重庆喀斯特地区现代花粉组合与植被的关系

重庆喀斯特地区4种不同地貌单元的81份表土和苔藓样品的孢粉分析结果表明:(1)研究区植物孢粉组合共由109科属组成。除金佛山外,其他植被退化严重地区样点均以草本和蕨类植物占据优势(剔除石漠化治理大量引种的马尾松、柳杉和侧柏等乔木花粉),其次是乔木植物花粉(主要为马尾松),灌木植物花粉含量很低,显示该区植被退化严重;(2)孢粉组合的PCA分析能够很好地将研究区的现代孢粉组合区分开来,较好地反映了重庆喀斯特地区不同地貌单元的植被特征,特别是石漠化区植被退化严重的孢粉组合特征。生态保护较好、自然植被发育的金佛山地区具有106科属的乔木、灌木与草本孢粉类型,以及高含量的乔木花粉,而喀斯特石漠化地区的鸡公山(46科属)、青木关镇(56科属)和南平镇(50科属)则表现为乔灌木孢粉类型较少;(3)银杉作为金佛山特有的孑遗植物,其花粉含量明显低于松属花粉,说明其花粉不利于远距离传播;(4)随着土地利用强度的增加,现代孢粉组合中乔灌木花粉含量和种类越少,草本和蕨类植物孢粉含量越多,且以耕地杂草为主。因此,土地利用方式的变化是喀斯特石漠化区次生植被及其现代孢粉组合变化的主要影响因素。研究可为重庆喀斯特地区土地利用策略的制定,重庆及其周边地区第四纪古植被、古气候和古环境重建研究,以及中国孢粉数据库建设提供基本数据和科学依据。     

新疆天山北坡地区中晚全新世古生物多样性特征

选择新疆天山北坡不同海拔高度、不同植被带和不同沉积年代的大西沟、桦树窝子、小西沟、东道海子和四厂湖剖面计算孢粉复合分异度指数,并根据已发表的有关文献中关于粒度、磁化率、烧失量等多项分析的数值整合结果探讨了本区中晚全新世以来生物多样性的时空变化和环境特征。森林草原过渡带的古生物多样性远高于高山、亚高山草甸带和荒漠带,孢粉复合分异度较高,鉴定的孢粉科属数较多。3600~3200 aB.P.、1700~1400 aB.P.、1000~600 aB.P.和450 aB.P.以来4个时段的生物多样性偏高。大西沟地区3600~3200 aB.P.期间和四厂湖地区中世纪期间气候均较湿润,其古生物多样性也较高,可见古环境演变和古生物多样性的动态变化具有相对一致性,孢粉复合分异度指数在一定程度上可以反映气候与环境的变化。但由于孢粉鉴定的精确度较差、受外来花粉的干扰等多种因素影响,使得孢粉多样性指数在反映生物多样性和古环境方面存在一定的偏差。

吉林省莫莫格泡1500年来的孢粉组合与古环境

通过对莫莫格泡人工剖面14个样品的孢粉分析笔者划分了3个孢粉带：孢粉贫乏带、蒿-藜麻黄孢粉带和蒿-藜孢粉丰富带,根据孢粉组合,HC测年和沉积相的综合分析认为莫莫格泡是1500aB．P．由古河道洼地为砂丘所堵塞形成的,它经历了河湖转换期、湖泊发育早期和湖泊稳定期,其周围植被由菊科-蒿藜草甸草原逐渐过渡为蒿藜为主的疏林草甸草原和草甸草原,古气候由冷干、温凉偏干向温凉转化,近50年来有暖干化趋势。     

