峨眉山玄武岩化学风化研究——以龙苍沟小流域为例

通过对四川省雅安龙苍沟峨眉山玄武岩小流域的水化学组成研究,分析了不同物质来源对小流域溪水溶解质的贡献,并对该小流域岩石风化速率和CO2消耗速率进行了估算。结果表明,龙苍沟流域溪水呈中性,PH平均值为6.82。溪水中阳离子以Ca^2+为主,约占阳离子总量的56%;阴离子以HCO3^-为主,约占阴离子总量的45%。碳酸盐岩风化、硅酸盐岩风化、大气降水和人为活动对溪水阳离子平均贡献率分别为50.2%、38.2%、10.5%和1.1%。流域硅酸盐岩风化速率为37.54±24.94 t/km^2/yr,硅酸盐岩风化对大气C02消耗速率为5.4±3.6 mol C/km^2/yr。本文首次对我国峨眉山玄武岩省化学风化大气CO2消耗量进行估算,得到其年消耗通量为1.35±0.89×10^11 mol C/yr,约为全球玄武岩CO2年消耗通量的3.31±2.18%。     

亚热带小流域花岗岩化学风化及CO2消耗速率研究

文章选择深圳市的亚热带典型小流域作为研究对象,通过定期采集流域内降水、泉水、岩石及风化残积土样品,分析所有样品的常量元素和微量元素,探讨流域水体的化学成分组成和主要成分来源以及岩石化学风化程度和风化趋势,结合流域水文气象数据估算了花岗岩化学风化速率及CO₂消耗速率。结果表明,研究区地下水化学类型为HCO₃-Na型,主要受控于硅酸盐矿物的风化溶解作用和阳离子交换作用。花岗岩的化学蚀变指数（CIA）为47.15~57.47,残积土的CIA为59.24~82.71。A-CN-K三角图指示风化初期Na,Ca活泼性元素流失,风化中后期K元素流失,Al元素逐渐富集。花岗岩的平均化学风化速率为14.40 m/Myr。岩性、离子径流通量和气候条件的不同可能是造成化学风化速率差异的主要原因。大气酸沉降对岩石风化的贡献约占总化学风化量的11.73%。研究区平均CO₂消耗速率为0.59×106 mol/(km2 yr),酸雨使得岩石在风化过程中对大气/土壤中CO₂的消耗减少。     

The Influence of Allogenic Water and Sulfuric Acid to Karst Carbon Sink in Karst Subterranean River in Southern Hu’nan

Evaluating the impact of allogenic water and sulfuric acid on karst carbon sink not only helps to improve the accurate calculation of soil CO₂ uptake by rock weathering, but also obtains a complete understanding of the global carbon cycle. Groundwater samples were collected from four karst subterranean rivers watershed within different lithology strata in Wushui Basin, upstream of Beijiang Basin, Hunan Province, for revealing the important impact of silicate weathering on hydrochemistry of groundwater. To estimate the contribution of soil CO₂ uptake by silicate weathering to CO₂ uptake by rock weathering, the Galy model was employed in this article. The important impact of sulfuric acid on CO₂ uptake by carbonate weathering resulting from the substitution of carbonic acid by protons from sulfuric acid was investigated. Our results showed that the concentration of Na⁺, K⁺ and SiO₂ in L01,L02 subterranean river with silicate strata in watershed were higher than that in L03,L04 subterranean river without silicate strata in watershed, which implied that the contribution of silicate weathering to Na⁺,K⁺ and SiO₂ was very important in watershed within silicate strata . The changeable equivalent ratio between (Ca²⁺+Mg²⁺) and HCO₃^- was 1.05 to 1.15, and the value of [Ca²⁺+Mg²⁺]/[HCO₃^-+SO₄^2-] was 0.99 to 1.08. The concentrations of Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ exceeded the equivalent concentrations of HC₃^-, and the excess of Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺cations were compensated by SO₄^2-, which suggested that sulfuric acid has an important influence on carbonate dissolution. The contribution of soil CO₂uptake by silicate weathering to CO₂ consumption in L01 and L02 subterranean river were 3.36% and 2.22%, respectively, whereas the contribution in L03, L04 subterranean river were less than 0.50%, indicating that the contribution of soil CO₂ uptake by silicate weathering was important in the subterranean river basin within silicate strata. Due to the contributions made by sulfuric acid, the CO₂ consumption in four subterranean rivers decreased by 4.84%, 4.52%, 6.20%, 9.36%, respectively.     

