction technique was tested on soil samples with and without acid and peroxide pre-cleaning. Samples, which were not pre-cleaned, showed a poor extraction efficiency of amorphous silica and poor reproducibility, while cleaned soil samples gave better reproducibility and an increase in the amount of Si extracted.  相似文献   

Technical Note Reactive silica and strength of fly ashes     

P.V. Sivapullaiah  J.P. Prashanth  A. Sridharan  B.V. Narayana 《Geotechnical and Geological Engineering》1998,16(3):239-250

The use of fly ash in geotechnical engineering depends greatly on its pozzolanic reactivity. Though many factors influence the reactivity of fly ash it is well recognized that reactive silica and lime content play a major role. A new, accurate and reliable method for the determination of reactive silica content of fly ash has been established. The reactive silica content, obtained as acid soluble silica in about 2 to 3 N hydrochloric acid, is found to correlate well with unconfined compressive strength of fly ashes. The reactive silica content of fly ash is also important in the stabilization of soils using fly ash. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998  相似文献

Time dependence of organic matter decay and mixing processes in Framvaren, a permanently anoxic fjord in South Norway     

David W. Dyrssen  Per O. J. Hall  Conny Haraldsson  Melissa Chierici  Jens M. Skei  H. Göte östlund 《Aquatic Geochemistry》1996,2(2):111-129

Three different layers have been identified in Framvaren, which has a maximum water depth of 184 m. One oxic layer above the redoxcline at 18–20 m. One anoxic layer from 20 to 100 m which is occasionally ventilated by a flow over the sill (which has a depth of 2.5 m), and finally a stagnant layer below 100 m. Using the release rate of silica from the bottom and measurements of the concentration of HTO it is possible to make some calculations on the annual volume of interleaving in the layers 25–50 m, 50–75 m, and 75–100 m together with the advective flows. Reliable values of the sulfide concentration were obtained by precipitating and weighing HgS together with careful protection of all anoxic water samples with argon. The light yellow color of the precipitate in the depth range 25 to 80 m indicates that the occasional ventilation will cause such reactions as 0.50₂ + H₂S S(colloidal) + H₂O. The elemental sulfur, being stabilized with HS^–, is set free upon the precipitation of HgS. The new data for the concentration of sulfide give an acceptable stoichiometry for the decay reaction of organic matter. This is not the case with the data of Yao and Millero. The mean values for the concentrations of ammonium and phosphate agree with the new data of Yao and Millero. The mol/mol C/N ratio of 10.1 found in trapped material by Naess and coworkers (1988) agrees with the stoichiometry of the dissolved constituents, i.e. C/N = 9.92 ± 0.45. A denitrification reaction is suggested to explain the high values of C/N. The vertical diffusion coefficient at 100 m calculated from the depth profile of silica was 0.92 × 10^–6 m² s^–1 which lies in the range of values given by Fröyland. Finally, the ¹⁴C age of the total dissolved inorganic carbon (Ct) in the water below 90 m was about 1600 years indicating a bioproduction in the period 8000 years B.P. to A.D. 1853 when a channel was opened between the fjord outside (Helvikfjord) and Framvaren.  相似文献   

Chemistry of high mountain lakes in siliceous chatchments of the Central Eastern Alps     

Roland Psenner 《Aquatic Sciences - Research Across Boundaries》1989,51(2):108-128

Alpine lakes in siliceous catchments of Tyrol and Carinthia (Austria) show signs of acidification. About 9% of the studied lakes have no alkalinity, more than 20% are below pH 6. About two thirds of all lakes have acid neutralizing capacities below 100 eq 1^–1. In spite of moderate precipitation acidity, some lakes show considerable concentrations of dissolved reactive aluminum during or shortly after snowmelt. High altitude lakes of the Alps are definitely more acidic than high mountain lakes in remote areas. Large differences in water and soil chemistry of nearby situated lakes were attributed to heterogeneities of bedrock geology. Paleolimnological investigations on former pH values of five lakes, based on diatom assemblages in the sediment, showed different developments: recent and past acidification, stable conditions, and alkalinization.  相似文献   

Carbonate alteration of the Upper Mount McRae Shale beneath the martite-microplaty hematite ore deposit at Mount Whaleback, Western Australia     

Adam D. Webb  Gerald R. Dickens  Nicholas H. S. Oliver 《Mineralium Deposita》2004,39(5-6):632-645

The formation of large martite-microplaty hematite ore deposits in northwest Australia remains a contentious topic in part because important evidence supporting a unifying genetic model has not been observed at all deposits. Carbonate replacement of silica has been found along normal faults below ore at the Mount Tom Price and Giles Mini deposits, which suggests an early hypogene process during ore formation. However, such rocks have not been identified at the largest martite-microplaty hematite deposit, Mount Whaleback. In this study, samples of the Mount McRae Shale are examined for their chemistry, mineralogy and petrography. These samples were collected from several key locations, including an area that immediately underlies ore along the Mount Whaleback fault at Mount Whaleback. Compared to unaltered black Mount McRae Shale from Wittenoom Gorge in the north and altered black and red Mount McRae Shale at Mount Whaleback, reddish-green Mount McRae Shale along the Mount Whaleback fault is greatly enriched in MgO and CaO and depleted in SiO₂. This chemistry arises from significant amounts of fine- to medium-grained ferroan-dolomite and ankerite and cross-cutting chlorite and carbonate veins. The composition is distinct from that produced during regional metamorphism, and most likely represents hydrothermal alteration after metamorphism. The lack of carbonate-rich, silica-poor rocks in the overlying Dales Gorge Member at Mount Whaleback is consistent with pervasive oxidation of most rocks in the region during or after ore genesis, a process that removed carbonates. Although several questions remain unanswered, these results support models that invoke an early hypogene stage during the formation of the martite-microplaty hematite deposits in the Hamersley Province.Editorial Handling: B.

方石英的亚稳态形成机制探讨   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

肖万生  陈晋阳  彭文世  翁克难 《矿物岩石》2003,23(4):5-10

方石英形成于石英或鳞石英热力学稳定区是一种普遍的现象，并基本上是由非晶态SiO2转变而成。方石英的这种亚稳态形成机制可用Ostwald分步规则这一动力学经验规律来阐述；而引起非晶态SiO2转变成方石英的速率常数大大高于方石英转变成石英或鳞石英的速率常数的本质是非晶态SiO2局部中程有序结构与β—方石英的动态无序结构的相似性；这种相似性使非晶态SiO2结晶过程中β—方石英的有效成核速率大大增加，并最终导致亚稳态方石英的形成。非晶态SiO2中所含的杂质元素有利于降低方石英的形成温度，加速反应进程，但对于亚稳态方石英的形成没有决定作用，除非这些杂质元素有利于方石英结构的稳定性。  相似文献