上海青浦8.5kaB.P.以来植被演变与气候波动

钻孔取自上海青浦县赵巷镇,柱长19.8m,5个14C年龄(AMS测定)年代跨度从13460±60aB.P.到2660±60aB.P,但缺失全新世早期沉积。对15m以上(8.5aB.P.)部分系统采集了35孢粉样品,样品分辩率在150a左右(少数样品除外);通过有序分割并综合图谱特征划分出7个孢粉带和2个亚带,据此恢复和重建了本区8.5kaB.P以来植被变化和气候波动历史。具体结果为与现今气候相比,8.5aB.P.～8.2kaB.P.为冷干期,但气候呈上升趋势,地带性植被为含常绿阔叶树种的落叶阔叶林;8.2kaB.P.～8.0kaB.P.为暖湿期、常绿阔叶林,气候处于峰值,温度高于现今2℃左右,降雨量高于现今400mm左右;8.0kaB.P.～7.6kaB.P.为冷干期、落叶阔叶和针阔混交林,气候处于谷值,温度低于现今2℃左右,降雨量少于现今400mm左右;7.6kaB.P.～6.2kaB.P.为暖湿期、常绿阔叶林或常绿、落叶阔叶混交林;6.2kaB.P.～4.0kaB.P.为温干期、含常绿阔叶树种的落叶林或针阔混交林;4.0kaB.P.～3.0kaB.P.为温凉略湿期、含常绿阔叶的落叶阔叶林;3.0kaB.P.～1.5kaB.P.为暖湿期、常绿阔叶林,但2.6kaB.P.以来又有变冷趋势。 文中还对常绿阔叶木本孢粉与总木本孢粉的比值(E/W)的生态意义进行了讨论。     

浙江南部望东垟孢粉记录的中晚全新世植被演化历史与气候变化

本研究通过浙江南部地区高山湿地望东垟的61个孢粉样品分析结果,结合四个AMS14C年代数据构建的年代框架,初步揭示了该区域中晚全新世以来的植被演变历史与气候变化。研究表明,该区域7.4-2.1ka B.P.气候暖湿,温暖湿润的气候塑造了当时常绿阔叶针叶混交林的地带性植被,森林覆盖率高,并持续了五千多年。2.1-1.8ka B.P.为该区域气候由暖转型到冷的过渡阶段,草本植物扩张明显。1.8ka B.P.至现今,该区域气候凉偏湿,地带性植被以常绿针叶林、落叶阔叶林、草本及蕨类植物为主。显然,自7.4ka B.P.以来,该区域植被覆盖度与生态环境的变化以气候变化为主导。但是,有证据表明1.1ka B.P.以来该区域明显有了人类活动的记录,气候变化与人类活动共同塑造了该区域的植被与生态环境。

11000年以来太湖地区的植被与气候变化

根据太湖盆地３个钻孔、约自１１０００年以来的孢粉分析结果将其划分为３个阶段：１）１１０００—９０００ａＢ．Ｐ,该段虽以Ｐｉｎｕｓ为主的针叶植物占有一定的优势,但起主导作用的仍以壳斗科为主的阔叶乔木种类,尤其是其间尚含有不少的亚热带成分,推测当时该区地带性植被已为亚热带落叶常绿阔叶林,鉴于植被中尚含有少量耐寒的Ａｂｉｅｓ和Ｐｉｃｅａ,推测当时气温可能较今略低;２）９０００—５０００（５４００）ａＢ．Ｐ,该段为常绿阔叶林大发展时期,气候温暖适宜,为全新世最佳期,气温约较今高１—２Ｃ;３）５０００？ａＢ．Ｐ．－现在,孢粉组合特征显示,阔叶木本植物就总的来说呈下降趋势,尤其是亚热带成分,与其相反,针叶和一些暖温带成分的含量则略有上升,表明该段气温较前一阶段有所下降,但该阶段的植被受人类活动的影响较大。     

History of vegetation and land use from 3200 B.P. to the present in the north-west Burren,a karstic region of western Ireland

A radiocarbon-dated pollen profile provides the first evidence for the vegetation history of the north-west Burren, a karstic region in Co. Clare, western Ireland. The profile, which spans the period ca. 3200-0 B.P., shows that Corylus was the main woody species and that, apart from the later eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when woody species were almost totally cleared, it constituted a more important element in the landscape than at present. The data indicate that small populations of Quercus, Fraxinus, Betula, Alnus and possibly Ulmus were also present until at least the mid seventeenth century. Exceptionally high values of Plantago lanceolata (mostly in excess of 20% total terrestrial pollen) suggest intensive pastoral farming over most of the period. Between A.D. 200–580, a lull in activity is recorded during which woody species and, in particular, hazel scrub regenerated. The separation of pollen of cereal origin from large cereal-type pollen produced by non-cultivated grasses proved particularly problematic. Reliance has therefore been placed on the weed pollen flora as a guide to arable activity. This flora indicates that arable farming was of some importance in the Burren from A.D. 1000 onwards. The implications of the various findings for the longer term history of the rarer elements of the Burren flora and the relationship between the pollen record and the archaeological and historical evidence for settlement and land use are discussed.     

