杭州湾表层沉积物中有孔虫分布特征及其环境意义

对杭州湾海域239个表层沉积物样品进行了有孔虫鉴定分析,共鉴定出底栖有孔虫71种,浮游有孔虫6种。研究结果表明杭州湾表层沉积物中有孔虫丰度值偏低,最高丰度仅41枚/克干样,且以底栖有孔虫占绝对优势,浮游有孔虫很少;杭州湾表层沉积物中的有孔虫以异地搬运沉积为主,主要以广盐广适的属种和小个体的海相属种为优势种,如Ammonia beccarii,Ammonia annectens,Quinqueloculia lamarckiana,Elphidium advenum,Spiroloculina communis,Pararotalia nipponica,Poroeponides lateralis等;并根据属种分布特征划分了两个底栖有孔虫组合分区。     

南海中部海区表层沉积中有孔虫的初步研究

本文根据南海中部海区53个表层沉积物样的有孔虫分析,初步确定了六个底栖有孔虫组合和五个亚组合,而浮游有孔虫可分为四个不同水深的组合。控制本区有孔虫分布的主要因素是深海碳酸盐溶解作用、水团、海底地形以及残留沉积。     

渤海东北海域有孔虫埋葬群特点与沉积环境的关系

对渤海东北海域211个表层样品中有孔虫的定量和定性分析,共得底栖有孔虫48属109种,浮游有孔虫匮乏。对底栖有孔虫中58个种运用Q型因子分析,经方差最大化旋转,获得3个主因子的方差累计贡献为98.62%。组合Ⅰ为毕克卷转虫变种-冷水面颊虫,代表低温低盐沿岸流分布的滨岸环境;组合Ⅱ为异常诺宁虫-伊格尔虫未定种,代表黏土粉砂沉积物分布的近岸浅海;组合Ⅲ为压扁卷转虫-覆盖面颊虫,代表30m水深线以外的较深水环境。研究区有孔虫埋葬群分布主要受冬季低温低盐沿岸流、沉积物分布、潮流、沉积速率及CaCO3含量等因素的控制。     

北黄海表层沉积物中的底栖有孔虫分布与海洋环境

对2006年8月取自北黄海的302个表层沉积物样品中的底栖有孔虫群落进行了分析,结果表明:北黄海底栖有孔虫群落以适应低温、低盐的冷水种和广温、广盐种为主,胶结质壳底栖有孔虫含量明显高于我国其他海区。利用Q型因子分析提取了5个主因子,通过将主因子代表的底栖有孔虫组合与环境影响因子之间的对比印证,揭示了其内在联系,北黄海底栖有孔虫分布的决定性因素是表层沉积物的粒度,而温度和盐度则起到次要作用,该海区水深变化对底栖有孔虫分布的影响没有明显的规律性。     

冲绳海槽北部表层沉积物中底栖有孔虫分布及其与海洋环境的关系

对1999年6月采自冲绳海槽北部的62个表层沉积物样品进行了底栖有孔虫分析。研究表明，该区属种多为中外陆架和上部陆坡常见底栖有孔虫，其中Cibicides pseudoungerianus在研究区域内广泛分布。底栖有孔虫群落明显受研究区水团的制约，该区底栖有孔虫Q型因子分析反映的4个组合分别对应不同的水团影响：组合1以Cibicides pseudoungerianus、Uvigerina sp.、Ammonia ketienziensis、Textularia pseudocarinata为主，代表陆架混合水团影响环境；组合2以Uvigerina peregrina、Beregrina、Bulimina mexicana、Bulimina submarginata、Globocassidulina subglobosa为主，代表黑潮暖流中层水影响下的环境；组合3以喜营养分子Bulimina marginata和Bolivina robusta为主，代表冷涡沉积和上升流沉积区的环境；组合4以Cibicides pseudoungerianus、Globocassidulina subglobosa为主，代表了对马暖流水团影响下的环境，其中水团的氧含量水平和营养状况是影响底栖有孔虫组合变化的主要因素。底栖有孔虫的丰度从西往东依次出现两个丰度高值带，一个位于研究区西部100—140m水深的陆架区，另一个位于400—600m水深的上陆坡，后者可能反映了冲绳海槽大陆坡普遍发育的陆坡上升流现象。     

