In addition to analyzing the main parameters in soil, C content and its δ 13C value in parts of rice and maize (root, stem and leaf) were also analyzed to assess the contribution of plant residues on soil organic carbon content after harvest. The experiment was carried out in 2016-2017 on the field with the traditional farming method of local farmers along with the tropical monsoon weather conditions of the North-Vietnam. The results showed that SOC had positive correlation with total N, total P parameters and negative correlation with δ 13C values of soil samples at two layers (0 - 15 cm and 15 - 30 cm). The average of total dry biomass (stem, stump + roots and leaf parts) per 1 rice and 1 maize crop was 10.64 Mg/ha and 9.09 Mg/ha, respectively. The average of δ 13C value of rice (C3 plant) was -29.78‰ and its value of maize (C4 plant) was -12.61‰. The new plant (rice) contributes to the total soil organic carbon content from 11.31% to 44.14% at the 0 - 15 cm layer and from 6.55% to 11.31% at the 15 - 30 cm layer in one-year experiment period.展开更多

The source of the organic matter in the sediment was mainly from autochthonous phyto-plankton, therefore the significances of proxies can be interpreted as that high TOC, TOC/TS, HI and δ^(13)C_(org) values, low TC, TIC values corresponded to warm and wet climatic condition, and vice versa. The process of climatic development in the Zige Tangco region was hence recovered. During the early and Mid-Holocene, the climate was warm and wet and intensive cold events occurred during the periods of 8600 to 8400 cal a BP and 7400 to 7000 cal a BP. In the second half of Holocene, the climate became cold and dry gradually. The palaeoclimatic process during Holocene in Zige Tangco region matched well with that in Co Ngoin region which is ca 40 km to the south-east. Therefore this palaeoclimatic process represents the Holocene climatic feature in the Central Tibetan Plateau which has the same pattern in the Northern Tibetan Plateau, but the time and duration of some climatic events might be different. We can conclude that in Holocene solar insolation controlled the climatic pattern on the central Tibetan Plateau.展开更多

The results indicate that the vegetation type is nearly pure C3 plants in the studied region during the Holocene. In contrast to other reported loess sequences in the central-southeast CLP, the relative abundance of the C4 plants decreases from southeast to northwest, with the vegetation types changing from pure C3 to a C4/C3 mixture should near 36°N in the Holocene. From the perspective of the modem temperature and precipitation distribution, the summer temperature has no obvious change at the same latitude, but there are differences in the summer precipi- tation, which exhibit an obvious increase from west to east. Further analysis indicated that the C4 plant abundance decreases with the decreasing summer season precipitation from the southeast to the northwest CLP during the Holocene. We suggest that with the absence of favorable precipitation condition, increasing temperature and decreasing atmospheric CO2 concentration are insufficient to drive an expansion of the C4 plants on the CLP in the Holocene. According to a Holocene precipitation recon- struction, a ＂threshold value＂ of summer precipitation existed, which mainly controlled the expansion of C4 plants. Compared with the modern δ13Csom and climate data on the CLP, both the Holocene and the present ＂threshold value＂ are near the 360-mm summer precipitation line, although the present precipitation line turned slightly southwestward. Our results provide new insights for further research on the C4/C3 variations with precipi- tation and the relationship to global C4/C3 change.展开更多

文摘In this paper, we report organic carbon isotopic characterizations from two loess sequences （JY and GL）, spanning the last 20 ka, from the northwest Chinese Loess Plateau （CLP）. The results indicate that the vegetation type is nearly pure C3 plants in the studied region during the Holocene. In contrast to other reported loess sequences in the central-southeast CLP, the relative abundance of the C4 plants decreases from southeast to northwest, with the vegetation types changing from pure C3 to a C4/C3 mixture should near 36°N in the Holocene. From the perspective of the modem temperature and precipitation distribution, the summer temperature has no obvious change at the same latitude, but there are differences in the summer precipi- tation, which exhibit an obvious increase from west to east. Further analysis indicated that the C4 plant abundance decreases with the decreasing summer season precipitation from the southeast to the northwest CLP during the Holocene. We suggest that with the absence of favorable precipitation condition, increasing temperature and decreasing atmospheric CO2 concentration are insufficient to drive an expansion of the C4 plants on the CLP in the Holocene. According to a Holocene precipitation recon- struction, a ＂threshold value＂ of summer precipitation existed, which mainly controlled the expansion of C4 plants. Compared with the modern δ13Csom and climate data on the CLP, both the Holocene and the present ＂threshold value＂ are near the 360-mm summer precipitation line, although the present precipitation line turned slightly southwestward. Our results provide new insights for further research on the C4/C3 variations with precipi- tation and the relationship to global C4/C3 change.
