摘要
全球碳循环研究表明.在北半球中纬度地带可能存在一个陆地生志汇(植被和土壤)。中国黄土分布在北半球中纬度,在CO2未知汇的研究中很可能具有重要作用。通过自制钻机对北京斋堂黄土剖面(L2上部~L1)进行了不同层位(深度)的垂直或水平打钻,利用毛细管负压原理采集到游离气体并进行了主要温室气体CP2、CH4、N2O的浓度和CO2的碳、氧同位素组成分析。此外,还分析了土样的碳酸盐含量及其碳、氧同位素组成。初步研究结果表明,黄土剖面中主要温室气体浓度远比大气中高:CO2浓度为1434.4×10-6~2458.6×10-6,是大气中的3.8~6.5倍;N2O浓度为472.2×10-9~763.9×10-9,是大气中的1.3~2.1倍;CH4浓度在剖面上部与大气中相似,但在下部为13.1×10-6~24.8×10-6,为大气中的5.4~10.2倍。斋堂黄土剖面中的破酸盐含量为1.55%~9.75%,CO2浓度与碳酸盐含量成正比关系。尽管黄土-古土壤序列富含碳酸盐,但需进一步开展黄土中的CO2浓度及碳同位素工作,以便了解黄土中CO2在全球碳循环中的地位和作用。
CO2 missing sink is a focus of global carbon cycle. A large sink may exist in the middle latitude terrestrial ecosystem of North Hemisphere. Loess is widely distributed in China, also at the middle latitude.Loess-paleosol Sequence may be an important factor affecting global carbon cycle. According to the Zhaitangloess section, Beijing, there are some interesting phenomena. The concentrations of major greenhouse gasesin the loess-paleosol sequence, such as CO2 ,CH4 and N2O are higher than in the atmosphere. There is apositive relationship between carbonate content and CO2 concentration in the Zhaitang loess-paleosol sequence. Because there is a lot of carbonate in the loess-paleosol sequence, loess may be a large carbon reservoir. It may absorb CO2 from the atmosphere when carbonate dissolves and migrates or emit CO2 to the atmosphere when carbonate is deposited. Further study on the nature of CO2 in the loess section (δ 13C, δ18O) may provide more useful information on global carbon cycle.,