西北冰洋表层沉积物中的底栖有孔虫组合及其古环境意义

通过对中国第1~4次北极考察在西北冰洋采集的表层沉积物中底栖有孔虫丰度及其优势种分布特征与环境因素关系的综合研究发现,楚科奇海区低的底栖有孔虫丰度主要受较高的陆源物质输入的稀释作用影响;楚科奇海台和阿尔法脊较高的底栖有孔虫丰度主要受到暖而咸的大西洋中层水的影响;受碳酸钙溶解作用影响的门捷列夫深海平原和加拿大海盆底栖有孔虫丰度较低,并且水深3 597 m的站位出现了似瓷质壳的Pyrgo williamsoni和Quinqueloculina orientalis,说明该区的CCD深度大于3 600 m。根据底栖有孔虫7个优势属种的百分含量分布特征可以划分出5个区域组合:南楚科奇海陆架-白令海峡组合以优势种Elphidium excavatum和Buccella frigida为特征,可能反映受白令海陆架水影响的浅水环境;阿拉斯加沿岸-波弗特海组合以优势种Florilus scaphus和Elphidium albiumbilicatum为特征,可能反映受季节性海冰融化,低盐的阿拉斯加沿岸流以及河流淡水输入的低盐环境;大西洋中层水组合以优势种Cassidulina laevigata为特征,可能反映高温高盐的大西洋中层水影响的环境;北极深层水组合以优势种Cibicides wuellerstorfi为特征,可能反映水深大于1 500 m低温高盐的北极深层水环境;门捷列夫深海平原组合以优势种Oridorsalis umbonatus为特征,可能反映低营养的底层水环境。     

台湾海峡西北部表层沉积物中有孔虫分布对沿岸上升流存在的响应

对台湾海峡西北部福建平潭岛附近海域337个表层沉积物样品中的有孔虫进行分析鉴定,研究结果表明浮游有孔虫优势种Globigerinoides sacculifer、G.ruber、Globigerina bulloides的分布及底栖有孔虫组合受到不同水团的影响。根据浮游有孔虫上升流指示种G.bulloides、底栖有孔虫组合和高营养盐深水种的分布特征,对研究区受夏季沿岸上升流的影响范围和程度进行评估。研究区沿岸上升流主要分布于东南部水深大于40m的海域及平潭岛东部水深20m附近,最远可达水深低于10m的海湾内部分区域,但强度相对减弱,水深较浅的陆地和岛屿边缘附近未受沿岸上升流影响。平潭岛东北部到南日岛西南部水深10~30m部分区域由于受到冬季浙闽沿岸流的影响,沿岸上升流在该区域的沉积记录缺失。     

人工半封闭港湾有孔虫埋葬群空间分布研究--以江苏连云港港区为例

连云港港区60个表层沉积样品的定量分析表明,与港区水动力、底形等沉积环境条件相适应,该区有孔虫埋葬群可分为口门、湾中、湾顶三大群个组合,并可进一步区分出若干六个亚类组合：（A）湾项浅水区——丰度值最低,胶结壳有孔虫含量最高,活体含量高;（B）鸽岛沉积区——与A紧邻,但以丰度值高相区别;（C）西岸码头深水区——水深,丰度高,活体少,浮游个体多;（D）东侧浅水区——水浅,埋葬群特征与C相近;（E）涨潮三角洲区--沉积物粒径小,丰度高,胶结壳含量最低;（F）口门高能区——以沉积物粒径较低区别于E区.     