长江干流水化学成因与风化过程CO2消耗通量解析

长江流域面积巨大,岩性多变,加之三峡大坝等重大水利工程的影响,干流河水的水化学成因存在较大争议。此外,以往研究中流域矿物风化过程的碳汇通量估算一般基于阳离子来源分析,但该算法通常涉及多种矿物端元的参数选取,结果具有不确定性。本次研究对长江干流水化学的时空演变进行了整体分析,并基于上游河水样品HCO₃~-含量的校正与计算,提出了一种计算矿物风化过程碳汇通量的新方法。研究结果表明,蒸发盐溶解、循环盐作用、矿物风化及硫酸盐溶解是控制长江干流河水离子组成的主要水文地球化学作用,而人类活动主要影响了离海距离3 000 km以内河水NO₃~-含量;长江上游干流硅酸盐风化消耗CO₂速率为1.16×10~5 mol/(km~2·a),碳酸盐风化消耗CO₂速率为4.75×10~5 mol/(km~2·a)。本研究有助于加深对长江干流主要水文地球化学作用的认识,丰富和完善碳循环研究理论。     

珠江流域碳酸盐岩与硅酸盐岩风化对大气CO_2汇的效应

对珠江流域11个测站的河水1个水文年4次取样进行水化学和同位素测试分析,揭示无论是碳酸盐岩区还是硅酸盐岩区,岩石风化均使河流的离子成分以HCO3-、Ca2+、Mg2+为主,碳酸盐岩风化溶蚀速率和由碳酸盐岩风化溶蚀引起的大气CO2消耗量分别为27.60 mm/ka和540.21x103mol/(km2·a-1),是硅酸盐岩风化速率和由硅酸盐岩风化引起的大气CO2消耗量的10.8倍和6.7倍,说明碳酸盐岩风化是流域碳汇过程及效应的主体。由于有利的水热条件和高的碳酸盐岩面积比例,珠江流域平均岩石风化速率和由岩石风化作用引起的大气CO2消耗量分别为30.15mm/ka和620.36×103mol/(km2·a-1),为全球60条河流平均值的2.6倍。     

全球变暖背景下北美育空河流域化学风化增强

硅酸盐岩风化对气候变化和构造运动的反馈对长尺度气候变化可能起到重要的调节作用,对该反馈过程的定量认识有助于更确切理解地球碳循环的运行规律。通常认为风化类型可分为两种,分别是供应限制和动力学限制。全球变暖可能促进了动力学限制流域的化学风化作用,然而,关于这方面的认识仍很有限。育空河流域是典型的动力学限制风化区域,研究育空河的风化对气候变暖的响应有助于深入认识气候和大陆风化之间的相互作用。正演模型是区分河流风化端元的重要手段,文章利用正演模型对育空河流域从1975年到2019年的主要离子组成的数据集进行分析,并获得了该流域在过去几十年的化学风化速率的变化趋势。结果表明,育空河水化学性质主要受到碳酸盐岩风化和硅酸盐岩风化控制,两者多年平均碳汇通量分别为2.1×10¹¹ mol/yr和4.1×10¹⁰ mol/yr,处于世界主要大河碳汇通量的中间水平。更重要的是,在同一时期,伴随着2.2℃的温度增幅和13.7%的径流量增加,流域内的阳离子总通量增加了35.7%,其中硅酸盐岩和碳酸盐岩风化产生的阳离子通量分别增加了41%和35%,阳离子通量/风化速率对气候的敏感性与冰岛地区的研究结果符合的很好,与风化速率加快相对应的,硅酸盐岩风化碳汇通量相对增加了59.6%。尽管碳汇的增加在绝对通量上相比人类化石燃烧产生的碳排放通量微不足道,但是考虑到构造尺度内全球硅酸盐岩风化速率的增强,尤其是在较为寒冷的高纬度地区,额外的二氧化碳固定量可能对地球历史时期的全球气候产生重要影响。     

