The Samchampi-Samteran alkaline igneous complex (SAC) is a near circular, plug-like body approximately 12 km² area and is emplaced into the Precambrian gneissic terrain of the Karbi Anglong district of Assam. The host rocks, which are exposed in immediate vicinity of the intrusion, comprise granite gneiss, migmatite, granodiorite, amphibolite, pegmatite and quartz veins. The SAC is composed of a wide variety of lithologies identified as syenitic fenite, magnetite ± perovskite ± apatite rock, alkali pyroxenite, ijolite-melteigite, carbonatite, nepheline syenite with leucocratic and mesocratic variants, phonolite, volcanic tuff, phosphatic rock and chert breccia. The magnetite ± perovskite ± apatite rock was generated as a cumulus phase owing to the partitioning of Ti, Fe at a shallow level magma chamber (not evolved DI = O1). The highly alkaline hydrous fluid activity indicated by the presence of strongly alkalic minerals in carbonatites and associated alkaline rocks suggests that the composition of original melt was more alkalic than those now found and represent a silica undersaturated ultramafic rock of carbonated olivine-poor nephelinite which splits with falling temperature into two immiscible fractions—one ultimately crystallises as alkali pyroxenite/ijolite and the other as carbonatite. The spatial distribution of varied lithotypes of SAC and their genetic relationships suggests that the silicate and carbonate melts, produced through liquid immiscibility, during ascent generated into an array of lithotypes and also reaction with the country rocks by alkali emanations produced fenitic aureoles (nephelinisation process). Isotopic studies (δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C) on carbonatites of Samchampi have indicated that the δ¹³C of the source magma is related to contamination from recycled carbon.  相似文献   

AN E – ε – ℓ TURBULENCE CLOSURE SCHEME FOR PLANETARY BOUNDARY-LAYER MODELS: THE NEUTRALLY STRATIFIED CASE     

DAPENG XU  PETER A. TAYLOR 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1997,84(2):247-266

The standard E – model generates aplanetary boundary layerthat appears to be much too deep. The cause of theproblem is traced to the equation for the dissipationrate () of turbulent kinetic energy (E), specifically theparameterization of dissipation production anddestruction. In the context of atmosphericboundary-layer modelling, we argue that a part of thedissipation production should be modelled as the inputto the spectral cascade from the energy-containingpart of the spectrum, with a characteristic length , while the equilibrium imbalancebetween local production and destruction ofdissipation is modelled as proportional toE2/E, as in the standard model. Wepropose an E – – turbulence closurescheme, in which both the mixing length, m, and are prescribed. The importance ofthe equation is diminished, though itstill determines the dissipation rate in the Eequation.  相似文献   

Quaternary changes in delivery and accumulation of organic matter in sediments of Lake Biwa, Japan     

Philip A. Meyers  Keiji Takemura 《Journal of Paleolimnology》1997,18(3):211-218

A 911-m-long sediment core from Lake Biwa, Japan, provides a record of organic matter delivery and accumulation in this large lake during a succession of tectonic and climatic changes dating back to the latest Pliocene. Sediments deposited since 430 ky are profundal; older sediments vary in setting between shallow-water and fluviodeltaic conditions, with occasional deep-water intervals. C/N ratios identify algal production as the dominant source of organic matter throughout the core, although the proportion of land-derived contributions episodically increases in the fluviodeltaic and shallow-water sediments. Rates of organic matter delivery and burial in lake sediments change in response to glacial-interglacial climate changes over the past 430 ky. Sediments deposited during interglacial intervals have organic carbon mass accumulation rates up to 9 times greater than those from glacial intervals, reflecting interglacial climates that were wetter than glacial climates. Algal production of organic matter increased during interglacial times because of greater wash-in of soil nutrients, and organic matter preservation was enhanced because of faster sedimentation rates.  相似文献

土壤碳同位素可以反映生长植被的同位素组成,从而进一步反映当时的植被类型以及气候环境状况。已有的研究显示,不同地区碳同位素与气候因子的关系存在显著差异,因此在不同区域开展土壤碳同位素与气候因子之间相关性关系分析对古气候的重建至关重要。通过采集塔里木盆地西缘帕米尔地区和盆地南缘和田地区策勒县的表土沉积物,分析测定后获得其有机碳同位素,并将该表土有机碳同位素数据与气候因子进行相关性分析,以探明研究区有机碳同位素组成特征及其潜在的气候意义。结果表明：帕米尔地区和策勒地区的表土碳同位素变化对气候因子的响应存在明显差异。气温方面,帕米尔地区与气温呈正相关,其中与冷季气温相关性最好（r=0.598,P<0.01）;策勒地区与气温呈负相关,其中与暖季气温相关性最好（r=-0.684,P<0.01）。降水方面,帕米尔地区与降水量的相关性不显著;策勒地区与年均降水量呈弱负相关,与暖季降水量呈弱正相关,与冷季降水量呈显著的负相关关系（r=-0.632,P<0.01）。上述分析表明基于沉积物有机碳同位素来重建古气候时应充分考虑区域差异的影响。  相似文献   

