南海南部水体和沉积物中的浮游有孔虫氧碳

通过对2002年南海南部春季水体和表层沉积物中浮游有孔虫的δ18O和δ13C分析,初步探讨该区有孔虫氧碳同位素的海洋环境指示意义及其与沉降过程的关系. 结果表明,南海南部春季表层水体中Globigerinoides ruber (G. ruber)与Globigerinoides sacculifer(G. sacculifer)的δ18O均值基本相似,相对它们在表层沉积物中的δ18O明显要小;但在表层沉积物中G. ruber 的δ18O则比G. sacculifer相对要小0.34‰.这种差异可能与G. sacculifer的配子生殖二次钙化以及2个种属的季节性差异有关.Pulleniatina obliquiloculata(P. obliquiloculata)的δ18O在沉积物和水体中均较G. ruber和G. sacculifer明显偏大,表现出较大的种间差异.P. obliquiloculata的δ18O在春季水体中比其在沉积物中平均约小0.7‰,差值较大,可能是因为P. obliquiloculata为冬季种,主要出现在冬季低温水体中.3种浮游有孔虫的δ13C以G. sacculifer最大,G. ruber次之,P. obliquiloculata最低,这种差异可能主要由属种间的生命效应所引起.表层沉积物中G. ruber和G. sacculifer的δ18O从区域的西北往东南有逐渐变小的趋势,可能受区域年均表层水温西北低东南高的影响.在上升流发育区,P. obliquiloculata的δ18O和δ13C均明显偏高,其δ13C与水体营养的关系与南海北部的明显相反,有待进一步深入研究.     

南海中部沉积物捕集器中浮游有孔虫的稳定同位素分析

通过对南海中部沉积物捕集器中浮游有孔虫的氧，碳稳定同位素分析，探讨了它们与海洋学参数之间的关系。分析结果显示，G.ruber的δ^18O值和δ^13C值都比G.sacculifer的轻；两者的δ^18O差值（△δ^18O)平均为0.520‰，δ^13C差值（△δ^13C)平均为0.544‰，证明G.ruber的生活水深（约30m)比G.sacculifer的（约50m)浅。G.ruber与G.sacculifer之间的△δ^18O呈现夏季大，冬季小的特点，可能与海水的垂向温度梯度在夏季较大有关，G.ruber幼体的δ^13C比成年个体的轻，幼体的δ^18O比成年个体的重，揭示了该种在繁殖期前，随着个体发育，生活的水层深度逐渐变浅。     

赤道西太平洋末次盛冰期以来的浮游有孔虫氧碳稳定同位素记录

对西太平洋暖池核心区MD01—2386柱状样最上部5m进行了高分辨率的浮游有孔虫Globigerinoides ruber和Pulleniatina obliquiloculata的氧、碳稳定同位素分析,结合AMS^14C测年,研究表明其属于末次盛冰期-全新世的沉积。赤道西太平洋海区末次盛冰期以来δ^18O值显著降低,但有几次回返事件。表层浮游有孔虫G．ruber比次表层温跃层属种P．obliquiloculata对于环境变化的响应要快,但后者变化的幅度较大。这两个种的氧、碳同位素差值反映出温跃层深度自末次盛冰期以来逐渐加深,并存在周期性的回返事件,说明西太平洋暖池晚第四纪冰期旋回存在气候不稳定性。     

南海中部全新世以来海山深潜区有孔虫的地球化学记录及反映的气候变化

有孔虫在生长发育过程中能够捕获或黏附周围海水中的钙质或硅质形成自己的壳体,因此有孔虫的地球化学特征能够记录古气候、古海洋和古环境信息。以2017年蛟龙号第136潜次在南海珍贝海山底部约2500 m水深位置精准采集的柱状样品为研究对象,对其中的G.ruber以及G.sacculifer两类浮游有孔虫壳体的Mg/Ca以及碳氧同位素组成进行了分析测试。结果表明自12.6 ka以来该海域表层海水温度(SST)的变化范围为24.4~29.3℃,平均温度为26.2℃,并能够识别出明显的气候突变事件,在时间范围上与新仙女木事件和全新世东亚夏季风突变事件大致吻合。这些突变事件可能受控于ENSO活动和热带辐合带(ITCZ)平均位置的纬向移动,并与北大西洋冰筏事件具有遥相关。此外,发现全新世期间浮游有孔虫G.sacculifer和G.ruber的碳同位素分馏值Δ^13CG.sacculifer-G.ruber与SST变化有关,SST降低时,Δ^13CG.sacculifer-G.ruber呈负偏;而在SST升高时,Δ^13CG.sacculifer-G.ruber呈正偏。     