南京紫金山山麓湖泊表层沉积物的孢粉分析*

本研究对南京紫金山山麓玄武湖和前湖共17个湖泊表层沉积物样品进行孢粉分析,旨在获得花粉组合新数据,揭示湖泊表层花粉与现生植被的关系,为开展第四纪湖泊地层孢粉学研究提供现代过程的参考.研究结果表明,花粉组合在剔除非自然分布的种植木本植物干扰花粉外,主要以木本花粉的松属(Pinus)和栎属(Quercus)占优势,其他常见木本植物有枫香属(Liquidambar)、栗属/栲属/柯属(Castanea/Castanopsis/Lithocarpus)、漆树科(Anacardiaceae)等.表土孢粉谱反映了研究区周边山地丘陵针叶、常绿-落叶阔叶林为主的植被,与现生北亚热带森林植被面貌对应良好.此外,陆生草本植物花粉主要是禾本科(Poaceae)和蒿属(Artemisia),湖泊湿生植物如水鳖属(Hydrocharis)、莎草科(Cyperaceae)等含量丰富.玄武湖与前湖中不同样点的主要木本植物花粉表现出优势类型高度一致、含量稳定、受采样位置的影响较小、指示地域植被类型的代表性较强等特点.通过对比南京地区已发表的紫金山及周边丘陵林下表土花粉分析结果,发现湖泊表土花粉组合受局部生境影响小,百分比含量较稳定,故其花粉信息在反映区域地带性植被的稳定性和可靠性方面更具优势.因此,开展表土花粉研究时应优先选择湖泊表层沉积物,藉此可提高基于孢粉重建区域地带性植被的代表性与可靠性.本研究结果为长江下游地区,尤其是南京地区解释第四纪孢粉组合与植被的对应关系提供了新数据和必要的现代过程参考.     

Tallgrass prairie pollen assemblages in mid-continental North America

The mid-continent of North America has experienced dramatic and abrupt climate change during the Holocene, but the response of grassland vegetation to past climate change has been difficult to quantify. To improve interpretation of tallgrass prairie vegetation from pollen assemblages, we acquired and analysed a surface sample set collected from 25 small ponds (less than 10 ha surface area) in the largest contiguous remnant of tallgrass prairie in the USA. We compared these tallgrass prairie assemblages to 476 modern pollen samples classified as “prairie” in the North American Surface Sample database. We then compared the surface pollen assemblages with fossil pollen assemblages from sediment cores at two sites in Kansas—Cheyenne Bottoms and Muscotah Marsh—using the modern analog technique. Pollen assemblages in the Flint Hills surface samples were very similar to each other, with an average squared chord distance of 0.19. They were different than other modern grassland pollen assemblages mainly due to higher percentages of pollen from six woody taxa: Carya, Cornus, Juniperus, Juglans, Maclura, and Platanus. Arboreal pollen percentages ranged from 17 to 62 % and did not correlate with woody cover among sites. Cheyenne Bottoms was open grassland for the past 25,000 years, but it did not have many tallgrass prairie analogs. Muscotah Marsh did not have many grassland analogs over the past 30,000 years, possibly due to its position on the prairie-forest border or its surrounding wetland vegetation.     