秋季黄河pCO2控制因素及水-气界面通量

根据2006年11月1~10日,秋季黄河平水期二氧化碳分压(pCO₂)的现场实测数据及相关同步观测资料,对黄河表层水pCO₂的分布及其影响因素进行了研究。结果表明:水体pCO₂在80~166Pa,平均值110Pa,在世界主要河流中属中等偏下水平;空间分布存在较大的不均匀性,中游高于上游和下游。浮游植物的光合作用对pCO₂有一定的影响但强度较弱,即使在叶绿素最高值3.58μg/L的包头站pCO₂仍达到91Pa。黄河水体有机物含量较低且继承了陆源有机物难降解的特性,干流和库区EpCO₂/AOU的比值为0.14和0.20,远低于生物好氧呼吸作用控制水体pCO₂的理论下限0.62,因此,生物好氧呼吸作用对水体pCO₂的贡献不大。悬浮物(TSS)含量为3.77~1308mg/L,溶解无机碳(DIC)含量为3.03~4.14mmol/L,普遍高于世界其它河流且最大值均出现在潼关站;同时水体pCO₂与TSS、PIC、DIC含量具有极好的正相关性。因此黄河流域强烈的机械侵蚀和化学风化作用形成的碳酸盐体系是控制水体pCO₂的主要因素。利用Wanninkhof提出的淡水水-气交换系数的通量模式估算,黄河水域水-气界面CO₂交换速率约为0.229μmol/m2·s,秋季可向大气释放CO₂14.5亿moL,相当于8250km2草原或是112km2森林一年的固碳量。黄河CO₂释放通量与渥太华河相近,但要远小于亚马逊河。

疏勒河源区水化学特征及其控制因素分析

以疏勒河源区为研究区,自2018年12月至2019年11月分别采集河水、泉水和雪样样品44个、4个和7个,综合运用Piper三线图、Gibbs图、离子比值法定性分析不同水体水化学特征及控制因素,利用质量平衡法（正向地球化学模型）量化不同来源对不同季节河水水化学成分的贡献率。结果表明：疏勒河源区不同水体水化学特征存在差异,TDS含量为泉水>河水>冰川融水>雪水,河水水化学类型冬季为HCO₃^--Mg²⁺?Ca²⁺型,春季为HCO₃^--Ca²⁺?Mg²⁺?Na⁺型,夏、秋季均为HCO₃^--Ca²⁺?Mg²⁺型,泉水和雪水分别为HCO₃^--Ca²⁺?Mg²⁺型、HCO₃^--Ca²⁺型;受多种因素共同影响,不同季节河水主离子时空变化均存在差异;河水和泉水水化学组成受岩石风化作用控制,主离子来源于以白云石为主的碳酸盐岩风化、硅酸盐岩风化和盐岩、石膏、硫酸盐矿物等蒸发岩溶解;正向地球化学模型计算结果表明冬春季河水阳离子主要来源于硅酸盐岩风化溶解,夏秋季碳酸盐岩对河水阳离子贡献率大于硅酸盐岩,总体河水阳离子主要来源于碳酸盐岩和硅酸盐岩风化。     

A Review of Magnesium Isotope System in Rivers

In recent years, a series of important progresses have been made in the aspect of magnesium isotopes behavior in weathering processes. These progresses are not only favorable to understand the change of the magnesium isotopic compositions in rivers, but also establish the foundation to further reveal the magnesium isotope geochemical cycle. The magnesium in rivers is both magnesium sink for weathering and magnesium source for the ocean. The Mg isotopic compositions in rivers are dominated by the magnesium sources and Mg isotope fractionations processes. The sources of magnesium in rivers originate mainly from draining rocks, as well as less contribution from the eolian deposition, groundwater, plant debris, and precipitation. The Mg isotope fractionations in rivers are mainly related to precipitation and dissolution of carbonate minerals, silicate mineral hydrolysis, adsorption on mineral or colloidal matter surface, and plant uptake. Generally, the contribution of carbonate minerals dissolution or precipitation is equal to add or reduce magnesium from carbonate endmember, which has a remarkably negative δ²⁶Mg value. Based on the fact that most clay minerals are rich in ²⁶Mg during nature silicate mineral hydrolysis, then it is possible to infer that residual weathering products enrich in ²⁶Mg. However, there is no significant Mg isotope fractionation causing by the adsorption on mineral or colloidal matter surface during river water migration. For the plant uptake, the root prefers to have ²⁶Mg, leading the plant itself rich in heavier Mg isotopic composition. In addition, formation of secondary minerals in rivers could also reflect the changes of chemical parameters in rivers (such as major elements, CO₂ solubility, pH, etc.). Hence, Mg isotopic composition in rivers and associated isotope fractionations are not only the basis for the application of magnesium isotope to trace surface material cycle, but also have important significance for the further understanding the geochemical cycle of magnesium isotopes.     