楚科奇海与白令海表层沉积中的钙质和硅质微体化石研究

通过对北冰洋楚科奇海和令海41个表层沉积样品中的有孔虫、介形类等钙质微体化石和硅藻、放射虫、海绵骨针等硅质微体化石的定量分析，发现表层沉积中浮游有孔虫几乎缺失，这可能与该区表层生产力相对低、碳酸盐溶解作用较强有关，而底栖有孔虫和硅质微体化石的丰度分布则明显受表层沉积物类型、表层初级生物生产力和碳酸盐溶解作用所控制。其中，北冰洋楚科奇海陆架区有孔虫丰度和分异度低，含少量浅水介形类，放射虫在陆架浅水区缺失，但含有较多硅藻和海绵骨针等其它硅质微体化石，反映该区由于海冰、表层海水温度较冷而导致表歧初级生产力相对低。白令海陆坡区底栖有孔虫丰度比较科奇海高一个数量级，底栖有孔虫分异度也相对高，硅藻、放射虫、海绵骨针等硅质微体化石的丰度与钙质化石一样，其丰度比楚科奇海明显高，反映表层初级生产力相对高。根据白令海陆坡区底栖有孔虫和硅质微体化石丰度、底栖有孔虫胶结质壳比值的水深变化，推测该区碳酸盐溶跃层和补偿深度（CCD）相对浅，分别位于水深2000m和3800m处。     

白令海和楚科奇海表层沉积中的有孔虫及其沉积环境

通过对白令海和北冰洋楚科奇海39个表层沉积样品中有孔虫的定量分析,发现表层沉积中浮游有孔虫稀少可能与该区表层生产力低、碳酸盐溶解作用较强有关,而底栖有孔虫的分布则主要受表层初级生产力以及与水深相关的碳酸盐溶解作用和水团性质所控制,其中北冰洋楚科奇海陆架区有孔虫以Elphidium spp.组合和Nonionella robusta组合为主,丰度和分异度低,受北冰洋沿岸水团控制;白令海陆坡区有孔虫以Uvigerina peregrina-Globobulimina affinis组合为主,含N.robusta较多,丰度和分异度相对高,受太平洋中层和深层水团控制,但该区碳酸盐溶跃层和补偿深度(CCD)相对浅,约分别位于2000和3800m处.此外,白令海陆坡上部表层沉积中含有北冰洋陆坡区典型深水底栖有孔虫种Stetsonia arctica,说明白令海峡两侧的海区曾有深部水交流.     

Are foraminifers (Protozoa) important food for small isopods (Crustacea) in the deep sea?

Gut contents of three small (<6 mm) species of munnopsid asellote isopod crustaceans (Echinozone arctica, Ilyarachna bergendali and I. torleivi) from bathyal depths in the Nordic Seas were examined. The species feed mainly on benthic foraminifers, and their gut contents reflect the functional capability of the mouthparts in partitioning the food. Fragments of small and fragile calcareous foraminifer protozoans and small hard agglutinating foraminifers were most important in the guts of Echinozone arctica, which has rounded mandibular molar process, suited for crunching the foraminifers. Dark- and light-gray stercomata (foraminifer fecal pellets) from soft agglutinating foraminifers were most important in the guts of Ilyarachna bergendali, whose molar process has a wide crunching cusp and a sharp cutting edge. The gut contents of Ilyarachna torleivi were similar to the contents of I. bergendali, but differed somewhat from those of E. arctica. The results indicate that foraminiferivory may be common among small munnopsid asellote isopods and that the isopods may specialize in certain foraminifer species or genera. The strength of the foraminifer test may be an important aid against predation. This study indicates that small, yet poorly known, soft-shelled and agglutinating foraminifers with a low nutritional value may be important as food for deep-water isopods and that foraminifers may be an important link between phytodetritus and the macrofauna.     

