梵净山世界自然遗产地全新世以来的古气候变化

全新世是距离人类最近的间冰期,其气候变化受到广大学者的关注。中国东亚季风区全新世以来的气候变化对于揭示全球气候变化的驱动机制、预测未来气候变化具有重要意义。本研究通过对地处西南季风与东南季风过渡区的贵州梵净山世界自然遗产地九龙池湿地冰蚀湖相沉积JL15柱芯样品剖面孢粉、烧失量、碳氮含量的分析,结合加速器质谱(AMS)14C测年结果,建立了该地区全新世以来的古环境演变序列。结果表明,梵净山地区全新世以来经历了冷干期、过渡期、暖湿期、暖干期和冷干期5个阶段,其中第Ⅲ阶段(8. 0～4. 6 cal ka BP)可能为全新世大暖期的鼎盛期。总体而言,全新世早中期由干冷转为暖湿,后期气候逐渐转为寒冷干燥,但存在变暖的趋势。JL15柱芯共记录了全新世以来5次较明显的降温事件:2. 6、3. 4、4. 2、9. 4和10. 0 cal ka BP,其中与北大西洋浮冰碎屑(IRD)事件有联系的是4. 2和9. 4 ka事件。与西南地区其他气候记录相似,梵净山JL15柱芯所反映的冷事件与IRD事件存在一定联系,但也存在差异性,这可能与全球气候变化驱动机制的复杂性有关,需要后续研究的进一步探讨。     

考古遗址所见成都平原史前洪水与治水

在系统梳理成都平原地区史前考古遗址中所见古洪水证据的基础上,对古洪水发生的规律及背景因素进行分析。现有证据表明：成都平原史前古洪水多发生在宝墩文化晚期及十二桥文化时期,且多集中在4.0 ka BP及3.0 ka BP两个时间节点前后,与长江、黄河流域古洪水记录具有同步性。一方面可能与成都平原地区的地理水文要素有关;另一方面,4.0 ka BP和3.0 ka BP前后古洪水记录增多可能与4.2 ka BP及2.8 ka BP全球性气候灾变事件有关。通过探讨古蜀先民治水思想及治水技术的发展,认为古蜀先民在与洪水作斗争的过程中治水技术和治水思想也在不断地发展和进步,古蜀文明不断发展的过程也是先民不断治水并总结经验的过程,其治水技术的进步和治水思想的提高最终成就了伟大的都江堰水利工程。     

川东北石笋记录的600 a前干旱事件

通过分析川东北狮子洞石笋SI2高分辨率稳定氧同位素组成（ δ¹⁸O）,重建了该地区过去~2 ka降水变化历史。SI2的 δ¹⁸O记录显示川东北地区在~600 a前出现过一次干旱事件,该事件在SI2的生长发育和碳酸盐沉积中也有显示。在川东北地区这一事件表现为三幕结构。该事件在我国中部地区的一些石笋记录中也有显示,也与历史文献记载一致;但在我国南方地区的古水文记录中没有明显显示。这一事件的成因还有待今后更加深入的研究。     

小兴安岭过去500O年的泥炭δ13C记录

小兴安岭植物体中δ13C不仅受区域湿度变化控制,也受温度变化控制.泥炭纤维素的δ13C曲线,较好地响应了小兴安岭地区过去5000年来气候,特别是温度和湿度的演变过程.5.1～3.0 ka BP、3.0～1.8 ka BP、1.8ka BP迄今,小兴安岭经历了3个千年尺度的气候波动,气候演变过程为温暖湿润→温凉较湿→冷凉较湿.在千年尺度的气候波动上,又叠加着百年尺度的气候变化,在3.0 kaBP以来更为显著.相应的,泥炭发育也经历了从富营养、中营养到贫营养阶段.     

重庆地区石笋δ13C记录的全新世气候环境变化

本文利用重庆市青木关镇狮子洞石笋QM09铀系测年数据和氧碳稳定同位素数据,重建了研究区9.4~0 ka BP的古气候环境演化历史。依据狮子洞石笋δ~(13)C记录变化趋势,将其划分为2个阶段:(1)9.4~3.0 ka BP期间,狮子洞石笋δ~(13)C记录除了在4.2 ka BP附近发生一次短暂的偏重事件外,整体变化比较平缓,石笋δ~(13)C值比较偏轻;同时石笋δ~(18)O值在该期也较为偏轻,暗示了此时段季风强盛,气候温暖湿润,地表植被变化稳定。此时人类活动比较弱,对自然环境的影响小,植被变化主要受自然气候环境的影响;(2)3.0~0 ka BP期间,石笋δ~(13)C记录不再呈现如第一阶段般平稳变动的趋势,在3.0 ka BP时开始波动下降,在经历1.7 ka BP大幅下降后,δ~(13)C便频繁波动大幅升降。石笋δ~(18)O记录显示该时段季风减弱,气候变干,植被退化,土壤水中溶解的CO_2含量减少。加之该期人类活动剧烈,地表自然植被遭到破坏,当地无机环境更多的参与到地下水循环体系中来,使得石笋δ~(13)C逐渐加重。     