南海表层沉积钙质超微化石氧碳同位素研究

对南海34个站位表层沉积中的钙质超微化石进行了氧碳稳定同位素分析.结果表明,钙质超微化石δ^18O化范围为-2.656‰～0.006‰,平均为-1.517‰;δ13C值变化范围为-1.510‰～0.778‰,平均为0.140‰.通过与有孔虫同位素分析结果相比较,发现钙质超微化石δ^18O高于浮游有孔虫而低于底栖有孔虫,δ13C值低于浮游有孔虫而高于底栖有孔虫.从平面分布来看,南海表层沉积钙质超微化石氧同位素在东北和西南各存在一个小于-1.5‰的低值区,碳同位素在东北存在一个小于0的低值区.钙质超微化石与有孔虫同位素值的差异性可能与其生命效应及生活环境有关.而钙质超微化石与有孔虫同位素平面分布规律上的不同也揭示了海水温度、盐度、营养水平等海洋参数可能对超微化石和有孔虫同位素的分馏起不同控制作用.     

黄、东海陆架2011年秋季活体浮游有孔虫生态分布

现代活体浮游有孔虫的生态研究是其古环境重建应用的重要基础。根据黄、东海陆架2011年秋季采集的20个垂直浮游拖网样品,分析了该海域浮游有孔虫的秋季生态分布特征。结果表明,黄海秋季基本上没有浮游有孔虫的出现。东海共发现13种活体浮游有孔虫,主要优势属种依次为Globigerinoides sacculifer、Pulleniatina obliquiloculata、Globigerina bulloides、Neogloboquadrina dutertrei和Globigerinoides ruber。浮游有孔虫丰度整体上呈现东南高,西北低的分布格局,这种分布格局反映了浮游有孔虫在黄、东海陆架区的分布主要受外海水影响强弱控制。浮游有孔虫主要属种在东海陆架呈现明显的区域分布差异:暖水种G. sacculifer是秋季陆架海区的主要优势种,其分布格局与总丰度基本一致,相对含量从南至北、从东至西逐渐降低,主要受区域表层海水温度变化的控制。G. bulloides与G. sacculifer呈相反的含量分布变化,其高含量主要出现在东海中陆架,从北往南逐渐降低,此外,在闽浙沿岸也有较高含量,表明了温度和生产力是影响G. bulloides在黄、东海陆架分布的主要因素。秋季P. obliquiloculata和N. dutertrei的高含量主要出现在东海南部中陆架区和济州岛西南黄海暖流影响区,可能受暖水与生产力的共同制约。     

末次冰期以来西太平洋暖池变化的浮游有孔虫记录

探讨了末次冰期以来西太平洋暖池区浮游有孔虫动物群变化对环境和全球气候变化的响应。对取自西太平洋暖池核心区WP92-5柱样中的浮游有孔虫及其壳体δ^18O的分析结果表明,西太平洋暖池末次冰期的冬季表层水温比全新世低2℃以上;浮游有孔虫Neogloboquadrina pachyderma的含量变化与Globigerinoides sacculifer的δ^18O值呈明显相关,各时段的峰值可能与YD事件和Heinrich事件H1、H2和H3大致对应,分别出现在21—29、38—46、64—72和106—117cm,^14C年龄约为9．7—11．1、12．8—14．7、19—20．9和26．2—27．4ka B．P．;浮游有孔虫N．pachyderma的含量与G．sacculifer的δ^18O在各峰值之间含有数个频次不等的亚级变化,反映了末次冰期以来西太平洋暖池区气候的短尺度快速变化特征。     

