Abstract

Analysis of the stable carbon isotopic composition (δ13C) of soil organic matter is important for assessing past climate changes and the response of landscape components to them. Soils of nine soil-sedimentary sequences formed in various landscape and geomorphological conditions of western Transbaikalia have been studied. The time of their formation covers the last 15 kyr. The phases of pedogenesis within genetically different landforms were rather synchronous, which enabled us to suppose that they were caused by regional landscape-climatic changes, which also affected δ13C of soil organic matter. The range of variations in δ13С values is from –20.99 to –27.00‰. Changes in δ13С over time are the most contrasting for sections formed under driest steppe conditions and are the smallest for sections in taiga landscapes with the greatest precipitation. However, in general, the trends of changes in δ13С in different landscape zones over time are similar: the lowest δ13С values are typical for organic matter of Late Glacial paleosols formed 14–15 and 12 kyr BP, as well as for soils of the Late Holocene (3.5–2.0 and 1.0–0.3 kyr BP). Organic matter of soils of the Middle Holocene (9.0–4.0 kyr BP) and of the time interval of 13–14 kyr BP is enriched in 13C. Based on the identified dependence of δ13C in organic matter of modern soils in the region on the amount of precipitation, we have quantitatively reconstructed precipitation during the past growing seasons. The data obtained enable us to estimate the time intervals of 11.7–10.0 and 4.0–1.5 kyr BP as the most optimal for the formation of soils in Western Transbaikalia. An increase in temperatures and a decrease in atmospheric humidity in Transbaikalia and adjacent areas in the Middle Holocene exerted a negative impact on the pedogenesis intensity.

利用外贝加尔西部古溶胶有机物中的δ13С变化重建晚冰期和全新世的古沉淀动力学
摘要 分析土壤有机质的稳定碳同位素组成(δ13C)对于评估过去的气候变化以及地貌成分对气候变化的反应非常重要。研究了在外贝加尔西部不同地貌和地形条件下形成的九个土壤沉积序列的土壤。这些土壤的形成时间涵盖过去 15 千年。在基因不同的地貌中,各阶段的成土过程相当同步,这使我们能够推测它们是由区域地貌-气候的变化引起的,这些变化也影响了土壤有机质的δ13C。δ13С值的变化范围从-20.99‰到-27.00‰。在最干旱的草原条件下形成的地段,δ13С随时间的变化反差最大,而在降水量最大的泰加地貌中形成的地段,δ13С随时间的变化最小。不过,总体而言,不同地貌区的δ13С随时间变化的趋势是相似的:形成于公元前 14-15 千年和 12 千年的晚冰期古溶胶以及全新世晚期(公元前 3.5-2.0 千年和 1.0-0.3 千年)土壤的有机质的δ13С值最低。全新世中期(公元前 9.0-4.0 千年)和公元前 13-14 千年的土壤有机质富含 13C。根据已确定的该地区现代土壤有机物质中的δ13C 与降水量的关系,我们对过去生长季节的降水量进行了定量重建。根据所获得的数据,我们可以估计出 11.7-10.0 和 4.0-1.5 千年前是外贝加尔西部土壤形成的最佳时间间隔。在全新世中期,外贝加尔及邻近地区气温升高,大气湿度降低,这对成土强度产生了负面影响。

期刊介绍: Eurasian Soil Science publishes original research papers on global and regional studies discussing both theoretical and experimental problems of genesis, geography, physics, chemistry, biology, fertility, management, conservation, and remediation of soils. Special sections are devoted to current news in the life of the International and Russian soil science societies and to the history of soil sciences. Since 2000, the journal Agricultural Chemistry, the English version of the journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences Agrokhimiya, has been merged into the journal Eurasian Soil Science and is no longer published as a separate title.
