正构烷烃组成的古环境指示:以中全新世以来珠江口沉积物研究为例
Paleoenvironmental indication of n-alkanes composition: A case study of sediments from the Pearl River Estuary since the mid-Holocene
该文分析了珠江口沉积物柱状样HKUV16中正构烷烃的长链奇碳烷烃含量(∑oddC25~33)、碳优势指数(CPI)、平均链长(ACL)、C31/C27和海洋水生植物比重(Pmar-aq),探讨了中全新世以来正构烷烃来源变化及对珠江流域环境变迁的指示。HKUV16的长链正构烷烃特征指示其主要来自陆源高等植物。在8.0~7.0 ka BP期间,∑oddC25~33、CPI值和Pmar-aq值增加,ACL和C31/C27为低值,指示该时期陆源有机质输入增加,木本植物占比大,珠江流域气候湿润。在7.0~3.2 ka BP期间,∑oddC25~33降低,表明陆源有机质输入减少,而ACL和C31/C27呈增—减—增的变化趋势,指示珠江流域可能经历了干旱—湿润—干旱的气候变化。3.2~2.2 ka BP,ACL、C31/C27的高值显示此时草本植物占比明显增大,可能意味着该时期的气候较为干旱。多指标综合显示2.2 ka BP之前珠江口沉积物的正构烷烃变化主要受夏季风的影响,而2.2 ka BP以来不断增强的人类活动可能成为影响珠江流域生态环境的主导因素。
The multiple indices of n-alkanes including ∑oddC25-33, CPI, ACL, C31/C27 and Pmar-aq from a sediment core HKUV16 retrieved in the Pearl River Estuary were analyzed to explore their sources and environmental changes since the mid-Holocene. The distribution features of n-alkanes of core HKUV16 indicated that they were mainly from terrestrial higher vegetation. From 8.0 to 7.0 ka BP, ∑oddC25-33, CPI, and Pmar-aq increased, while ACL and C31/C27 were low, which showed that terrestrial organic matter input increased and woody vegetation increased. The decrease of ∑oddC25-33 during 7.0~3.2 ka BP indicated that the input of terrestrial organic matter decreased, while the ACL and C31/C27 showed an increase-decrease-increase trend, suggesting that the Pearl River Basin might have experienced dry-wet-dry climate change. From 3.2 to 2.2 ka BP, high ACL and C31/C27 indicated that herbaceous plants expanded and the climate was relatively arid. The multi-indices showed that the input of n-alkanes to the Pearl River Estuary before 2.2 ka BP was mainly affected by East Asian summer monsoon. However, increasing human activities since 2.2 ka BP might have become the dominant factor for the ecological environment of the Pearl River Basin.

<p>Gas chromatography of n-alkanes in the surface sediments appears as double peaks in the Chukchi and the Bering Sea. The high carbon peak is at MH nC_~25 —nC_~33 and the low carbon peak locates at MH nC_~16 —nC_~20 in the Chukchi Sea. The high carbon peak is at MH nC_~25 —nC_~27 and the low carbon peak locates at nC_~17 —nC_~22 in the Bering Sea. OEP are 0.9—3.81 and 0.409—3.26, the ratio of C-_~23 /C+_~24 are between 0.18—1.53 and 0.40—2.57; the ratio of TAB_~HC are 0.57—11.35 and 0.32—5.97 respectively. The results suggest that the substance input from terrigenous origin in the Chukchi Sea is larger than that in the Bering Sea. But the productivity in the surface water in the Bering Sea is higher than that in the Chukchi Sea. The composition characteristics of n-alkanes in the modern sediments of the Arctic is compared with that in the Antarctic as well as with that in the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, The East China Sea and the South China Sea. The results indicate that the characteristics of terrigenous origin become weaker while marine biological inputs appear stronger from high to low latitudes. The discrepancy of composition characteristics of n-alkanes in different sea areas have been contributed by the process of sedimentation that influenced by environments and climates.</p>

A 5-year-resolution absolute-dated oxygen isotope record from Dongge Cave, southern China, provides a continuous history of the Asian monsoon over the past 9000 years. Although the record broadly follows summer insolation, it is punctuated by eight weak monsoon events lasting approximately 1 to 5 centuries. One correlates with the "8200-year" event, another with the collapse of the Chinese Neolithic culture, and most with North Atlantic ice-rafting events. Cross-correlation of the decadal- to centennial-scale monsoon record with the atmospheric carbon-14 record shows that some, but not all, of the monsoon variability at these frequencies results from changes in solar output.

The external surface of the higher plants comprises a cuticular layer covered by a waxy deposit. This deposit is believed to play a major part in such phenomena as the water balance of plants and the behavior of agricultural sprays. The wax contains a wide range of organic compounds. These complex mixtures are amenable to modern microchromatographic and microspectrometric analytical procedures. The few surveys which have been made of the species distribution of certain classes of constituents indicate that such distribution may be of limited taxonomic value; however, the wax composition of a species may differ for different parts of the same plant and may vary with season, locale, and the age of the plant. This fascinating subject, in which the disciplines of botany, biochemistry, chemistry, and physics overlap and interact, is still in a very active state. Much remains to be learned about the composition and fine structure of the wax deposits, and, for this, experimental study of wax crystallization and permeation through artificial membranes will be required. Enzymic studies, radiolabeling, and electron microscopy will be needed to reveal the mode of biogenesis of the wax constituents and their site of formation and subsequent pathway through the cuticle to the leaf surface.

为了深入探讨珠江三角洲的沉积古环境和古气候历史,在三水市区获取了2个高取芯率的钻孔岩芯,进行了12个AMS 14C测年,并结合孢粉、硅藻等分析结果探讨三水地区全新世的海平面与河流水动力变化,以及古植被演替过程。结果表明:钻孔所在区域全新世沉积总体从9 000 cal. a B.P.左右开始,呈现河流相―河湾相―河口湾相―潮坪相―河口湾相―河漫滩相的演变过程。三水区的早全新世沉积阶段年代最早为9 000 cal. a B.P.左右,表现为河口湾相的淤泥质粉砂沉积,硅藻以淡水种类为主,最高沉积速率为1.6 cm/a。海侵初始时间为8 700 cal. a B.P.左右,最高海平面时间为7 600 cal. a B.P.左右,此时海岸带发育红树林,丘陵山地发育较茂盛的亚常绿热带常绿阔叶林;中―晚全新世阶段(6 500―2 200 cal. a B.P.),以泥炭粉砂沉积为主,沉积速率为0.2~0.5 cm/a,河口区高潮线附近及河流弯道低洼滩地在5 000 cal. a B.P.前后形成淡水沼泽、河口三角洲边缘区洼地水松林发育。在晚全新世(2 200 cal. a B.P.左右)以来,陆相黏土质沉积指示河口泥沙快速堆积,三角洲平原迅速扩大,沉积速率高达1.7 cm/a。孢粉结果显示次生的芒箕孢子剧增,陆地植被稀疏,人类活动显著增强。