冲绳海槽表层沉积物中浮游有孔虫壳体的氧同位素分布特征及其影响因素

选择冲绳海槽的3个剖面A、B、C上的现代表层沉积物样品，对浮游有孔虫Globigerinoides ruber、Glo-bigerinoides sacculifer和Neogloboquadrina dutertrei进行了氧同位素分析，结果表明，几乎所有样品从G.ruber到G.sacculifer到N.dutertrei其氧同位素值均由轻变重，表明3种有孔虫其生活水层依次由浅到深，进一步证实了这3个种的生态生活习性在冲绳海槽区域与开放大洋同样一致，在槽穿海槽的A、C两个剖面上，G.ruber和N.dutertrei的氧同位素有相似的变化，从西向东氧内闰素值依次由轻变重，然后又变轻，表明剖面西侧站位有孔虫壳体氧同位素因受冲淡水影响较强而变轻，而在东侧站位受高温黑潮的影响氧同位素同样有变轻的趋势，沿海槽轴向展布的剖面B上的氧同位素变化主要受冲淡水的影响，表层水体在剖面中部和南端冲淡水影响相对较大，而次表层水只在剖面南端受冲淡水影响相对较强，剖面A、C上的N.dutertrei和G.ruber的氧同位素差值有着相反的变化趋势，在剖面A上，氧同位素差值从近陆端向近岛弧端逐渐由小变大，而在剖面C上，则逐渐由大变小，上述变化可能表明了磁部区域黑潮支流对表层水体的影响要大于次表层水体，而在南部海槽区域，黑潮暖流对次表层水体有相对较强的影响。     

南海深海沉积中的更新统/上新统界线及与意大利Vrica层型剖面的对比

应用浮游有孔虫定量统计、底栖有孔虫氧同位素和磁性地层学等资料来确定南海ODP1148站深海沉积中的上新统／更新统(P／P)界线。氧同位素期(MIS)64和65之间的P／P界线在1148站位于井深112．75m处，计算年龄为1．805Ma，在地层对比上与Vrica层型剖面的P／P界线一致。浮游有孔虫Pulleniatina obliquiloculata在MIS62出现以右旋壳为主的转变，计算年龄为1．76Ma，此事件和Olduvai极性亚时顶界看来是最接近P／P界线的可靠时间面。除此以外，在1148站P／P界线及其附近没有发现重大的地层学和环境变化事件。相比之下，1148站底栖δ^18O值在3．05～2．53Ma期间快速变重，冬季表层海水温度下降了5℃，指示了北半球冰盖的形成。     

印尼穿越流区现代浮游有孔虫四个属种壳体的稳定碳、氧同位素及其意义

Horizontal and vertical distributions of δ~(18)O and δ~(13)C were investigated in shells of four planktonic foraminiferal species, Globigerinoides ruber, Globigerinoides sacculifer, Pulleniatina obliquiloculata and Neogloboquedrina dutertrei, from a total of 62 core-top sediment samples from the Indonesian throughflow region. Results were compared to modern hydrologic conditions in order to explore potential of proxies in reconstructing fluvial discharge and upper ocean water column characteristics in this region. Our results show that, in the Makassar Strait, both of depleted δ~(18)O and δ~(13)C of these four species were linked to freshwater input. In the Bali Sea,however, depleted δ~(18)O and δ~(13)C for these species may be due to different reasons. Depleted δ~(18)O was a result of freshwater input and as well influenced by along-shore currents while depleted δ~(13)C was more likely due to the Java-Sumatra upwelling. Comparison of shell δ~(18)O records and hydrographic data of World Ocean Atlas 2005 suggests that G. ruber and G. sacculifer calcify within the mixed-layer, respectively at 0–50 m and 20–75 m water depth, and P. obliquiloculata and N. dutertrei within the upper thermocline, both at 75–125 m water depth. N.dutertrei calcifies at slightly deeper water depth than P. obliquiloculata does. In general, δ~(13)C values of both G.ruber and G. sacculifer are larger than those of P. obliquiloculata and N. dutertrei at all sites, possibly related to depth habitats of these species and vertical distribution of nutrients in the Indonesian throughflow region.     