Ecology of benthic foraminifers in the littoral zone of Iturup Island

The composition and abundance of present-day benthic foraminifers in the littoral zone of Iturup Island are examined. The littoral zone is surveyed on the sides of both the Sea of Okhotsk and the Pacific Ocean. The greatest species diversity and the maximum foraminifer abundance were observed on the bench and at the sites of attachment of seaweeds and aquatic plants on silted sands and on sands with an admixture of coquina, silt, and detritus from the adjacent coast. The minimum diversity and abundance are confined to the mouths of rivers and creeks; over rocky plates, where sediments cannot be retained and there are no attached seaweeds and aquatic plants; and in areas not protected from wind-wave action. It was stated that the foraminifer assemblages on the sides of the Sea of Okhotsk and the Pacific Ocean differ both in their species diversity and in their population density over the littoral zone. A morphological comparison between the species Buccella granulata and B. inusitata from different areas of the Sea of Okhotsk and the Pacific Ocean is presented.     

Possible waterways between the Marmara Sea and the Black Sea in the late Quaternary: evidence from ostracod and foraminifer assemblages in lakes ?znik and Sapanca, Turkey

In this study, the fossil microfaunal composition of 28 Recent sediment samples from Lake İznik and 19 samples from Lake Sapanca was investigated. The presence of at least ten marine ostracod and 23 foraminifer species in the sediments of Lake İznik, and at least one marine ostracod and two foraminifer species in the sediments of Lake Sapanca confirm that these lakes must have been connected to the world ocean sometime during the late Quaternary. The most obvious former link between these lakes and the Mediterranean Sea would have been via the Marmara Sea with an eastward extension of the Gemlik and İzmit bays. The proximity of Lake Sapanca to the lower course of the Sakarya River, however, also supports earlier suggestions that there may have been a temporary connection with the Black Sea via this river valley. Whatever the case, the findings of this study clearly demonstrate that vertical tectonic movements need to be taken into account when reconstructing the late Quaternary sea-level history of this region.     

南海北部盛冰期以来古海洋环境变化的沉积记录

利用气候替代指标U₃₇k-SST,浮游有孔虫Globigerinoides ruber的δ18O,δ13C,微体古生物种群变化、陆源和生源组分以及沉积物粒径等,对南海北部69孔沉积物进行综合研究.结果表明U₃₇k-SST在冰后期为23.3～26.9℃,在末次盛冰期时为22.2～23.8℃.用浮游有孔虫转换函数法对季节温差进行估算,在冰后期为4.5～7.0℃,在末次冰期为7.0～9.0℃,两种估温法均反映了古气候变化相应的海水表层温度.69柱沉积物地层记录在末次盛冰期浮游有孔虫温带优势种Neogloboguadrina pachyderma和营养种Neogloboguadrina dutertrei丰度一致增加;热带优势种Pulleniatina obliqueloculata和Globigerinoide sacculifer以及超微化石丰度则相应减少,而冰后期则相反.浮游有孔虫、钙质超微化石组成和数量的改变也为古海洋温度升、降提供了直接的证据.研究还表明南海北部冰后期以河流搬运为主,末次盛冰期时以风力搬运占优势,这反映了冬季风强化.     

A 9-year time-series of planktonic foraminifer fluxes and environmental change in the Bering sea and the central subarctic Pacific Ocean, 1990–1999

A 9-year study of planktonic foraminifer fluxes was conducted in the Bering Sea (Station AB) and in the central subarctic Pacific (Station SA). Results clearly reflected variations of the water mass characteristics in the upper layers. The 9-year means of total foraminifer fluxes were the same (1400 shells m⁻² d⁻¹) at both stations. However, total foraminifer flux at Station AB tended to show its primary maximum during fall (October–December) and its secondary maximum in spring (April–June), whereas the primary maximum appeared in spring and the secondary maximum in fall at Station SA. Seasonal variation was more apparent at hemipelagic Station AB than at pelagic Station SA. Planktonic foraminifers found at both stations were of six species: Neogloboquadrina pachyderma, Globigerina umbilicata, Globigerinita glutinata, Globigerina quinqueloba, Globorotalia wilesi, and Orbulina universa. The foraminifer assemblages at the two stations reflected the temperature difference in the surface waters. The variable %G. umbilicata tended to be high in the warm surface waters during the summers. The temporal and geographical variation of %G. quinqueloba indicated that this taxon prefers regions with relatively low diatom fluxes. A notable appearance of O. universa occurred in 1997 at Station SA. During this period, other measured biogenic particle fluxes, such as those of diatoms, were low. This unusual 1997 event may be a reflection of global climatic change that happened to be observed in the central subarctic Pacific Ocean.     

