摘要/Abstract

摘要： 上新世−更新世过渡期是新生代全球气候变化的重要拐点之一, 此期气候经历了由“暖室”向“冰室”的转变。研究该气候转型期的特征可为科学界和国家层面应对现在和未来的全球气候变暖提供理论基础和实践指导。通过深入研究中国华北山西榆社盆地张村组上新世−更新世过渡期地层中保存的植物大化石、孢粉以及硅藻组合, 为重建该时段陆地生态系统中植被演替和气候变化提供坚实的生物学证据。在综合回顾张村组化石植物研究历史的基础上, 侧重介绍最近5年在古植被、古气候、古环境以及古大气CO₂浓度重建等方面的最新进展。这些新成果定性及定量地刻画了第三纪−第四纪之交中国北方黄土高原东南缘气候变干、变凉的转型过程及其陆地生态系统中大气CO₂浓度先升后降的变化趋势。

关键词: 气候变化, 中国华北, 古大气CO₂, 上新世?更新世过渡期, 古植被, 榆社盆地

Abstract: The Plio-Pleistocene transition is a key time interval with a remarkable climate switch from “greenhouse” to “icehouse” conditions across the Tertiary-Quaternary boundary. The plant megafossils, pollen-spores and diatom assemblages found in Plio-Pleistocene deposits of Zhangcun Lake, Yushe Basin, on the eastern edge of the Chinese Loess Plateau, provide a chance to reconstruct and interpret the vegetation, climate and environmental changes in North China. Here we briefly review the discoveries and research history of fossil plants and introduce the recent 5 years’ research highlights of the reconstruction of paleovegetation, paleoclimate, paleoatmospheric CO₂level and paleolake evolution. Those findings during the transition qualitatively and quantitatively (1) reflect a turning point towards cool and dry climate; (2) reveal a high peak of [CO₂]_atm with a new terrestrial-based proxy of stomatal index on leaves of Typha orientalis, thereby indicating transient interstadial phase; and (3) show a remarkable salinity shift from carbonate to sulfate in Yushe Basin based on the change in diatom assemblages, which indicates a significant aridification about 2.6 Ma on the east Loess Plateau of China.