Climatic and lithologic controls on the temporal and spatial variability of CO2 consumption via chemical weathering: An example from the Australian Victorian Alps

A detailed geochemical study on river waters of the Australian Victorian Alps was carried out to determine: (i) the relative significance of silicate, carbonate, evaporite and sulfide weathering in controlling the major ion composition and; (ii) the factors regulating seasonal and spatial variations of CO₂ consumption via silicate weathering in the catchments. Major ion chemistry implies that solutes are largely derived from evaporation of precipitation and chemical weathering of carbonate and silicate lithologies. The input of solutes from rock weathering was determined by calculating the contribution of halite dissolution and atmospheric inputs using local rain and snow samples. Despite the lack of carbonate outcrops in the study area and waters being undersaturated with respect to calcite, the dissolution of vein calcite accounts for up to 67% of the total dissolved cations, generating up to 90% of dissolved Ca and 97% of Mg. Dissolved sulfate has δ³⁴S values of 16 to 20‰_CDT, indicating that it is derived predominantly from atmospheric deposition and minor gypsum weathering and not from bacterial reduction of FeS₂. This militates against sulphuric acid weathering in Victorian rivers. Ratios of Si vs. the atmospheric corrected Na and K concentrations range from ~ 1.1 to ~ 4.3, suggesting incongruent weathering from plagioclase to smectite, kaolinite and gibbsite.Estimated long-term average CO₂ fluxes from silicate weathering range from ~ 0.012 × 10⁶ to 0.039 × 10⁶ mol/km²/yr with the highest values in rivers draining the basement outcrops rather than sedimentary rocks. This is about one order of magnitude below the global average which is due to low relief, and the arid climate in that region. Time series measurements show that exposure to lithology, high physical erosion and long water–rock contact times dominate CO₂ consumption fluxes via silicate weathering, while variations in water temperature are not overriding parameters controlling chemical weathering. Because the atmospheric corrected concentrations of Na, K and Mg act non-conservative in Victorian rivers the parameterizations of weathering processes, and net CO₂ consumption rates in particular, based on major ion abundances, should be treated with skepticism.     

雅鲁藏布江丰水期河水离子组成特征及其控制因素

为了解雅鲁藏布江丰水期河水离子组成特征及其控制因素,利用2015年采集的8个河水水样,运用数理统计、聚类分析、Piper三线图、Gibbs模型以及离子比值等方法,分析了雅鲁藏布江丰水期河水水化学特征,并探讨了其主要控制因素。结果表明：河水中阳离子以Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺为主,阴离子则以HCO₃^-和SO₄^2-为主,阴、阳离子分别约占其总量的96%和85%。河水水化学类型均为HCO₃·SO₄-Ca·Mg型。TDS含量介于202.46~371.27 mg·L^-1,均值为299.30 mg·L^-1,较世界河流平均值高。自上至下,河水水化学特征表现出一定的差异性,河水中主要离子以及TDS、TH、EC的含量沿程表现出下降的趋势,其原因主要有支流河水汇入和降水增加的稀释作用。河水水样均落在Gibbs模型图中部偏左,表明河水中主要离子化学组分主要受水岩作用控制。离子比值法分析表明研究区碳酸盐岩以及蒸发岩的风化溶解是河水水化学的主要控制因素,且存在硅酸盐类矿物的风化。     