Pollen stratigraphy of coal-bearing deposits in the Neogene Jidong Basin,Heilongjiang Province,NE China: New insights on palaeoenvironment and age

The palaeoenvironment and age of coal-bearing lacustrine deposits in the Jidong Basin, Heilongjiang Province, is poorly understood. New pollen data from the Yongqing Formation and the overlying lower part of the Daqingshan Formation recovered in borehole 91-205 revealed a rich and diverse palynoflora representing approximately 70 taxa at the genus/family level. Of these taxa, Ulmus, Quercus, Carya, Liquidambar, Pinus, Tilia, Fagus, and Alnus are the main woody elements; these occur together with numerous pteridophytes, subordinate herbs, and rare algae and acritarchs. Abundant woody taxa suggest a mixed deciduous/conifer forest in the region in association with local shrubs, herbs and algal communities. Some of the pollen types, especially those of climate sensitive genera such as Ulmus, Carya, Liquidambar and Fagus, vary considerably in relative abundances, suggesting climate variability. The reflected climate shows an overall trend towards cooling or deterioration which is largely in agreement with global climate change during the Neogene.Comparisons of the pollen record with representative datasets from neighbouring areas, together with the appearance of the highly-evolved genus Artemisia, suggest that the Yongqing Formation and the lower part of the Daqingshan Formation are of Miocene age.     

Vegetation history with implication of climate changes and human impacts over the last 9000 years in the Lake Nanyi area,Anhui Province,East China

Palynological analyses in combination with radiocarbon dating on a Holocene borehole from the Lake Nanyi, Anhui Province, East China demonstrate a well-documented local vegetation evolution since 9000 cal BP, which is the first record of Holocene climate change and human impact in this region. Since 9000 cal BP a mixed evergreen and deciduous broad-leaved forest dominated by Cyclobalanopsis and Quercus developed in this area, indicating a warm climate condition with enhanced insolation. A mixed evergreen and deciduous broad-leaved forest was fully developed between 6600–4500 cal BP, which corresponds to the Holocene Climate Optimum with the strong influence of East Asian summer monsoon (EASM). After 3000 cal BP the broad-leaved forest decreased rapidly, while land herbs and ferns increased. It seems that the climate condition in East China was similar to the present after Holocene Climate Optimum. Pollen results show a potential interface between environment changes and human activities. Pollen diagram demonstrates that human impacts on the natural vegetation remained weak at the early stage but significantly enhanced upwards. The distinctive fluctuations of the pollen contents among AP (trees and shrubs), and the possible agriculture indicators might infer the potential human behaviors for environment changes. Due to the enlargement of organized farming and increase in population, natural forest was eventually replaced by farmland since 3000 cal BP. This study would increase our knowledge of Holocene vegetation transition related to the monsoon dynamics on a long timescale in East China and provide an environmental background for more detailed studies on cultural developments in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River region.     

长江三峡库区玉溪遗址的环境与人类活动的孢粉记录

对玉溪遗址剖面53个地层样品和附近山地的9个现代表土样品进行了孢粉分析,结果表明:玉溪文化时期(6 000a.BP—7 200a.BP)孢粉组合以乔灌木为主,草本次之,蕨类孢子含量较少。乔灌木中以松属、桦木属、栎属占绝对优势;草本中藜科、蒿属含量较高;蕨类孢子以凤尾蕨为主。孢粉谱反映了较为湿润的气候特征。表土孢粉以超代表性的松属占绝对优势,可能是植被群落演替过程中松属植物作为先锋种类表现在演替初级阶段具有明显生长优势的结果,表土孢粉组合基本与当地植被状况相吻合。本研究在14 C测年基础上结合其它代用指标发现在剖面上部第4—8层和下部淤泥层中Rb/Sr值较高且乔灌木花粉百分含量明显增加,可以解释为该段淤泥层为古洪水遗迹,洪水可能有利于对孢粉的富集。地层剖面中文化层与淤泥层呈现交互沉积,表明周期性的洪水事件影响到了人类活动的连续性。     

