Magnetic characteristics and its environmental implications of core YSJD-86GC sediments from the southern South China Sea

Sediments of core YSJD-86GC （referred to as 86GC） collected from the southern South China Sea were selected for environmental magnetic studies. Combined with the published chronological framework, sediment magnetic properties were revealed for the study area since the MIS3 stage. The rock magnetic results indicate that low-coercivity magnetite is the main magnetic mineral within the sediments. Also, a certain amounts of hematite are present. The King plot and Day plot, which reflect the magnetic particle size, show that fine-grained pseudo-sin- gle-domain phase magnetic particles dominate the magnetic minerals in the sediments. Comparison of magnetic parameters and geochemical indicators show that magnetic properties of core 86GC sediments reflect a terrigenous input. Simultaneously, magnetic characteristics of the stud- ied sediment are influenced by the quantity of terrigenous sediment input, oxidation-reduction conditions of the provenance area, and the transportation environment and distance. Sea level fluctuation caused by global climate change was the main factor for variation in concentration of magnetic minerals and magnetic particle size of thestudied core sediments. Thus, variation of sediment magnetic properties in the study area can be used as an indirect indicator of sea level fluctuation.     

Millennial climate changes since MIS 3 revealed by element records in deep-sea sediments from northern South China Sea

High resolution elemental MD05-2903 from the northern South records in core China Sea were obtained from XRF scanning and grain size and mineral component analyses. The K/Ti curve reveals climate changes since MIS 3 on a millennial scale, representing one of the best such records so far from deep-sea sediments of the South China Sea. When compared our K/Ti record with other climate records from high latitude ice cores and from East Asia stalagmites, variations in the K/Ti record show some typical saw-shaped features of rapid climate changes in the Northern Hemisphere. Grain size analysis reveals a close relationship between variations in K/Ti and in the fine end-member grain size. XRD analysis confirms that high K/Ti layers were dominated by K-rich weathering minerals, especially illite, while low K/Ti layers contain low illite but high abundance of Ti-rich heavy minerals. Therefore, the K/Ti record reflects changes in the input and deposition of fine weathering minerals and heavy minerals in the northern South China Sea region during stadials and interstadials. These elemental changes were largely con- trolled by variations in rainfall, erosion, and fluvial trans- portation induced by East Asia Monsoon.     

Starch grain evidence reveals early pottery function cooking plant foods in North China

Early pottery sherds excavated in northern China date back to more than 11,000 cal a BP, and are presumed to have been used as cooking vessels. There has been, however, no direct evidence to demonstrate this function. Here we report ancient starch grains recovered from carbonized residues adhering to the bases of flat- bottomed vessels excavated from the Zhuannian site dating more than 10,000 cal a BP in the North China Plain. This evidence demonstrates that early pottery was being used to cook cereal grains, particularly millets, and acorns. Because millets were in the process of domestication at thistime, we propose that pottery invention in northern China may have been related to early farming activities.     

中国需全力推进鲁日韩“小TPP自贸区”建设吗——“黄海经济圈”建设应是我国区域发展战略中的第一战略吗

中国正在全面崛起,经济和科技实力大大增强,但是在知识产权能力上与日本依然存在一定差距。日本依靠反向工程、改进创新、原始创新,以及纵向和横向的累积性、协同性、重构性集成创新跨越"海量"知识产权积累的"高墙",掌握"高墙"后的高级技术系统,使其在大部分的尖端技术领域都取得了关键性突破,甚至赶超俄罗斯和美国。因此,我们应强化与日本之间的技术交流和经济合作,尤其要大力推进"鲁日韩一体化战略"。

High-precision U-series dating of Holocene corals from South China Sea by thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS)

Using the isotopic diluting and thermal ionization mass spectrometric (TIMS) technique, the U-series dating procedure was established on the basis of measurement of national standard GBW04412. With this highly precise technique the Holocene corals from the South China Sea were dated. Comparison between this method and α-spectrometry was made. The results show that a thriving period of corals in the South China Sea appeared at 6 800-5 800 a BP, during which the paleosea level was the higher than at present in the Holocene.     

滨里海盆地北特鲁瓦油田上石炭统碳酸盐岩沉积相研究与有利储层预测

北特鲁瓦油田是近年来在滨里海盆地东缘发现的大型油气田,石炭系碳酸盐岩是最重要的含油层系。通过岩心、测录井资料分析,以及大量薄片及扫描电镜微观观察,认为北特鲁瓦油田上石炭统碳酸盐岩地层属于碳酸盐岩台地相沉积,可进一步分为蒸发台地、局限台地、开阔台地3个亚相;以及膏岩坪、白云坪、潟湖等7个微相,各沉积微相的特征显著。剖面及平面上沉积演化分析表明,上石炭统沉积时期处于一个海平面逐渐下降的过程,在Б2时期,研究区全部为开阔台地亚相;到A2时期,研究区大部分为蒸发台地、局限台地亚相。通过总结平面上各微相分布规律,建立了适宜北特鲁瓦油田的碳酸盐岩沉积模式。通过微观孔隙类型及特征分析,结合沉积微相研究,发现局限台地内的白云坪微相及开阔台地内的台地滩微相储集物性最好,其内发育的粉晶生屑云岩、晶粒云岩及亮晶颗粒灰岩、生物格架灰岩是油田最有利的储集层。上述研究成果将为油田后续的评价开发提供新的地质依据。     

Breeding preferences in the treefrogs Dryophytes japonicus (Hylidae) in Mongolia

ABSTRACT

When a species occurs over a broad range of climates and landscapes, the breeding ecology of that species is expected to vary locally. Additionally, a basic knowledge of breeding ecology is required before other types of studies may be conducted, such as physiology or conservation. In North East Asia, Dryophytes japonicus is distributed from Japan to Mongolia, where its breeding ecology is unknown. The objectives of this study were to understand the breeding requirements of D. japonicus in this part of its range. We collected data for Dryophytes japonicus at 56 sites located within 23 independent localities in Northern Mongolia during the breeding season 2017. The data collected included habitat type and co-occurring amphibian, fishes and bird species. Our results show that the species prefers circa 70 m long oxbow lakes for breeding, while habitat characteristics, water quality and co-occurring species were not significantly associated with the occurrence of the species. We therefore conclude that D. japonicus is behaviourally plastic in Mongolia, as it is in other portions of its range, and that the species can use several types of environments and co-occur with different species at its breeding sites. Corvus dauuricus was the only bird species significant predicting the occurrence of D. japonicus, likely because of overlapping ecological preferences.
