九江市蓼花剖面风沙与湖相沉积记录的末次冰期中晚期气候变化特征

Characteristics of climate changes in the mid-late of the Last Glacial Period recorded by aeolian sand and lacustrine sediments in Liaohua section of Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province

  • 摘要: 在鄱阳湖入江水道两侧和赣江下游沿岸,广泛分布着一系列特定气候条件下形成的沙山,其发育的湖相沉积与风成沙互层沉积成为区域古气候环境重建的重要载体。本文以鄱阳湖西侧蓼花剖面的“湖相-古土壤-沙丘砂”沉积序列为研究对象,通过光释光和14C测年建立了年代序列,探讨末次冰期中晚期(48.8~14.5 ka)的古气候变化特征。粒度、磁化率和重矿物记录表明:① 沙丘砂层磁化率低,平均粒径最粗,成熟度指数较低而风化指数和单矿物特征指数较高,表明风化程度较低,形成于寒冷干燥的冬季风强盛气候条件下;古土壤层磁化率高,Mz最细,ZTR指数较高,HW和GZi指数较低,说明风化程度较高,形成于温暖湿润的夏季风较强的气候环境;湖相层磁化率最低,Mz较细,ZTR指数较高而HW和GZi指数比其他沉积相低,形成于暖期的还原环境下,风化作用强烈。② 剖面在末次冰期中晚期气候经历了显著的阶段性变化:早期(48.8~39.5 ka)为寒冷干燥期,冬季风强盛;中期(39.5~28.1 ka)转为温暖湿润期,夏季风占主导;晚期(28.1~14.5 ka)再次进入寒冷干燥期,但存在短暂的暖湿波动,为区域气候环境变迁研究提供了新依据。

     

    Abstract: A series of sand hills formed under specific climatic conditions and are widely distributed on both sides of the river channel of Poyang Lake and the lower reaches of Ganjiang River. The developed lacustrine and aeolian sand interbedded sediments is important information for the reconstruction of regional paleoclimatic environment. The “lacustrine-paleosol-dune sand” sedimentary sequence in the Liaohua section on the west side of Poyang Lake was studied. The chronological sequence was established using OSL and 14C dating, and the characteristics of paleoclimate change during the mid-late of the Last Glacial Period (48.8~14.5 ka) were discussed. Results show that, (1) the dune sand layer exhibits low magnetic susceptibility; the coarsest mean grain size (Mz), low zircon-tourmaline-rutile index (ZTR), and high values of the heavy mineral weathering index (HW) and the garnet-zircon index (GZi), indicate low degree of weathering and formation under cold-dry conditions with strong winter monsoon activity. The paleosol layer displayed high magnetic susceptibility, and the finest Mz, higher ZTR index, and lower HW and GZi indices, indicate a higher degree of weathering and formation in a warm-humid climate dominated by summer monsoon. The lacustrine facies has the lowest magnetic susceptibility, finer Mz, higher ZTR index, and the lowest HW and GZi indices compared to the other sedimentary facies, indicating a reducing environment during warm periods, during which weathering was intense. (2) The climate during the mid-late of the Last Glacial Period underwent significant periodic changes: the early stage (48.8~39.5 ka) was cold and dry, with a strong winter monsoon; the middle stage (39.5~28.1 ka) transitioned to a warm and humid period dominated by the summer monsoon; and the late stage (28.1~14.5 ka) re-entered a cold and dry period but exhibited short-term warm and wet fluctuations. These findings provide new insights for studying regional climate and environmental changes.