Understanding the Cyclicity of Chemical Weathering and Associated CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> Consumption in the Brahmaputra River Basin (India): The Role of Major Rivers in Climate Change Mitigation Perspective

Weathering of rocks that regulate the water chemistry of the river has been used to evaluate the CO₂ consumption rate which exerts a strong influence on the global climate. The foremost objective of the present research is to estimate the chemical weathering rate (CWR) of the continental water in the entire stretch of Brahmaputra River from upstream to downstream and their associated CO₂ consumption rate. To establish the link between the rapid chemical weathering and thereby enhance CO₂ drawdown from the atmosphere, the major ion composition of the Brahmaputra River that drains the Himalaya has been obtained. Major ion chemistry of the Brahmaputra River was resolved on samples collected from nine locations in pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon seasons for two cycles: cycle I (2011–2012) and cycle II (2013–2014). The physico-chemical parameters of water samples were analysed by employing standard methods. The Brahmaputra River was characterized by alkalinity, high concentration of Ca²⁺ and HCO₃ ^? along with significant temporal variation in major ion composition. In general, it was found that water chemistry of the river was mainly controlled by rock weathering with minor contributions from atmospheric and anthropogenic sources. The effective CO₂ pressure (log\({{\text{P}}_{{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}}}\)) for pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon has been estimated. The question of rates of chemical weathering (carbonate and silicate) was addressed by using TDS and run-off (mm year^?1). It has been found that the extent of CWR is directly dependent on the CO₂ consumption rate which may be further evaluated from the perspective of climate change mitigation The average annual CO₂ consumption rate of the Brahmaputra River due to silicate and carbonate weathering was found to be 0.52 (×10⁶ mol Km^?2 year^?1) and 0.55 (×10⁶ mol Km^?2 year^?1) for cycle I and 0.49 (×10⁶ mol Km^?2 year^?1) and 0.52 (×10⁶ mol Km^?2 year^?1) for cycle II, respectively, which were significantly higher than that of other Himalayan rivers. Estimation of CWR of the Brahmaputra River indicates that carbonate weathering largely dominates the water chemistry of the Brahmaputra River.     

Geochemical mass balance and weathering rates of ultramafic schists in Amazonia

The hydrochemical balance of the Yaou catchment in French Guiana was determined over a period of 1 year, combined with a detailed characterization of the primary minerals and their weathering products, in order to estimate ultramafic rock weathering rates in a rainforest environment. The time required to develop the main horizons of the laterite profile was obtained from estimations of the weathering rates and dissolution kinetics of some major parent minerals (chlorite, serpentine, biotite, calcite).

The specific transport of solute matter in the catchment is 205 kg/ha/a. The Cl and NO₃ net outputs shows that the system is in dynamic equilibrium, notably with respect to the biomass reservoir. The output flux of Mg in solution is mainly supplied from the weathering of primary minerals, whereas that of Ca comes both from atmospheric contributions and from the dissolution of carbonates. The fluxes of K and, more particularly, Na derive essentially from the atmosphere. Knowing the weathering rate of primary minerals, the total CO₂ consumption rate by silicate weathering is estimated at 1430 mol/ha/a.

The weathering rates of chlorite, serpentine and biotite range from 18 to 65 mol/ha/a, and those of talc and calcite are, respectively 51 and 153 mol/ha/a. Weathering rates normalized to mineral modal proportions give a decreasing order of stability resistance to weathering (calcitebiotitechlorite>serpentine>talc) that agrees with their vertical distribution in the weathering profile. The dissolution kinetics of chlorite, biotite and serpentine, expressed in relation to the Si release rate, were calculated using estimations of the mineral exchange surface by (a) optical microscope image processing of crystal outlines, and (b) BET specific surface measurements. The release rate of Si, computed for biotite, chlorite and serpentine, ranges around 10⁻¹³ and 10⁻¹⁴ mol/m²/s using microscope images on particle sizes. The estimated dissolution kinetics is two orders of magnitude lower when using the BET measured exchange surface, which is 100 times larger.

The saprolitization rate, calculated from the weathering rates of calcite, chlorite and biotite, is on average 7.5 m/Ma. The rate of latosol development, calculated from the weathering rate of serpentine at the saprolite–latosol interface, is estimated at 4.5 m/Ma. That means that the profile is chemically thickening at a rate of 3 m/Ma.     