同位素示踪技术在海洋环境研究中的应用

夏季大亚湾悬浮颗粒有机物碳、氮同位素组成及其物源指示

2015年夏季开展了大亚湾悬浮颗粒有机物碳（POC）、氮含量（PN）及其同位素组成的研究,结果表明,δ13C_POC和δ15N_PN的变化范围分别为-25.7‰~-17.4‰和-6.3‰~10.4‰,平均值分别为-20.2‰和8.2‰。大亚湾悬浮颗粒有机物含量及其碳氮同位素组成的空间变化反映了不同有机质来源的影响:喜洲岛附近海域表现出高POC、PN、δ13C_POC和δ15N_PN的特征,指征着浮游植物水华的主导贡献;东北部范和港附近海域具有高POC、PN、低δ13C_POC和高δ15N_PN的特征,反映了河流/河口水生有机物的影响;湾顶白寿湾附近海域的δ13C_POC和δ15N_PN出现低值,体现了陆源有机质和人类污水排放的影响。借助δ13C_POC和δ15N_PN的三端元混合模型,定量出海洋自生有机质、陆源有机质、河流/河口水生有机质等3个来源的贡献平均分别为70%、13%和17%,其中海洋自生有机质是夏季大亚湾悬浮颗粒有机物的最主要来源。从这3种来源颗粒有机物含量的空间变化看,海洋自生有机质含量由湾内向湾外减少,与初级生产力的空间变化相对应;河流/河口水生有机质含量在大亚湾东北部出现高值;陆源有机质含量在表、底层出现不同态势,表层陆源有机物含量在湾中部海域最低,而底层则呈现出自湾内向湾口增加的趋势,主要受控于离岸距离和珠江冲淡水、粤东沿岸上升流输送的影响。     

中国近海沉积物中钍同位素的分布

本文对采自中国7个近岸海域的沉积物中钍(铀)同位素的分布进行了研究。发现表层沉积物中,~(230)Th/~(232)Th)_(A.R.)均小于1.0且呈均匀分布的态势。但~(230)Th/~(232)Th)_(A.R.)的数值及其深度分布特征与深海沉积物截然不同。~(230)Th/~(232)Th)_(A.R.)与水深呈良好的正相关。钍系不平衡普遍存在,其特征是~(228)Th/~(232)Th)_(A.R.)<1.0,据此推测了沉积物中可溶化学物质与上覆海水发生交换的深度。研究了沉积物中~(232)Th的含量、比度和~(232)Th/~(238)U)_(C.R.)的分布特征。从~(234)Th_(ex.)的深度分布求出秀屿站的表层混合系数(0.49×10~(-6)cm~2/s)和沉积柱中~(234)Th_(ex.)的总量。     

海洋铪同位素演化及其对大陆物源与洋流变化的启示

尽管海洋铪(Hf)同位素早在20世纪80年代就有报道,但直到最近几年随着分析测试技术的发展,它作为示踪陆源风化输入和洋流循环改变的新指标才越来越受到关注。综述了全球大洋Hf同位素现代分布以及新生代演化特点,其中最重要的现象是Nd-Hf同位素投影图上海水与岩石具有不一致的趋势线。在这些观测资料的基础上着重讨论了围绕海洋Hf同位素物源争议的一系列问题,阐述了海洋热液系统、大陆差异风化、洋岛陆架沉积物溶解等对海洋Hf的贡献以及Hf,Nd存留时间不一致等对海洋Hf同位素的影响等。弄清Hf的海洋地球化学行为,对深入认识海洋Hf的循环以及古海洋演化具有着重要的意义。     

Geochemical characteristics of gases from the largest tight sand gas field (Sulige) and shale gas field (Fuling) in China

