A preliminary report on the newly found Tianyuan Cave, a Late Pleistocene human fossil site near Zhoukoudian

The Tianyuan Cave is the only human fossil-bearing site containing rich mammalian fossils found in the last decades near Zhoukoudian. Up to now more than 34 specimens of the human body have been recovered, and the mammalian fossils can be put into 29 species. Cervids dominate the fauna, and carnivores are very rare. Based on the primary examination, the human fossils can be attributed to the species Homo sapiens. All the mammalian fossils, except one between tooth of Crocuta belong to the species that still exist today. But some of them are the first records in fossil form north of the Yellow River, such as Arctonyx and Capricornis. Based on the mammalian fauna study, it seems that the Tianyuan Cave can be correlated with the Upper Cave.Sixty-three percent of the species of the mammalian fauna from the Tianyuan Cave are also present in the Upper Cave.The characters of the deposits also share some similarities between the Tianyuan Cave and the Upper Cave; both of them are mainly composed of breccia without cement. The dating using the U-series method on deer tooth samples indicates that the geological age of the new site is around 25 thousand years B.P. This is the first discovery of human sites outside the core area of the Peking Man Site at Zhoukoudian,which throws new light onto this world famous site complex.     

晚唐隐逸冲淡诗派初探

晚唐诗人皮日休、陆龟蒙、杜苟鹤、方干、郑谷、曹邱、司空图等人面对末世衰代，胸有大志，却无用武之地。他们尽管思想和人生态度有别，但其悲观心理与绝望情绪是一致的。他们提倡隐逸冲淡文学，书忧愤于江湖隐逸之别途，系淡漠于山水田园之致景，构成了晚唐诗坛一个涵盖面更为广泛的诗歌流派——隐逸冲淡诗派，代表了中国后期封建社会开始时代一部分士大夫文人于无奈之中消极避世的社会心态和审美情趣。     

龙潭楔叶的再研究——兼论华南晚泥盆世楔叶目的演化

基于安徽省巢湖市狮子口剖面上泥盆统(法门阶)五通组的标本,对龙潭楔叶Sphenophyllum lungtanense Gothan et Sze的叶形和脉式等重要特征取得了新认识。华南晚泥盆世楔叶目的起源和演化分异模式不同于劳俄大陆的同类植物,它们兼有原始和进化的营养器官(枝状、线状或片状叶)和生殖器官(缺少或具有孢子叶),显示出较高的形态多样性和镶嵌演化。     

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。     

晚清词人区域分布描述

受化和地理环境差异的影响，晚清词人分布呈明显的区域“出产”和区域“群居”格局。晚清词人的区域分布已从清初、清中叶江浙两省的一枝独秀变为江浙、岭南、湖湘、闽中、皖上五区的众花争放。岭南、湖湘、闽中、皖上词人奋力急追，和江浙词人一道，为晚清词学的繁荣共倾情思和心力。     

西南地区晚古生代深水生物相初探

西南地区晚古生代时位于华南陆板块的南部被动大陆边缘及陆内。自早泥盆世中晚期开始发生裂陷运动,在滇东、黔南和广西地区发生沿北西向为主,北东向为次的拉张裂陷沉降,最终形成由狭长的台问海槽和弧立碳酸盐台地相间排列的古地貌格局。由于浊流的发育、洋流作用,使深水海槽内海水局部混和充氧,各海槽内海水不完全停滞,不同于黑海式全封闭的阻隔式盆地。不同深度的海槽内具有不同的古生物组合,从浅到深,可归入充氧生物相,充氧-贫氧生物相,贫氧-厌氧生物相及厌氧生物相。     

山西省五台山地区晚更新世以来环境演变的研究

五台山属华北中、高山类型,晚更新世以来受新构造运动及气候的影响,垂直地带变化极为明显,在1700m以上山地形成一系列冰缘地貌类型;对山间盆地出露晚更新世以来的沉积物及孢粉分析,可恢复本区环境演变的过程。     

银杏叶枯病发生规律的探讨

于1998年～2000年在桂林市雁山区、灵川县、兴安县、全州县等银杏种植区,自始见病斑起,用对角线法随机取点,每点标定4株银杏结果树,每树确定一个树枝,按病情分级标准,每月15日左右观察和统计标定树枝上不同级别的叶片数,然后算出树上标定枝叶的病情指数,分析银杏叶枯发生规律;根据银杏品种、树龄、雌雄株,以及施肥状况、坡向、叶面追肥等不同进行调查;探讨它们与叶枯病发生的关系。结果是银杏叶枯病在桂北产区,始发期在4月中下旬,较明显的2次发病高峰分别在6月15日前和8月15日前。银杏的特枯病在桂北产区,但温度和降雨量是决定叶枯病发生和消长的主要因素。培育良种壮苗、选择立地条件良好的地块建园,加强水肥管理可有效抑制病害的发生。     

Magnetostratigraphy of Late Tertiary sediments from the Chinese Loess Plateau and its paleoclimatic significance

The Late Tertiary red clay/bed sediments underlying the Quaternary loess-paleosol in the Chinese Loess Plateau possesses high-resolution paleoclimatic changes related to the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau. Magnetostratigra-phy and susceptibility measurements are discussed in this paper. The paleomagnetic results show that the red clay/bed began to accumulate at about 8.1 Ma, which represents the oldest Late Tertiary deposit continuously in the central Loess Plateau. The magnetic susceptibility curves show stepwise increases since the initiation of red clay, superimposed on several peaks. Moreover, the magnetic susceptibility increased abruptly since 3.8 Ma, which probably indicates the inception of the modern East Asia monsoon system. Between 3.8 and 2.6 Ma, the stepwise increases of susceptibility may imply progressively intensified East Asia summer monsoon activity related with the stepwise uplift process of the Tibetan Plateau.