河南马沟洞石笋记录的早中全新世气候和环境变化

基于河南省禹州市马沟洞2支石笋(MG-1与MG-40)24个~(230)Th年龄和1988个氧同位素数据,建立了研究区13.1—4.9 ka BP分辨率为2—14 a的石笋氧同位素时间序列。马沟洞石笋δ~(18)O的时间序列揭示季风降水在11.2—9.1 ka BP时段在波动中逐渐增加,9.1—4.9 ka BP季风降水显著波动但无明显长期趋势变化。YD事件、9.3 ka事件、8.2 ka事件记录与其他石笋δ~(18)O记录的一致性揭示末次冰消期—早全新世百年—千年尺度气候突变事件的大范围存在和共同的驱动因子。马沟洞全新世大暖期的δ~(18)O记录中检测出的13个数十年尺度的弱季风事件进一步证实全新世大暖期气候的不稳定性。与大气⊿~(14)C记录、NGRIP冰芯δ~(18)O记录的对比及周期分析揭示,太阳活动引起的太阳辐射变化和北半球高纬气候状况共同影响着亚洲季风的变化,ENSO活动及气候系统内部的相互作用也对东亚夏季风降水产生重要的影响。     

苏北盆地里下河地区30~15 cal ka BP期间地球化学元素变化特征及古气候意义

应用因子分析法对苏北盆地里下河地区SG剖面中的地化元素和氧化物进行分析,提取出相关古气候信息,重建了苏北盆地里下河地区30~15cal ka BP期间的古气候环境演化序列:30.3~26.0cal ka BP为相对暖湿期;26.0~17.8cal ka BP较为显著的冷干期;17.8~15.0cal ka BP以升温为主,冷暖波动剧烈,整体相对暖湿期;另外,在这些大的气候演变背景条件下,也存在着多次明显的气候波动事件。这一研究结果不仅与国内大量的研究资料相一致,而且与深海氧同位素和北半球太阳辐射等曲线也有着很好的对应,表明苏北地区的气候变化具有全球性特征。     

威海地区中全新世聚落遗址时空分布及驱动因素

本文通过ArcMap软件对威海地区中全新世聚落遗址的高程、坡度、坡向、濒河度等指标进行深入研究,分析该时期研究区的聚落遗址分布规律,结合中全新世研究区的环境变化背景,讨论威海地区中全新世聚落遗址时空分布及驱动因素.研究表明:(1)威海地区中全新世聚落遗址文化序列为后李文化 — 大汶口文化 — 龙山文化 — 岳石文化,与山东新石器文化序列相比缺少北辛文化,遗址数量随时间推移大致呈先增后减再增的右倾斜"N"型.(2)威海地区中全新世聚落遗址在高程、坡度、坡向及濒河度等存在一定的规律性.聚落遗址多集中分布于高程>30 m坡度在0° —4°的平缓地区,从坡向上看,聚落遗址大多分布在东南、南、西南方向的阳坡,占遗址总数的58.1％,从濒河度上看,聚落遗址都在距河流<1.5 km的范围.(3)威海地区在中全新世前期开始出现人类活动(后李文化,8.5—7.5 ka BP),随着中全新世大暖期的到来,气候总体进入温暖期,整体较为温和,优越的自然条件促进了大汶口文化(6.3—4.6 ka BP),发生在5.0—4.0 ka BP的海侵事件可能是导致大汶口文化衰减的主要原因,并限制了后期龙山文化(4.6—4.0 ka BP)的发展,与其他研究不同的是,尽管4.0 ka BP以后,气候开始恶化,但是海平面下降为威海地区人类发展提供了更为宽阔的空间和肥沃的土壤,而且古河道为古人类生存和生活提供了坚实的保障,由此优越的自然条件促进了岳石文化(4.0—3.5 ka BP)的发展.     

