Application of an odd/even predominance of n-alkanes in oil–source rock correlation: taking the lower Paleozoic strata of the Tarim Basin as an example

The composition and distribution of n-alkanes carbon numbers reflect the source of kerogenic organic matter, sedimentary environment, and maturity of the rocks. The comparison results of the n-alkanes GC (gas chromatography) chromatograms in the Tazhong Low Uplift show that the n-alkanes of the source rocks in Upper Ordovician display an odd carbon number predominance. At the same time, Cambrian–Lower Ordovician exhibit an even carbon number predominance. The correlation between oil and source rock illustrates that crude oils in the fields of well TZ10-12 and well TZ24 stem from the Upper Ordovician source rocks. The origins of the crude oils in the fields of well TZ161-162 and well TZ45 are Cambrian–Lower Ordovician. The strata corresponding to the crude oils with odd/even carbon number predominance match the oil–source rock correlation. Thus, the characteristics of odd/even carbon number predominance in n-alkane compounds are effective for oil–source rock correlation in the Tazhong Low Uplift, Tarim Basin.     

Changes in nitrogen budget and potential risk to the environment over 20 years (1990–2010) in the agroecosystems of the Haihe Basin,China

The nitrogen balance can serve as an indicator of the risk to the environment of nitrogen loss from agricultural land. To investigate the temporal and spatial changes in agricultural nitrogen application and its potential threat to the environment of the Haihe Basin in China, we used a database of county-level agricultural statistics to calculate agricultural nitrogen input, output, surplus intensity, and use efficiency. Chemical fertilizer nitrogen input increased by 51.7% from 1990 to 2000 and by 37.2% from 2000 to 2010, concomitant with increasing crop yields. Simultaneously, the nitrogen surplus intensity increased by 53.5% from 1990 to 2000 and by 16.5% from 2000 to 2010, presenting a continuously increased environmental risk. Nitrogen use efficiency decreased from 0.46 in 1990 to 0.42 in 2000 and remained constant at 0.42 in 2010, partly due to fertilizer composition and type improvement. This level indicates that more than half of nitrogen inputs are lost in agroecosystems. Our results suggest that although the improvement in fertilizer composition and types has partially offset the decrease in nitrogen use efficiency, the environmental risk has still increased gradually over the past 20 years, along with the increase in crop yields and nitrogen application. It is important to achieve a better nitrogen balance through more effective management to significantly reduce the environmental risk, decrease nitrogen surplus intensity, and increase nitrogen use efficiency without sacrificing crop yields.     

临夏盆地13.0~4.3 Ma湖相沉积物中正构脂肪酮记录的古气候演化

本文主要采用气相色谱-质谱分析技术对临夏盆地13.0~4.3 Ma沉积地层剖面样品进行检测,根据样品中正构烷烃、正构脂肪酮-2和正构脂肪酮-3的分布特征,揭示了正构脂肪酮对环境气候的指示意义。正构脂肪酮-2、正构脂肪酮-3与正构烷烃具有相同的有机质来源。其中正构脂肪酮-2的C₂₁^-/C₂₂⁺及正构脂肪-3-酮的C₂₁^-/C₂₃⁺比值变化与地质历史时期的气候与环境条件具有较好的相关性,对环境温度及湿度等变化有一定的指示意义。正构脂肪酮-2、正构脂肪酮-3的高、低碳数优势的转化指示研究区在13.0~4.3 Ma间的古气候具有四个较为明显的变化阶段,其中10.77~9.42 Ma、7.17~6.92 Ma气候由干冷变为暖湿,9.42~7.17 Ma、6.92~6.45 Ma气候由暖湿变为干冷,临夏盆地的干旱化事件指示了我国西北内陆现代干旱气候可能从8 Ma左右开始。     