泥炭记录的帕米尔高原晚全新世温度变化研究     

王馨  冉敏  杨运鹏  琚立 《地理科学进展》2022,41(8):1467-1477

近年来,“全新世温度谜题”已经受到全球古气候学者的广泛关注,为了解决这一谜题,需要在全球不同区域进行更多的全新世温度重建。帕米尔高原位于亚洲内陆核心区域,目前有关帕米尔高原全新世气候变化的研究相对较少,且已有的研究主要集中于相对湿度(或降水)变化的研究,而涉及温度变化的成果则相对较少。论文首先研究了表土碳同位素与气候因子之间的相关关系,结果显示帕米尔高原的δ¹³C_org与温度正相关;进一步在7个AMS ¹⁴C测年数据的支持之下,基于175个泥炭δ¹³C_α-cellulose分析,重建了帕米尔高原过去约5000 a的温度变化历史。结果发现：帕米尔高原晚全新世以来整体呈现波动升温趋势,约5000~3600 cal a BP阶段处于缓慢降温期;约3600~200 cal a BP处于波动升温期;驱动机制分析显示,约3600 cal a BP之前温度下降主要是夏季太阳辐射下降导致的,约3600 cal a BP之后温度上升是由温室气体辐射强迫增强导致的。  相似文献

基于中国第29次南极科学考察在普里兹湾海域采集的61个站位的表层悬浮体样品的颗粒有机碳(POC)及其稳定同位素(δ13CPOC)测试结果,结合卫星遥感解译的研究区海水表面温度(SST)、叶绿素a(Chl a)浓度和海冰覆盖率数据,研究了普里兹湾海域表层水体悬浮POC的分布特征,探讨了悬浮体中POC的来源及其形成过程。结果表明,2013年夏季普里兹湾表层悬浮POC浓度为0.28—0.84 mg·L-1,平均浓度为0.48 mg·L-1;δ13CPOC值的变化范围为-29.68‰—-26.30‰,平均值为-28.01‰。表层水体悬浮POC分布呈现近岸高于远岸,西部高于东部的特征。POC的高值区主要分布在冰架附近,与表层水体Chl a浓度和海冰覆盖率分布趋势基本一致,表明夏季普里兹湾表层水体悬浮POC主要由浮游植物现场生产,而浮游植物的生长受到了海冰的显著影响。在普里兹湾外部海域表层水体悬浮颗粒物δ13CPOC值从东向西逐渐偏负,而调查区东部从近岸向远海逐渐偏负,反映该海域δ13CPOC分布特征主要受到浮游植物吸收与固定CO2速率的影响。中山站附近海域δ13CPOC值显著偏负,可能是受到近岸海域陆源有机质输入和浮游生物种属改变的影响。  相似文献   

Bulk organic δC and C/N as indicators for sediment sources in the Pearl River delta and estuary,southern China

Preservation of organic matter in estuarine and coastal areas is an important process in the global carbon cycle. This paper presents bulk δ¹³C and C/N of organic matter from source to sink in the Pearl River catchment, delta and estuary, and discusses the applicability of δ¹³C and C/N as indicators for sources of organic matter in deltaic and estuarine sediments. In addition to the 91 surface sediment samples, other materials collected in this study cover the main sources of organic material to estuarine sediment. These are: terrestrial organic matter (TOM), including plants and soil samples from the catchment; estuarine and marine suspended particulate organic carbon (POC) from both summer and winter. Results show that the average δ¹³C of estuarine surface sediment increases from −25.0 ± 1.3‰ in the freshwater environment to −21.0 ± 0.2‰ in the marine environment, with C/N decreasing from 15.2 ± 3.3 to 6.8 ± 0.2. In the source areas, C₃ plants have lower δ¹³C than C₄ plants (−29.0 ± 1.8‰ and −13.1 ± 0.5‰ respectively). δ¹³C increases from −28.3 ± 0.8‰ in the forest soil to around −24.1‰ in both riverbank soil and mangrove soil due to increasing proportion of C₄ grasses. The δ¹³C_POC increases from −27.6 ± 0.8‰ in the freshwater areas to −22.4 ± 0.5‰ in the marine-brackish-water areas in winter, and ranges between −24.0‰ in freshwater areas and −25.4‰ in brackish-water areas in summer. Comparison of the δ¹³C and C/N between the sources and sink indicates a weakening TOM and freshwater POC input in the surface sedimentary organic matter seawards, and a strengthening contribution from the marine organic matter. Thus we suggest that bulk organic δ¹³C and C/N analysis can be used to indicate sources of sedimentary organic matter in estuarine environments. Organic carbon in surface sediments derived from anthropogenic sources such as human waste and organic pollutants from industrial and agricultural activities accounts for less than 10% of the total organic carbon (TOC). Although results also indicate elevated δ¹³C of sedimentary organic matter due to some agricultural products such as sugarcane, C₃ plants are still the dominant vegetation type in this area, and the bulk organic δ¹³C and C/N is still an effective indicator for sources of organic matter in estuarine sediments.  相似文献   

