7.0Ma以来中国黄土粉尘源区的化学风化历史研究-Sr同位素比值的证据

To investigate the changes in the chemical weathering intensity of dust source region in Asia continent, ~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr ratios of acid-washed residues from the loess deposits in China and Tajikistan were analyzed, respectively. The results and conclusions are listed as below. 1. The oscillation of ~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr ratios of acid-insoluble residues in the Chinese Loess Plateau was mainly attributed to the chemical weathering intensity of the source region and the grain size. Counteracted the effect of particle size, the calibrated 87Sr/S6Sr ratio can be used as a proxy for the chemical weathering intensity of the source region. 2. The Sr/ Sr ratios of red clay-loess sequence from the Loess Plateau indicate that the chemical weathering intensity of the dust source region between 7.0 and 2.6 Ma is stronger than that in the Quaternary period. This also suggests a general decline in chemical weathering intensity of the source region from 2.6 Ma to the present. Such pattern is more remarkable since 1.0 Ma BP. 3. The ~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr ratios of the Tajik loess during 0.8-1.8 Ma is much more higher than those from 0.8 Ma to the present. This implies that the chemical weathering intensity of the source region in Central Asia is much stronger during 0.8-1.8 Ma than the period since 0.8 Ma. 4. The record of Sr isotope ratios from both sections shows an accelerating course of aridity of the Asian dust source region over the Quaternary period.

岱海岩芯沉积的粒度组成与湖区全新世降水变化历史

Sediment cores DH99a and DH99b recovered in the central part of Daihai Lake in north-central China were analysed at 2- to 4-crn intervals for grain-size distribution. Grain-size distributions of the lake sediments are inferred to be a proxy for past changes in East Asian monsoon precipitation, such that greater silt-size percentage and higher median grain size reflect increased monsoonal precipitation rates. The grain-size record of Daihai Lake sediments spanning the last ca 11,000 yr indicates that the monsoonal precipitation in the lake region can be divided into three stages: the Early, Middle and Late Holocene. During the Early Holocene before ca 7900 cal yr BP, the median grain size (Md) and the silt-fraction content were relatively low and constant, suggesting relatively low precipitation over the lake region. The Middle Holocene between ca 7900 and 3100 cal yr BP was marked by intensified and highly variable monsoonal precipitation, as indicated by high and variable Md values and silt contents of the lake sediments. During this period, average precipitation rate gradually increased from ca 7900 to 6900 cal yr BP, displayed intense oscillations between ca 6900 and 4400 cal yr BP, and exhibited a decreasing trend while fluctuating from ca 4400 to 3100 cal yr BP Although generally high during the Middle Holocene, both the Md and the silt content assumed distinctly low values at the short intervals of ca 6500-6400, 6000-5900, 5700-5600, 4400-4200 cal yr BP, implying that monsoonal precipitation might have been significantly reduced during these intervals. During the Late Holocene since ca 3100 cal yr BP, grain-size values suggest that precipitation decreased. However, during the Late Holocene, relatively higher Md values and silt contents occurring between ca 1700 to 1000 cal yr BP may denote an intensification of hydrological cycles in the lake area. Changes in the East Asian monsoonal precipitation were not only directly linked with the changing seasonality of solar insolation resulting from progressive changes in the Earth's orbital parameters, but also may have been closely related to variations in the temperature and size of the Western Pacific Warm Pool, in the intensity of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation, and in the path and strength of the North Equatorial Current in the western Pacific.

吉林金川西大甸子泥炭沉积中火山物质的发现及其意义附：泥炭中胡敏酸的稳定碳同位素值（δ<'13>C）作为古气候代用指标可行性研究

泥炭以发育广泛、连续沉积好、沉积速率大（可达1mm/a甚至更大）、记录丰富等特点,正成为过去全球变化研究的良好综合地质档案.参考冰芯、黄土、深海沉积物等中矿物固体的研究思路和方法,希望能对泥炭中可能存在的火山物质和其它风粉尘进行研究.在对吉林金川西大甸子泥炭样品的处理过程中,摸索出一套泥炭样品中固体物质（如火山物质）初步的处理、分析方法;并对金川西大甸子干玛珥泥炭沉积中部一段泥砂状物质进行鉴定,首次发现火山玻璃,判断这些泥砂物为火山灰砂.目前研究表明,泥炭纤维素的δ<'13>C序列能较好地反映古气候变化,那么泥炭中胡敏酸的δ<'13>C序列可否也能反映古气候变化,该文对此作了初步研究.用碱溶酸沉淀方法从泥炭中提取出所谓的胡敏酸,用燃烧法将胡敏酸、纤维素中的碳转化为CO<,2>气体,测定它们的稳定碳同位素组成（δ<'13>C）.与能较好地反映气候变化的纤维素δ<'13>C序列相比,胡敏酸的δ<'13>C序列反映气候变化不明显.
