Climate change over southern Qinghai Plateau in the past 500 years recorded in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Sabina tibetica</Emphasis> tree rings

Two tree ring-width chronologies of Sabina tibetica were developed based on cores sampled in Qumalai and Zhiduo, southern Qinghai Plateau. The response function analysis showed that the chronologies were sensitive to temperature and precipitation from April to June in the plateau. Moisture index (MI) was defined, reconstructed and extended back to AD 1550. The cross-validation method was used to check the stability of the calibration equation, and the result indicated that the equation was stable. Six severe dry periods were found in this region in the past 453-year reconstruction, which were 1592 to 1610, 1649 to 1665, 1687 to 1697, 1740 to 1750, 1818 to 1829 and 1918 to 1933. Five severe wetting periods were 1669 to 1682, 1700 to 1709, 1800 to 1814, 1898 to 1909 and 1935 to 1950. Spectrum analysis indicated that there existed long-term cycles of 60.4 and 53.4 a, solar cycle of 11 a and short-term cycles of 8, 6 and 4 a in the reconstructed series.     

小波技术探测古油松年轮记录的太阳活动信号

利用小波技术以沈阳昭陵古油松为样本建立的古油松年轮宽度年表与太阳黑于活动为研究对象,分析了沈阳的古油松生长与太阳活动的关系。油松在5～8年、10-12年和20-30年周期段对太阳活动表现出积极的响应,呈现5．8、11.5和27.2年的强周期震荡,响应信号在太阳活动的主周期11．1年左右表现最强。太阳黑子活动对油松年轮宽度年表总的影响是负效应,是多种抑、促效应的复合。

Relationships between tree-ring width index and NDVI of grassland in Delingha

The responses of terrestrial ecosystem to and their impacts on global climate change are key issues in global change research. More studies on vegetationmonitoring and land cover change have been performed by using remote sensing data recently, which bene…     

从孢粉推测上海地区晚第四纪以来的植被、环境演变

通过对上海地区斜土路2号孔晚第四纪地层的孢粉研究，划分出了晚第四纪8个孢粉组合带，并结合邻近钻孔孢粉研究资料，恢复了该区植被演替、气候波动的六个阶段，这种气候波动不仅与世界性气候变化一致，而且其波动曲线也与海平面变化相吻合，从而为本地区进行地层年代划分和对比提供可靠的证据，为本地区晚第四纪古植被、古气候、古环境的重建提供了丰富的孢粉学资料。     

Global warming： Take action or wait？

Of all the changes wrought by human activity, the buildup in our atmosphere of the greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, has gener- ated the most contentious debate. Environmentalists warn that in the absence of firm action, over th…     

Temperature and precipitation in Mongolia based on dendroclimatic investigations

Recent tree-ring studies in Mongolia provide evidence of unusual warming that is in agreement with large-scal reconstructed and recorded temperaturec for the Northern Hemisphere and the Arctic.One Mongolian proxy record for temperature extends back over 1000 years and several others are over 350 years in length.Precipitation reconstructions based on thee rings reflect recent increases but also indicate that the increases are within the long-term range of varlations.Spectral analyses of recorded preciplta-tion data and the reconstructions support the hypotheses of quasi-solar periodicity in precipitation variation,previously suggested by others.     

西藏湖泊正构脂肪酸分布特征及对古气候重建的启示

脂肪酸广泛存在于各种地质载体,能够记录母源生存环境的相关信息。但关于脂肪酸的具体来源及分布特征的古气候意义尚不明确,导致脂肪酸相关指标在古气候重建中的应用较少。通过分析西藏干旱-半干旱区跨越3个气候带的湖泊和水洼的表层沉积物中的正构脂肪酸,揭示中、长链及部分短链正构烷脂肪酸的来源与正构烷烃的来源有关,可以相互对比验证。建立了指标与古气候要素的相关关系,发现正构脂肪酸含量、碳优势(CPI)指标随温度升高、降水增多而升高。提出了可用于古气候重建的中链占比(R-FA)指标,R-FA与年均气温和降水量成正比。     

Tree-ring precipitation records from Baiyinaobao,Inner Mongolia since A.D. 1838

Tree rings have attracted the wide attention of geo- environmental and climatic scientists due to its high resolution and accuracy. Lots of important results about climatic change have been obtained for the last 100 to 2000 years when it has no instrumental observation and people are very concerning about it nowadays. For example, by using tree-ring data, temperature, precipitation and drought history have been reconstructed back to hundreds of or thousands of years for different regions in th…     

Simulated and reconstructed winter temperature in the eastern China during the last millennium

Since the 1990s, under the auspicious impetus of two international research programs, the “Past Global Changes” (PAGES) and the “Climate Variability and Pre- dictability” (CLIVAR), massive research work has been carried out on climate and environment changes over the past 2000 years[1-3]. But majority of the studies has been centered on obtaining various kinds of climatic proxy data (such as historical documents, tree rings, ice cores, lake cores) and focused on the reconstruction of…     

Partial anhysteretic remanent magnetization （pARM） synthetic single- and multi-domain magnetites and its paleoenvironmental significance

In order to isolate magnetic signals carried by single-domain （SD） ferrimagnetic （FM） minerals from multi-domain （MD） FM minerals, we developed a few parameters using partial anhysteretic remanent magnetization （pARM）. Because MD fraction contains only soft （easy to be demagnetized） coercivity spectrum, pARM（〉20 mT） was sensitive in eliminating MD contributions. Ratio of pARM（5 mT, 10 mT）/pARM（0, 5 mT） is useful in quantifying a relative abundance of mass ratio between SD and MD fractions. These new proxies can quickly characterize the details of grain size distribution of magnetic minerals in paleoclimatic and paleomagnetic studies.