铜川地区11.4～1.5 ka B.P.期间黄土地球化学风化特征及其古气候意义

通过对铜川剖面黄土-古土壤地层中常量元素和微量元素的地球化学特征进行分析,结合AMS-~(14)C年代学数据,利用Na/K值、CIA(化学风化指数)、A-CN-K三角图、Bc(退碱系数)、Ki(残积系数)、Rb/Sr值和Ba/Sr值等指标,探讨了该地区11.4～1.5 ka B.P.间黄土-古土壤地层的化学风化特征及其古气候意义。结果表明:(1)Na/K、CIA和A-CN-K三角图等分析指示铜川剖面11.4～1.5 ka B.P.间黄土-古土壤地层处于初等化学风化作用阶段。(2)Bc、Ki、CIA、Rb/Sr和Ba/Sr等指标的变化趋势同黄土-古土壤地层具有很好的对应性,较好的记录了铜川地区11.4～1.5 ka B.P.间的气候变化特征,可以将该地区的气候变化划分为4个阶段:11.4～10.2 ka B.P.气候寒冷干燥;10.2～9.1 ka B.P.温度逐渐上升,气候略温偏干;9.1～4.4 ka B.P.气候温暖湿润;4.4～1.5 ka B.P.气候逐渐转为冷干。(3)元素地球化学参数记录的铜川地区全新世最适宜期为9.1～6.0 ka B.P.,并且在6.0～5.0 ka B.P.期间存在次一级的气候恶化事件。     

河西走廊古遗址时空演变与环境变迁

河西走廊在史前和历史时期是欧亚大陆东西方文化交流的重要通道。近年来该区域考古调查、环境变化研究等方面取得明显进展,为研究局域地貌内遗址时空演变与环境变迁提供可能。通过整理河西走廊考古调查资料,应用文化分布界值、文化重心等方法综合分析该区古文化的时空演变过程,并应用GIS技术提取相应遗址点现今的环境(高程、河流、植被和沙地)信息,结合古人类生产生活方式推测该区古今环境变化及其原因,并分析了该区域古文化演变的驱动机制。结果显示:3.5 ka BP前,古文化主要由东南向西北方向扩散;3.5—3.0 ka BP古文化仅分布在河西东部地区;3.0—2.4 ka BP骟马文化和沙井文化重新分布在河西的东部和西部地区;约4.0 ka BP、3.6 ka BP和3.0 ka BP的极端气候使古遗址的高程分布发生显著变化,遗址点所在地的河流、植被、沙地均发生不同程度的变化。气候变化是河西走廊古文化时空演变的主要驱动力,欧亚大陆的文化交流、战争战乱和境外文化的传入也是其重要的影响因素。     

Effects of two sludge application on fractionation and phytotoxicity of zinc and copper in the soil

The potential harm of heavy metals is a primary concern in application of sludge to the agricultural land. A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of two sludges on fractionation of Zn and Cu in soil and their phytotoxicity to pakchoi. The loamy soil was mixed with 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% (by weight) of digested sewage sludge (SS) and composted sludge (SC). The additions of both sludges caused a significant raise in all fractions, resulting in that exchangeable (EXCH) and organic bound (OM) became predominance of Zn and organic bound Cu occupied the largest portion. There was more available amount of Zn and Cu in SS treatments than SC treatments. During the pot experiment, the concentration of Zn in EXCH, carbonate (CAR) and OM and Cu in EXCH and OM fractions decreased in all treatments, so their bioavailability reduced. Germination rate and plant biomass decreased when the addition rate was high and the best yield appeared in 20% mixtures at the harvest of pakchoi. The two sludges increased tissue contents of Zn and Cu especially in the SS treatments. Zn in pakchoi was not only in relationship to ΔEXCH and ΔCAR forms but also in ΔOM forms in the sludge-soil mixtures. Tissue content of Cu in pakchoi grown on SC-soils could not be predicted by ΔEXCH. These correlation rates between Zn and Cu accumulation in pakchoi and variation of different fractions increased with time, which might indicate that sludges represented stronger impacts on the plant in long-term land application.     

Intraspecific differences in effects of co-contamination of cadmium and

A hydroponic experiment was carried out to study intraspecific differences in the effects of different concentrations of cadmium (Cd)(0-10 mg/L) and arsenate (As(V)) (0-8 mg/L) on the growth parameters and accumulation of Cd and As in six wheat varieties Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11, Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8. The endpoints of wheat seedlings, including seed germination,biomass, root length and shoot height, decreased with increasing the Cd and As concentrations. Significant differences in seed germination, biomass, root length, shoot height and the accumulation of Cd and As were observed between the treatments and among the varieties (p ＜ 0.05). The lethal dosage 50% were about 20, 80, 60, 60, 80 and 20 mg As/L for Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11,Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8, respectively, and the corresponding values for Cd were about 30, 80, 20, 40, 60 and 10 mg Cd/L, respectively. Among the six varieties, Duokang-1 was found to be the most resistant to Cd and As toxicity, and Zhongmai-8 was the most sensitive to Cd and As co-contamination. The resistance of the six varieties was found dependant on the seedling uptake of Cd and As. Duokang-1 was the most suitable for cultivation in Cd and As co-contaminated soils.     