Benthic foraminifer communities of the Persian Gulf

Eighteen types of benthic foraminifer communities inhabiting depths of 0–200 m are described for the Persian Gulf including the analysis of 269 sampling sites. The species area is mostly localized by the geographical position and bathymetrical features, including the water masses advection, the upwelling, the river discharge, and the concentrations of CaCo₃ and C_org in the bottom sediments.     

Seasonal variation of pteropods from the Western Arabian Sea sediment trap

Sediment trap samples collected from the Western Arabian Sea yielded a rich assemblage of intact and non-living (opaque white) pteropod tests from a water depth of 919 m during January to September 1993. Nine species of pteropods were recorded, all (except one) displaying distinct seasonality in abundance, suggesting their response to changing hydrographical conditions influenced by the summer/winter monsoon cycle. Pteropod fluxes increased during the April–May peak of the intermonsoon, and reached maximum levels in the late phase of the southwest summer monsoon, probably due to the shallowing of the mixed layer depth. This shallowing, coupled with enhanced nutrient availability, provides ideal conditions for pteropod growth, also reflected in corresponding fluctuations in the flux of the foraminifer Globigerina bulloides. Pteropod/planktic foraminifer ratios displayed marked seasonal variations, the values increasing during the warmer months of April and May when planktic foraminiferal fluxes declined. The variation in fluxes of calcium carbonate, organic carbon and biogenic opal show positive correlations with fluxes of pteropods and planktic foraminifers. Calcium carbonate was the main contributor to the total particulate flux, especially during the SW monsoon. In the study area, pteropod flux variations are similar to the other flux patterns, indicating that they, too could be used as a potential tool for palaeoclimatic reconstruction of the recent past.

本文分析测定南黄海中部两个沉积物柱状样中的有孔虫、介形虫和“C年代，对其微体古生物组合特征、沉积环境和地层年代进行了初步的探讨。有孔虫组合表明研究海域为近岸一浅海环境，其含量从下到上由缺失到出现近岸、浅海有孔虫，反映了沉积环境由陆相到滨岸相、浅海相环境的变迁；孢粉组合反映的古气候也同样经历了针、阔叶混交林一草原，到阔叶林或以阔叶树为主的针、落叶混交林的变化，反映出气候由冷干到暖干的特点。研究结果表明，所研究的柱状样沉积物下部形成于晚更新世晚期，上部属于全新世。     

Do inverted depositional sequences and allochthonous foraminifers in sediments along the Coast of Kachchh, NW India, indicate palaeostorm and/or tsunami effects?

The study of 134 subsurface sediment samples from three cores collected along the Coast of Kachchh, off Gujarat Province, NW India, shows the presence of 151 foraminifer species. Q-mode cluster analysis on foraminifer data for each core and radiocarbon dating at ten different downcore depths reveal an inverted sequence, with fine-grained sediments and small foraminifers sandwiched between normal detrital sediments at water depths of 10–20 m. It is postulated that ∼8,000 years B.P., sediments ranging in age from ∼10,000 to ∼12,000 years B.P. were eroded from deeper offshore deposits by storm/tsunami(s), and were subsequently transported and redeposited in shallow regions, resulting in an inverted sequence, followed by a normal detrital sequence deposited between ∼8,000 and ∼7,000 years B.P. A second, similar event resulted in the deposition of ∼10,000 year old sediments over a normally deposited, ∼7,000 year old sequence. The second inverted sequence was subsequently overlain by a normal sequence. It is hypothesised that the erosion and transportation of fine-grained sediments from deeper water, and their deposition in shallower water against the rule of gravity, are the result of storm/tsunami influence.