三峡澎溪河水域CO2与CH4年总通量估算

以2010年6月~2011年5月三峡澎溪河回水区CO₂与CH₄通量监测数据为基础,参考澎溪河高阳平湖水域全年4次的24 h昼夜连续跟踪观测结果,对每月各采样点的日通量值进行估算。提出了水下地形划分法和环境因素控制法,将各采样点日通量数据外延至整个回水区水域,并估算了澎溪河回水区水域CO₂与CH₄年总通量值。研究期间,澎溪河回水区全年各采样点CO₂通量均值为(3.05±0.46)mmol/(m2·h);CH₄为(0.050 1±0.009 6)mmol/(m2·h)。以水下地形法为基础,该水域全年CO₂和CH₄总通量分别为40 060.5 t和540.9 t;以环境因素控制法为基础,全年CO₂与CH₄总通量分别为39 073.0 t和467.2 t。以环境要素控制法为参考,该水域CO₂全年平均释放强度为43.26 mmol/(m2·d),在全球水库数据序列中处于中等略偏高水平,CH₄全年平均释放强度为1.42 mmol/(m2·d),在全球水库序列中处于中等水平。     

未来百年全球气候变化分析

未来百年全球气候变化的影响是当前学术界激烈争议的议题,深入探讨全球气候变化的驱动机理才能正确认识全球气候变化。持续生长的青藏高原吸收了巨量的CO₂,导致大气中CO₂浓度大幅下降,使地球从温室气候进入到以冰期、间冰期交替出现为特征的冰室气候,青藏高原成为新生碳储库。在间冰期,青藏高原和蒙古高原将淡水输送到中低纬度内陆区(以下简称内陆区),导致内陆区的硅酸岩化学风化强烈,植被和湖相沉积发育,吸收了巨量大气CO₂,是碳汇; 在冰期,青藏高原、蒙古高原将内陆区表层淡水与尘埃最终输送到高纬度地区,导致内陆区荒漠化,对大气CO₂的吸收量远小于其自身的排放量,内陆区成为碳源,使大气CO₂浓度上升。这是中新世以来大气CO₂浓度维持低浓度、准动态平衡的机理。地表平均温度的变化驱动了淡水在高、低纬度地区之间循环。人类巨量碳排放使全球大气CO₂浓度暂时快速上扬,全球变暖,淡水回到内陆区,导致内陆区变绿,硅酸岩化学风化作用增强,吸收大气CO₂的能力大幅提高,内陆区又变成碳汇,抑制大气CO₂浓度的进一步上升; 初步测算,最早2050年、最迟2090年,当大气CO₂浓度达到(510±40)×10^-6时,其快速上升的趋势将得到抑制; 未来百年尺度的全球气候变化受地球和太阳内部的构造活动所驱动,是周期性变化的、是可预测。     

Some Opinions on Rock-Weathering-Related Carbon Sinks from the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report

Many recent researches show that rock-weathering-related carbon sink, especially carbonate-weathering-related carbon sink, actively takes part in the modern global carbon cycle, which might greatly contribute to balancing global carbon budget. Some new opinions on flux, time scale and effect of rock-weathering-related carbon sink were released in IPCC fifth Assessment Report (AR5). The flux of global rock-weathering-related carbon sink is about 0.4 Pg C/a in AR5 report, which accounts for about 1/2~1/3 of unbalanced global carbon budget. New time scale of global rock-weathering-related carbon sink was released. Time scale of silicate-weathering-related carbon sink is 10⁴~ 10⁶ year, while carbonate-weathering-related carbon sink (karst processes) is 10³~10⁴ year. A highlight is that rock-weathering-related carbon sink is listed as one of four carbon dioxide removal methods in AR5 report, whose time scale is 10²~ 10³ year. Although AR5 report released these new opinions, it is still thought that the rate of global rock-weathering-related carbon sink is currently too small to offset the rate at which fossil fuel CO₂ is being emitted. According to many researches in the field of rock weathering science in the past decades, this review discussed the shortage in carbon flux, time scale and effect of rock-weathering-related carbon sink in AR5 report. Many recent researches indicated that the carbon sink originated from carbonate rock weathering was a fast and sensitive geochemical process, which showed multiple time scales (diel, seasonal, annual or storm event). A new model based on H₂O carbonate-CO₂-aquatic phototroph interaction was established, which coupled geological, land surface water, and submerged phototroph carbon cycle process. The global carbon sink from carbonate rock weathering in new model is 0.477 Pg C/a,which accounts for about 39%~59% of unbalanced global carbon budget. Some key scientific issues on rate, stability, controlling mechanisms and scaling of rock-weathering-related carbon sink should be vitally concerned in the future, which could greatly contribute to balancing the global carbon budget.     