太湖东部平原平望孔全新世环境演变地层记录

通过对太湖东部平原平望钻孔的年代、有孔虫和孢粉分析,探讨了该区域全新世植被变化与环境特征。结果显示全新世(11.5 kaBP)以来,太湖东部平原未受到广泛海侵的影响,主要是以淡水湖泊-沼泽沉积为主。该区域在4 kaBP以后,才有大面积的水稻种植。11.0—9.1 kaBP,以常绿-落叶阔叶林为主,花粉浓度较小,木本植物和水生湿生植物花粉含量增加,整体环境温凉偏干,但湿度逐渐增大,指示东亚季风逐渐加强。9.1—5.8 kaBP,花粉浓度最大,木本植物花粉含量略有减小,草本植物含量明显增加,主要是水生、湿生花粉的含量增加明显,平均达到32%,藻类含量为整个钻孔最大,其中在8—7 kaBP前后常绿类花粉含量较大,水生湿生花粉、淡水藻类的含量达到整个剖面最大,推测此时区域湿度最大,东亚夏季风最为强盛。5.8—1.3 kaBP常绿阔叶林百分比含量增加,落叶阔叶花粉含量减少,陆生草本植物的含量增加,水生湿生草本的含量减小,主要以常绿-落叶阔叶林为主,环境较前一带略干,东亚夏季风减弱。     

Characterization of pollen profile of Apis mellifera L. in arid region of Pakistan

Honeybees rely exclusively on pollen and nectar-producing plants for strengthening their colonies and manufacturing honey. Little is known about the indigenous melliferous flora of arid zones of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) which is crucial for honey production and how different pollen assessment techniques effect the identification of indigenous melliferous pollen flora. Visual survey and loads ensnaring through pollen traps were used to identify the botanical profile of melliferous pollen flora of Dera Ismail Khan (DIKhan), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The test time extended for two consecutive years 2018 and 2019. The study revealed 56 plant species as pollen flora with 18 significant pollen producing species in visual survey technique while 8 species as predominant flora in pollen trapping technique. The major pollen species found common in both the techniques were Brassica napus L., Brassica campestris L., Trifolium alaxandrinum L., Zea mays L., Acacia modesta L., Citrus aurantium L., Euclyptus spp., and Morus alba L. Pollen interception and palynological analysis of pollen were found to be more reliable techniques as compared to focal observations. More than fifty % differences were found by comparing the results of the visual survey and pollen trapping technique in major flora of DIKhan. Based on the availability, utility status and flowering duration of apiphilic flora, mid-February to mid-May was found to be a significant pollen flow period in the study area. Maximum benefit can be taken in this period through trapping ample amount of pollen and stored for using in artificial diets, selling and feeding bees during dearth period.     

陕西中部黄土高原地区空气花粉组成及其与气候因子的关系——以洛川县下黑木沟村为例

空气花粉研究是现代孢粉学、植被变迁与预测的重要内容之一.陕西省黄土高原地区洛川县2007-2009连续2a的空气花粉分析表明:空气花粉组成与区域植被分布特征和植物花期一致.与2007—2008年相比,2008-2009年的花粉总通量及蒿属花粉通量明显增加,但木本植物花粉通量降低,这主要与2008-2009年降水明显偏少密切相关.2007-2008年降雨量高于500 mm,花粉组合中乔木花粉百分比高于30％,表现出森林植被特点;2008-2009年降雨量少于450 mm,花粉组合中草本花粉高于80％,乔木花粉低于10％,更多表现出草原植被特点.但从植被观测来看并没有明显的变化,表明花粉组合较植被对气候变化更为敏感.主要花粉类型与气候因子的相关分析表明:气候因子影响空气花粉的组成及数量.栎属、松属、蔷薇科花粉数量主要受春季温度影响,温度越高花粉数量越多;其他季节花粉数量主要受相对湿度影响,湿度越低,花粉数量越大.榆属花粉数量主要与冬季温度有关,温度越高,花粉数量越高.杨属只受春季温度影响,春季温度越低,花粉数量越多.胡颓子科花粉含量主要受春季相对湿度、风速影响,相对湿度越低,风速越大,花粉数量越多.绝大多数草本花粉数量均主要受春、冬季相对湿度及风速影响,相对湿度越低,风速越大,花粉数量越高;此外,禾本科花粉数量还受春季温度影响,温度越高,花粉数量越多;菊科花粉数量在夏秋季节还受温度、湿度和风速的共同影响,温度越低,湿度越低,风速越大,花粉数量越多.这些结果表明,黄土高原中部地区的空气花粉特征能反映区域植被组成,且对气候变化非常敏感,对认识和预测当地气候变化与植被动态等具有重要意义.