This study performed a detailed geochemical analyses of the components, stable carbon isotopes of alkane gas and CO₂, stable hydrogen isotopes of alkane gas and helium isotopes of reproducing gas from the largest tight gas field (Sulige) and shale gas (Fuling) field in China. The comparative study shows that tight gas from the Sulige gas field in the Ordos Basin is of coal-derived origin, which is characterized by a positive carbon and hydrogen isotopic distribution pattern (δ¹³C₁ > δ¹³C₂ > δ¹³C₃ > δ¹³C₄; δ²H₁ > δ²H₂ > δ²H₃), i.e., the carbon and hydrogen isotopes increase with increasing carbon numbers. Carbon dioxide from this field are of biogenic origin and the helium is crust-derived. Shale gas from the Fuling shale gas field belongs to oil-derived gas which has complete carbon and hydrogen isotopic reversal of secondary alteration origin (δ¹³C₁ < δ¹³C₂ < δ¹³C₃; δ²H₁ < δ²H₂ < δ²H₃), i.e., the carbon and hydrogen isotopes decrease with increasing carbon numbers. Such complete isotopic reversal distribution pattern is due to the secondary alteration like oil or gas cracking, diffusion and so on under high temperature. In that case, positive carbon or hydrogen isotopic distribution pattern will change into complete isotopic reversal as the temperature increases. Carbon dioxide is of abiogenic origin resulting from the thermal metamorphism of carbonates and helium is crust-derived.     

铵锌镉还原法测试硝酸盐氮、氧同位素方法研究

本研究利用铵锌镉还原法将海水、湖水和自来水水体中硝酸盐转化为N₂O气体测试氮、氧同位素, 结果表明当反应体系的pH值在6～8之间, NO₃^-还原为NO₂^-的转化率大于95%, NO₂^-还原为N₂O的转化率大于99%。配置5种丰度的硝酸盐氮、氧同位素标样, 将实验结果与理论值绘制校准曲线, 氮同位素校准曲线斜率为0.48, 相关性良好(R²=0.999 8), 5种丰度δ¹⁵N_N2O标准偏差在0.18‰～0.43‰之间(n=5);氧同位素校准曲线斜率为0.70, 相关性良好(R²=0.999 6), 5种丰度δ¹⁸O_N2O标准偏差在0.27‰～0.46‰之间(n=5)。铵锌镉还原法与镉柱还原法测定硝酸盐氮、氧同位素结果的精密度和准确度一致, 同时海水、湖水和自来水3种不同类型水样的硝酸盐氮、氧同位素测试数据满足实验要求, 而且在实验流程的简洁性和高效性方面更具优势。     

镭、氡同位素示踪调水调沙对黄河口水体运移及营养盐分布特征的影响

为研究调水调沙影响下的镭、氡同位素和营养盐在黄河口的分布特征,于2013年7月调水调沙期间在黄河口及其邻近海域进行了多点的连续观测。研究发现:(1)黄河口海域镭、氡同位素分布呈现明显的“分区”现象,南北两区分别为“调水调沙影响非显著区域”和“调水调沙影响显著区域”,北部海域镭、氡同位素浓度高值主要来源于陆源输入(包括河流输入和海底地下水排放);(2)调查期间,北部海域水体年龄为(2.9±1.6)d,南部海域水体年龄为(5.0±2.1)d;水龄随潮汐变化表现出涨潮时水龄增大、落潮时水龄减小的波动趋势;(3)北部海域溶解无机氮(DIN)和溶解硅(DSi)含量明显高于南部海域,而溶解无机磷(DIP)在两个区域的含量相差不大。     

Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes of sinking particles in the eastern bransfield strait (Antarctica)