Toxic effects of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination on nifH gene in soil

Toxic effects of two agrochemicals on nifH gene in agricultural black soil were investigated using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE） and sequencing approaches in a microcosm experiment. Changes of soil nifH gene diversity and composition were examined following the application of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination. Acetochlor reduced the nifH gene diversity （both in gene richness and diversity index values） and caused changes in the nifH gene composition. The effects of acetochlor on nifH gene were strengthened as the concentration of acetochlor increased. Cluster analysis of DGGE banding patterns showed that nifH gene composition which had been affected by low concentration of acetochlor （50 mg/kg） recovered firstly. Methamidophos reduced nifH gene richness that except at 4 weeks. The medium concentration of methamidophos （150 mg/kg） caused the most apparent changes in nifH gene diversity at the first week while the high concentration of methamidophos （250 mg/kg） produced prominent effects on nifH gene diversity in the following weeks. Cluster analysis showed that minimal changes of nifH gene composition were found at 1 week and maximal changes at 4 weeks. Toxic effects of acetochlor and methamidophos combination on nifH gene were also apparent. Different nifH genes （bands） responded differently to the impact of agrochemicals： four individual bands were eliminated by the application of the agrochemicals, five bands became predominant by the stimulation of the agrochemicals, and four bands showed strong resistance to the influence of the agrochemicals. Fifteen prominent bands were partially sequenced, yielding 15 different nifH sequences, which were used for phylogenetic reconstructions. All sequences were affiliated with the alpha- and beta-proteobacteria, showing higher similarity to eight different diazotrophic genera.     

Arsenic uptake by arbuscular mycorrhizal maize （Zea mays L.） grown in an arsenic-contaminated soil with added phosphorus

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (Glomus mosseae) and phosphorus (P) addition (100 mg/kg soil) on arsenic (As) uptake by maize plants (Zea mays L.) from an As-contaminated soil were examined in a glasshouse experiment.Non-mycorrhizal and zero-P addition controls were included.Plant biomass and concentrations and uptake of As,P,and other nutrients,AM colonization,root lengths,and hyphal length densities were determined.The results indicated that addition of P significantly inhibited root colonization and development of extraradical mycelium.Root length and dry weight both increased markedly with mycorrhizal colonization under the zero-P treatments,but shoot and root biomass of AM plants was depressed by P application.AM fungal inoculation decreased shoot As concentrations when no P was added,and shoot and root As concentrations of AM plants increased 2.6 and 1.4 times with P addition,respectively.Shoot and root uptake of P,Mn,Cu,and Zn increased,but shoot Fe uptake decreased by 44.6%,with inoculation, when P was added.P addition reduced shoot P,Fe,Mn,Cu,and Zn uptake of AM plants,but increased root Fe and Mn uptake of the nonmycorrhizal ones.AM colonization therefore appeared to enhance plant tolerance to As in low P soil,and have some potential for the phytostabilization of As-contaminated soil,however,P application may introduce additional environmental risk by increasing soil As mobility.     

Degradation of metabolites accumulated of benzo[a]pyrene by coupling Penicillium Chrysogenum with KMnO4

Several main metabolites of benzo[a]pyrene （BaP） formed by Penicillium chrysogenum, Benzo[a]pyrene-1,6-quinone （BP 1,6- quinone）, trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene （BP 7,8-diol）, 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene （3-OHBP）, were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）. The three metabolites were liable to be accumulated and were hardly further metabolized because of their toxicity to microorganisms. However, their further degradation was essential for the complete degradation of BaP. To enhance their degradation, two methods, degradation by coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 and degradation only by Penicillium chrysogenum, were compared; Meanwhile, the parameters of degradation in the superior method were optimized. The results showed that （1） the method of coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 was better and was the first method to be used in the degradation of BaP and its metabolites; （2） the metabolite, BP 1,6-quinone was the most liable to be accumulated in pure cultures; （3） the effect of degradation was the best when the concentration of KMnO4 in the cultures was 0.01% （w/v）, concentration of the three compounds was 5 mg/L and pH was 6.2. Based on the experimental results, a novel concept with regard to the bioremediation of BaP-contaminated environment was discussed, considering the influence on environmental toxicity of the accumulated metabolites.     