长江中下游流域旱涝急转时空演变特征分析

基于长江中下游流域75个雨量站1960~2012年的日降水资料,通过定义长、短周期旱涝急转指数,全面地分析了长江中下游流域旱涝急转的趋势变化和时空分布特征。研究结果表明:(1)长周期旱涝急转表现为以涝转旱事件为主,且存在由旱涝急转事件向全旱或全涝事件过渡的趋势,短周期的旱涝急转发生频率较高的也是涝转旱事件;(2)长江中下游北岸多发生旱转涝事件,南岸则多发生涝转旱事件;(3)1998年和2011年6~7月短周期高强度旱转涝事件发生在长江北岸,涝转旱事件发生在南岸地区;5~6月与7~8月旱涝急转事件强度分布则呈相反状态;(4)总体来说,长、短周期涝转旱频次呈现不断减小的趋势,旱转涝有轻微增加的趋势。7~8月则较为特殊,湘江流域涝转旱有增加的趋势,洞庭湖地区涝转旱显著增加,此研究结果可以为长江中下游流域防洪抗旱工作提供一定的依据。

IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON MISSOURI RWER BASIN WATER YIELD1

ABSTRACT: Water from the Missouri River Basin is used for multiple purposes. The climatic change of doubling the atmospheric carbon dioxide may produce dramatic water yield changes across the basin. Estimated changes in basin water yield from doubled CO₂ climate were simulated using a Regional Climate Model (RegCM) and a physically based rainfall‐runoff model. RegCM output from a five‐year, equilibrium climate simulation at twice present CO₂ levels was compared to a similar present‐day climate run to extract monthly changes in meteorologic variables needed by the hydrologic model. These changes, simulated on a 50‐km grid, were matched at a commensurate scale to the 310 subbasin in the rainfall‐runoff model climate change impact analysis. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) rainfall‐runoff model was used in this study. The climate changes were applied to the 1965 to 1989 historic period. Overall water yield at the mouth of the Basin decreased by 10 to 20 percent during spring and summer months, but increased during fall and winter. Yields generally decreased in the southern portions of the basin but increased in the northern reaches. Northern subbasin yields increased up to 80 percent: equivalent to 1.3 cm of runoff on an annual basis.     

末次间冰期以来渭河盆地沉积相变化及其影响

渭河盆地南依秦岭、北邻黄土高原,保存了巨厚的风尘河湖相沉积序列,是研究新生代气候环境演化的理想场所.以位于西安凹陷区域的西安市鄠邑区正庄村获取的14 m钻孔岩心作为研究对象,通过与邻近的渭南黄土剖面粒度曲线和全球LR04深海氧同位素曲线对比,构建了岩心序列的年代标尺,利用粒度、磁化率等指标探讨风尘-湖相沉积对风力和水动力的不同响应.对粒度测试结果采用威布尔分布(Weibull-distribution)拟合方法,提取了4个粒度组分指示不同沉积相及变化,结果表明:(1)西安凹陷鄠邑地区在末次间冰期结束时发生了一次沉积相变,由湖泊沉积转向风成沉积;(2)尽管沉积相发生变化,粒度指标对沉积环境变化响应仍然敏感,与黄土和石笋记录可良好对比,揭示出末次间冰期以来渭河盆地沉积环境的显著变化.     

伊犁盆地昭苏黄土不同粒径和相态稀土元素特征及其物源指示意义

为了探讨伊犁盆地风成沉积物质来源特征,对伊犁地区昭苏黄土剖面代表性样品各个 粒级全岩、酸溶组分和残渣组分中的稀土元素进行了分析。结果表明,各个粒级组分全岩样品 的稀土总量（ΣREE）的变化范围为114.61~178.37 μg·g?1,剖面中各个粒级组分稀土球粒陨石标 准化配分模式呈轻稀土富集,存在明显的Eu 负异常,Ce 无明显异常。各个粒级组分酸溶残渣 稀土特征与上述全岩特征类似。酸溶组分稀土的上部大陆地壳标准化呈现稳定的中稀土富集。 随着各组分粒级变粗,酸溶组分稀土占全岩比例呈现先降低后升高的趋势,即从<2 μm 组分到 16 ~32 μm 组分比例渐次降低,而后从16 ~32 μm 组分到>63 μm 渐次升高,这主要反映了以西风 为代表的远源输送体系和以近地面风为代表的近源输送体系下两种来源的碎屑碳酸盐稀土的混 合。本文不同粒径和赋存形态下稀土元素的特征表明了利用风成沉积物稀土元素反映源区物质 特征存在一定复杂性。