A time-series sediment trap was deployed at 1,034 m water depth in the eastern Bransfield Strait for a complete year from December 25, 1998 to December 24, 1999. About 99% of total mass flux was trapped during an austral summer, showing distinct seasonal variation. Biogenic particles (biogenic opal, particulate organic carbon, and calcium carbonate) account for about two thirds of annual total mass flux (49.2 g m^-2), among which biogenic opal flux is the most dominant (42% of the total flux). A positive relationship (except January) between biogenic opal and total organic carbon fluxes suggests that these two variables were coupled, due to the surface-water production (mainly diatoms). The relatively low δ¹³C values of settling particles result from effects on C-fixation processes at low temperature and the high CO² availability to phytoplankton. The correspondingly low δ¹⁵N values are due to intense and steady input of nitrates into surface waters, reflecting an unlikely nitrate isotope fractionation by degree of surface-water production. The δ¹⁵N and δ¹³C values of sinking particles increased from the beginning to the end of a presumed phytoplankton bloom, except for anomalous δ¹⁵N values. Krill and the zooplankton fecal pellets, the most important carriers of sinking particles, may have contributed gradually to the increasing δ¹³C values towards the unproductive period through the biomodification of the δ¹³C values in the food web, respiring preferentially and selectively¹²C atoms. Correspondingly, the increasing δ¹⁵N values in the intermediate-water trap are likely associated with a switch in source from diatom aggregates to some remains of zooplankton, because organic matter dominated by diatom may be more liable and prone to remineralization, leading to greater isotopic alteration. In particular, the tendency for abnormally high δ¹⁵N values in February seems to be enigmatic. A specific species dominancy during the production may be suggested as a possible and speculative reason.     

楚科奇和西伯利亚陆架颗粒有机物的来源：碳、氮同位素的线索

The stable isotopic composition(δ~(13)C and δ~(15)N) and carbon/nitrogen ratio(C/N) of particulate organic matter(POM) in the Chukchi and East Siberian shelves from July to September, 2016 were measured to evaluate the spatial variability and origin of POM. The δ~(13)C_(POC) values were in the range of -29.5‰ to-17.5‰ with an average of -25.9‰±2.0‰, and the δ~(15)N_(PN) values ranged from 3.9‰ to 13.1‰ with an average of 8.0‰±1.6‰. The C/N ratios in the East Siberian shelf were generally higher than those in the Chukchi shelf, while the δ~(13)C and δ~(15)N values were just the opposite. Abnormally low C/N ratios(4), low δ~(13)C_(POC)(almost-28‰) and high δ~(15)N_(PN)(10‰) values were observed in the Wrangel Island polynya, which was attributed to the early bloom of small phytoplankton. The contributions of terrestrial POM, bloom-produced POM and non-bloom marine POM were estimated using a three end-member mixing model. The spatial distribution of terrestrial POM showed a high fraction in the East Siberian shelf and decreased eastward, indicating the influence of Russian rivers. The distribution of non-bloom marine POM showed a high fraction in the Chukchi shelf with the highest fraction occurring in the Bering Strait and decreased westward, suggesting the stimulation of biological production by the Pacific inflow in the Chukchi shelf. The fractions of bloom-produced POM were highest in the winter polynya and gradually decreased toward the periphery. A negative relationship between the bloom-produced POM and the sea ice meltwater inventory was observed, indicating that the net sea ice loss promotes early bloom in the polynya.Given the high fraction of bloom-produced POM, the early bloom of phytoplankton in the polynyas may play an important role on marine production and POM export in the Arctic shelves.     

Nitrate δ15N and δ18O evidence for active biological transformation in the Changjiang Estuary and the adjacent East China Sea

The Changjiang Estuary has been considered as one of the most polluted estuaries in the world due to high nitrate (NO-3) input, especially in spring and summer. In this study, δ15N and δ18O of NO-3 , along with other chemical parameters in this area, were measured in spring to evaluate NO-3 biogeochemical processes. A simple two end-members mixing model was used to examine the relative contribution of the Changjiang River Diluted Water and marine water to NO-3 sources in the Changjiang Estuary and the adjacent East China Sea. The isotopic signals show that NO-3 behaved relatively and conservatively in Transect F and Transect P where assimilation was weak possibly due to vertical mixing, while active assimilation and weak nitrification occurred in Transect D. Spatial difference in assimilation was indicated by the～1:1 enrichment of δ15N and δ18O in the three transects, while spatial difference in nitrification was reflected by deviations of δ15 N and δ18O from assimilation line. Our results suggest that the input of the Changjiang River Diluted Water promoted NO-3 assimilation possibly by stratifying the water column which favored the phytoplankton growth.