外源水和外源酸对万华岩地下河系统岩溶碳汇效应的影响

流域的岩石化学风化过程是全球碳循环中的重要环节。近年来流域水化学碳汇通量估算已越来越多地关注到外源水(硅酸盐风化)及外源酸对全球碳循环的影响。文章选取万华岩地下河流域为研究区,流域硅酸盐岩和碳酸盐岩分布面积占比为64%和36%,于2017年对洞口进行为期一年的取样监测,并分别于4月和9月对万华岩地下河系统内13个水点的离子组成进行监测,利用水化学平衡法和Galy模型,对流域岩石化学风化速率和CO2消耗通量进行了计算,对万华岩地下河系统的岩石风化和碳循环过程进行了分析。结果表明,万华岩地下河系统岩石风化消耗CO2的速率为31.02 t·(km2·a)-1;以碳酸岩风化为主,其风化速率为硅酸盐溶蚀的20倍;流域内碳酸盐岩风化对CO2消耗量占到整个流域的92.16%;不同岩石风化类型对碳通量的贡献率以碳酸溶解碳酸盐岩最大,为87.06%;流域上游的外源水对岩溶碳汇具有巨大的促进作用,外源水汇入后碳酸盐岩碳汇速率可以达到无外源水汇入流域的2倍;硫酸溶解碳酸盐岩次之,为9.24%;碳酸风化硅酸盐岩最小,为3.7%,在计算流域碳汇量的时候应将硫酸参与岩石风化的影响去除。     

Weathering processes in the Indus River Basin: implications from riverine carbon, sulfur, oxygen, and strontium isotopes

This study deals with the major ions and isotope systematics for C, O, S, and Sr in the Indus River Basin (IRB). Major ion chemistry of the Indus, and most of its headwater tributaries, follow the order Ca²⁺>Mg²⁺>(Na⁺+K⁺) and HCO₃⁻>(SO₄²⁻+Cl⁻)>Si. In the lowland tributaries and in some of the Punjab rivers, however, (Na⁺+K⁺) and (SO₄²⁻+Cl⁻) predominate. Cyclic salts, important locally for Na⁺ in dilute headwater tributaries, constitute about 5% of the annual solutes transported by the Indus. Weathering of two lithologies, sedimentary carbonates and crystalline rocks, controls the dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) concentrations and its carbon isotope systematics throughout the Indus, but turbulent flow and lower temperatures in the headwaters, and storage in reservoirs in the middle and lower Indus promote some equlibration with atmospheric carbon dioxide. Combined evidence from sulfur and oxygen isotopic composition of sulfates refutes the proposition that dissolution of these minerals plays a significant role in the IRB hydrochemistry and suggests that any dissolved sulfates were derived by oxidation of sulfide minerals.

In the upper Indus, silicate weathering contributes as much as 75% (or even higher in some tributaries) of the total Na⁺ and K⁺, declining to less than 40% as the Indus exits the orogen. In contrast, about two-thirds of Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ in the upper Indus (over 70% in some tributaries) and three-fourth in the lower Indus, are derived from sedimentary carbonates. The ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios tend to rise with increasing proportions of silicate derived cations in the headwater tributaries and in the upper and middle Indus, but are out of phase or reversed in the lower Indus. Finally, close to the river mouth, the discharge weighted average contribution of silicate derived Ca²⁺+Mg²⁺ and silicate derived Na⁺+K⁺ are, respectively, about one-fourth and two-thirds of their total concentrations.
