作为全球主要的粉尘源区之一,亚洲中部干旱区全新世环境变化备受关注,但目前仍缺乏连续的风成沉积记录。本文利用蒙古西北部Tolbo湖岩芯(TB19-A,332 cm)沉积物,在AMS 14 C定年和粒度分析基础上,采用对数正态分布函数拟合及粒级-标准偏...作为全球主要的粉尘源区之一,亚洲中部干旱区全新世环境变化备受关注,但目前仍缺乏连续的风成沉积记录。本文利用蒙古西北部Tolbo湖岩芯(TB19-A,332 cm)沉积物,在AMS 14 C定年和粒度分析基础上,采用对数正态分布函数拟合及粒级-标准偏差相结合的方法分离出沉积物中风成组分以重建区域风沙活动历史。结果显示,Tolbo湖沉积物中值粒径为15~84μm和大于84μm的组分分别是区域尘暴和局地风沙活动的良好指标。蒙古西北部地区末次冰消期晚期(13.7511.6 cal ka BP),Tolbo湖流域内有较强的局地风沙活动,可能与YD寒冷事件有关。全新世以来,流域内局地风沙活动与蒙古西北部区域尘暴活动的变化具有一致性,具体表现为:早中全新世风沙活动总体较弱,其中9.78.6 cal ka BP和76 cal ka BP为区域尘暴较强时段;5 cal ka BP之后局地风沙活动与区域尘暴强度显著增加,直至0.7 cal ka BP两者均维持在较高水平;0.3 cal ka BP以来区域尘暴活动再次增强。蒙古西北部与中国北方公海、博斯腾湖记录的尘暴历史具有一致的变化趋势,反映了与西伯利亚高压相联系的大气环流对于干旱区大范围风沙活动的影响。晚全新世风沙活动的增强可能还与冬季太阳辐射的增加有关,最近300年来强烈的区域尘暴活动除了自然因素外,可能还叠加了人类活动的影响。展开更多

The experiment samples were collected from the Haibo Estuary (S1) and the Licun Estuary (S2) of the Jiaozhou Bay in China,which are seriously polluted with mercury. The results show that the mercury in sediment releases rapidly to atmosphere under solar radiation. After 8 hours of solar radiation,mercury concentrations decrease from 5.62 μg/g and 2.92 μg/g to 2.34 μg/g and 1.39 μg/g in S1 and S2 sediments respectively in summer,and decrease from 5.62 μg/g and 2.92 μg/g to 4.58 μg/g and 2.13 μg/g respectively in winter. The mercury species in the sediment change markedly under solar radiation. The concentrations of mercury bound to organic matter decrease significantly from 2.73 μg/g to 0.31 μg/g in S1 and from 2.07 μg/g to 0.31 μg/g in S2,and the released mercury mainly comes from mercury bound to organic matter. Mercury flux shows distinguishing characteristic of diurnal change,and it increases rapidly in the morning with the rising of solar radiation intensity,but decreases in the afternoon. The mercury flux increases with sediment temperature and solar radiation intensity. The rapid release of mercury in intertidal sediment plays an important role in the regional mercury cycle.展开更多