Impact of atrazine and nitrogen fertilizers on the sorption of chlorotoluron in soil and model sorbents

Sorption of chlorotoluron in ammonium sulfate, urea and atrazine multi-solutes system was investigated by batch experiments. The results showed application of nitrogen fertilizers to the soil could affect the behavior of chlorotoluron. At the same concentration of N, sorption of chlorotoluron decreased as the concentration of atrazine increased on the day 0 and 6 in soil, respectively. The sorption of chlorotoluron increased from 0 to 6 d when soils were preincubated with deionized water, ammonium sulfate and urea solution for 6 d. That indicated incubation time was one of the most important factors for the sorption of chlorotoluron in nitrogen fertilizers treatments. The individual sorption isotherms of chlorotoluron in rubbery polymer and silica were strictly linear in single solute system, but there were competition sorption between pesticides or between pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers. That indicated the sorption taken place by concurrent solid-phase dissolution mechanism and sorption on the interface of water-organic matter or water-mineral matter.     

Distribution and ecological effect of mercury in Laogang landfill, Shanghai, China

Laogang landfill near Shanghai is the largest landfill in China, and receives about 10000 t of daily garbage per day, Samples of topsoil and plants were analyzed to evaluate mercury pollution from the landfill. For topsoil samples, there were significant correlations among total mercury （HgT）, combinative mercury （Hgc） and gaseous mercury （HgG）, and content of total organic carbon （TOC）, but, no significantly relationship was found between Hg content and filling time. Hg content changes in vertical profiles with time showed that the average Hgv of profiles 1992, 1996, and 2000 was similar, but their average HgG was quite different. HgT was significantly correlated with Hgc in profile 1992 and 2000, and Hgv was significantly correlated with Hg6 in profile 1996. HgG/Hgv ratio in profile samples decreased in the order of （HgG,/HgT）1992〉（HgG/HgT）1996〉〉（HgG/HgT）2000. A simple outline of Hg release in landfill could be drawn： with increasing of filling time, degradation undergoes different biodegradation, accordingly, gaseous mercury goes through small, more, and small proportion to total mercury. Distribution of Hg in plants was inhomogeneous, following the order of leaf〉root〉stem. The highest value of leaf may be associated with higher atmospheric Hg from landfill. Ligneous plants （e.g. Phyllostachys glanca, Prunus salicina and Ligustrum lucidum） are capable of enriching more Hg than herbaceous plants.     

EDTA-enhanced phytoremediation of lead contaminated soil by Bidens maximowicziana

Phytoremediation is a potential cleanup technology for the removal of heavy metals from contaminated soils.Bidens maximowicziana is a new Pb hyperaccumulator,which not only has remarkable tolerance to Pb but also extraordinary accumulation capacity for Pb.The maximum Pb concentration was 1509.3 mg/kg in roots and 2164.7 mg/kg in overground tissues.The Pb distribution order in the B. maximowicziana was:leaf>stem>root.The effect of amendments on phytoremediation was also studied.The mobility of soil Pb and the Pb concentrations in plants were both increased by EDTA application.Compared with CK(control check),EDTA application promoted translocation of Pb to overground parts of the plant.The Pb concentrations in overground parts of plants was increased from 24.23-680.56 mg/kg to 29.07-1905.57 mg/kg.This research demonstrated that B.maximowicziana appeared to be suitable for phytoremediation of Pb contaminated soil,especially,combination with EDTA.     

Decomposition of alachlor by ozonation and its mechanism

Decomposition and corresponding mechanism of alachlor, an endocrine disruptor in water by ozonation were investigated. Results showed that alachlor could not be completely mineralized by ozone alone. Many intermediates and final products were formed during the process, including aromatic compounds, aliphatic carboxylic acids, and inorganic ions. In evoluting these products, some of them with weak polarity were qualitatively identified by GC-MS. The information of inorganic ions suggested that the dechlorination was the first and the fastest step in the ozonation of alachlor.     

Enzymatic oxidation of aqueous pentachlorophenol

The influence of the nonionic surfactant Tween 80 on pentachlorophenol （PCP） oxidation catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase was studied. The surfactant was tested at concentrations below and above its critical micelle concentration （CMC）. Enhancement of PCP removal was observed at sub-CMCs. The presence of Tween 80 in the reaction mixture reduced enzyme inactivation which occurred through a combination of free radical attack and sorption by precipitated products. A simple first-order model was able to simulate time profiles for enzyme inactivation in the presence or absence of Tween 80. At supra-CMCs, the surfactant caused noticeable reductions in PCP removal, presumably through micelle partitioning of PCP which precluded the hydrophobic PCP molecule from interacting with the enzyme.