Lignin phenols used to infer organic matter sources to Sepetiba Bay – RJ,Brasil     

C.E. Rezende  W.C. Pfeiffer  L.A. Martinelli  E. Tsamakis  J.I. Hedges  R.G. Keil 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2010

Lignin phenols were measured in the sediments of Sepitiba Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and in bedload sediments and suspended sediments of the four major fluvial inputs to the bay; São Francisco and Guandu Channels and the Guarda and Cação Rivers. Fluvial suspended lignin yields (Σ8 3.5–14.6 mgC 10 g dw⁻¹) vary little between the wet and dry seasons and are poorly correlated with fluvial chlorophyll concentrations (0.8–50.2 μgC L⁻¹). Despite current land use practices that favor grassland agriculture or industrial uses, fluvial lignin compositions are dominated by a degraded leaf-sourced material. The exception is the Guarda River, which has a slight influence from grasses. The Lignin Phenol Vegetation Index, coupled with acid/aldehyde and 3.5 Db/V ratios, indicate that degraded leaf-derived phenols are also the primary preserved lignin component in the bay. The presence of fringe Typha sp. and Spartina sp. grass beds surrounding portions of the Bay are not reflected in the lignin signature. Instead, lignin entering the bay appears to reflect the erosion of soils containing a degraded signature from the former Atlantic rain forest that once dominated the watershed, instead of containing a significant signature derived from current agricultural uses. A three-component mixing model using the LPVI, atomic N:C ratios, and stable carbon isotopes (which range between –26.8 and –21.8‰) supports the hypothesis that fluvial inputs to the bay are dominated by planktonic matter (78% of the input), with lignin dominated by leaf (14% of the input) over grass (6%). Sediments are composed of a roughly 50–50 mixture of autochthonous material and terrigenous material, with lignin being primarily sourced from leaf.  相似文献   

Predation by jellyfish on large and emergent zooplankton: Implications for benthic–pelagic coupling   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Kylie A. Pitt  Anne-Laure Clement  Rod M. Connolly  Delphine Thibault-Botha   《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2008,76(4):827-833

Stable carbon isotopes were used to determine the contribution of emergent demersal zooplankton to the diet of the scyphozoan jellyfish Catostylus mosaicus at Smiths Lake, New South Wales, Australia. A preliminary study in 2004 indicated that there was no difference in the δ¹³C of ectodermal tissue and mesoglea of the medusae. In 2005, medusae and zooplankton present during the day and night were sampled and isotopic signatures were modelled using IsoSource. Modelling indicated that: (1) mollusc veligers and copepods sampled during the day contributed <13% of the carbon to the jellyfish; (2) copepods sampled at night contributed up to 25%; and (3) the large, emergent decapod Lucifer sp. contributed 88–94%. We hypothesised, therefore, that medusae derive most of their carbon from emergent species of zooplankton. In 2006, sampling done in 2005 was repeated three times over a period of 4 weeks to measure short-term temporal variation in isotopic signatures of medusae and zooplankton, and emergent demersal zooplankton was specifically sampled using emergence traps. Short-term temporal variation in isotopic signatures was observed for some taxa, however, actual variations were small (<1.5‰) and the values of medusae and zooplankton remained consistent relative to each other. IsoSource modelling revealed that mysid shrimp and emergent copepods together contributed 79–100% of the carbon to the jellyfish, and that the maximum possible contribution of daytime copepods and molluscs was only 22%. Jellyfish apparently derive most of their carbon from emergent zooplankton and by capturing small numbers of relatively large taxa, such as Lucifer sp. or mysid shrimp. Small but abundantly captured zooplankton (such as mollusc veligers) contribute only minor amounts of carbon. Jellyfish have a major role in the transfer of carbon between benthic and pelagic food webs in coastal systems.  相似文献

何磊  王超  别强  赵传燕 《中国沙漠》2013,33(1):46-52

使用MODIS MOD13Q1-NDVI数据,通过NDVI累计计算,得到肯尼亚2001年和2010年植被生长状况较好时期的NDVI影像.基于像元二分模型,估算植被盖度.利用植被盖度进行荒漠化评价.结果表明,肯尼亚近10年来生态环境总体趋于改善,荒漠化发展态势并不明显,但荒漠化问题仍然严重.不同程度的荒漠化土地变化趋势不尽相同,轻度荒漠化和重度荒漠化转出面积大于转入面积,呈现减少趋势,非荒漠化和中度荒漠化变化相反,各省区的荒漠化土地变化趋势也不相同.在小范围地区内,使用Landsat-5 TM影像进行验证,发现与MODIS数据评价结果相似,但更能详尽的描述重点区域的荒漠化问题.  相似文献
