Since 1980, tropical cyclones have migrated poleward, but it remains unclear whether this trend reflects long-term climate change or temporary climate variability. Here we investigate the drivers of this poleward migration using multiple observational datasets and global models that permit tropical cyclones. We show that a tripolar pattern of Pacific sea surface temperature variability strongly modulates the interannual variation of cyclone latitudes and largely drove the poleward migration over 1980–2024. The tripolar pattern influences tropical cyclones more effectively than either the El Niño/Southern Oscillation or the Hadley circulation. When its effects are removed, poleward migration is negligible. When it shows negative trends, the model simulates equatorward migration. As the pattern exhibits alternating multi-decadal trends but no long-term trend since 1970, its recent trend—and the associated poleward migration—is unlikely to persist. In ensemble projections under a warming scenario, tropical cyclone activity decreases overall, leading to fewer occurrences at high latitudes despite the poleward expansion of the Hadley cell. These results indicate that climate variability has played a dominant role in the observed poleward migration of tropical cyclones, and that future changes may differ markedly from the recent multi-decadal trends.
自1980年以来,热带气旋向极地移动,但尚不清楚这种趋势是反映长期气候变化还是暂时气候变率。在这里,我们使用多个观测数据集和允许热带气旋的全球模式来研究这种向极地迁移的驱动因素。研究表明,1980-2024年太平洋海表温度变化的三极型强烈调节了气旋纬度的年际变化,并在很大程度上驱动了气旋向极地迁移。三极型对热带气旋的影响比厄尔Niño/南方涛动或哈德利环流更有效。当它的影响被消除时,向极地迁移是可以忽略不计的。当它呈现负趋势时,模型模拟向赤道迁移。由于这种模式显示出交替的多年代际趋势,但自1970年以来没有长期趋势,其最近的趋势——以及相关的极地迁移——不太可能持续下去。在变暖情景下的总体预估中,热带气旋活动总体减少,导致高纬度地区的发生次数减少,尽管哈德利环流向极地扩展。这些结果表明,气候变率在观测到的热带气旋向极地迁移中起主导作用,未来的变化可能与最近的多年代际趋势有显著差异。

Sedimentary conditions drive modern pyrite burial flux to exceed oxidation 沉积条件驱使现代黄铁矿埋藏通量超过氧化
IF 18.3 1区 地球科学 Q1 GEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-12-12 DOI: 10.1038/s41561-025-01855-5

Pyrite (iron sulfide) formation and burial in sediments decreases atmospheric CO2 and increases O2 levels. However, the environmental and sedimentological conditions that regulate pyrite burial remain poorly constrained. Here we investigate such controlling mechanisms using a non-dimensional diagenetic model that extracts the natural variables governing pyrite formation rate and sulfur isotopic composition (δ34S). Both properties are controlled by the local ratios of organic carbon content to sulfate concentration and organic carbon reactivity to sedimentation rate; formation rate is additionally sensitive to reactive iron delivery. Using only globally interpolated boundary conditions, our model accurately predicts signals in 216 sediment cores distributed across the modern ocean. Extrapolating this, we estimate a global pyrite burial flux of 7.0 × 1012 mol S yr−1 (sensitivity test range: 2.5 × 1012 to 19.0 × 1012 mol S yr−1) with a weighted-average δ34S value of −4‰ (range: −8 to +3‰). This flux is substantially larger than terrestrial pyrite oxidation, indicating that the sulfur cycle is currently not in steady state but is instead described by net pyrite burial and thus atmospheric O2 accumulation. Finally, we interpret the geologic pyrite δ34S record within this model framework and identify flooded shelf area as the main control on pyrite burial throughout the Phanerozoic Eon.
沉积物中黄铁矿(硫化铁)的形成和埋藏减少了大气中的二氧化碳,增加了氧气水平。然而,控制黄铁矿埋藏的环境和沉积条件仍然知之甚少。本文采用无量纲成岩模型,提取控制黄铁矿形成速率和硫同位素组成(δ34S)的自然变量,研究这种控制机制。这两种性质均受局部有机碳含量与硫酸盐浓度之比和有机碳反应性与沉降速率之比的控制;形成速率对活性铁的输送也很敏感。仅使用全球插值的边界条件,我们的模型准确地预测了分布在现代海洋中的216个沉积物岩心的信号。据此推断,我们估计全球黄铁矿埋藏通量为7.0 × 1012 mol S yr - 1(灵敏度测试范围:2.5 × 1012 ~ 19.0 × 1012 mol S yr - 1),加权平均δ34S值为−4‰(范围:−8 ~ +3‰)。这一通量大大大于陆地黄铁矿氧化,表明硫循环目前不是处于稳定状态,而是由净黄铁矿埋藏和大气O2积累来描述。最后,在此模式框架内对黄铁矿δ34S的地质记录进行了解释,确定了显生宙黄铁矿埋藏的主要控制因素为水淹陆架。

Southern Ocean net primary production influenced by seismically modulated hydrothermal iron 地震调节热液铁对南大洋净初级产量的影响

Iron is the primary limiting nutrient for phytoplankton growth, and consequently CO2 drawdown, in the Southern Ocean. A recurring phytoplankton bloom above the Australian Antarctic Ridge was recently attributed to hydrothermally sourced iron. Here we examine satellite remote-sensing estimates of net primary production, earthquake location catalogues and Lagrangian plume modelling of particle trajectories in surface ocean currents to show that interannual variability in net primary production is related to seismicity and the advective spread of downstream surface waters. By spatially decomposing the relationship between seismicity, advective spread and net primary production, we demonstrate that net primary production at the surface, above the hydrothermal vents, can be predicted by elevated seismicity in the months before the growing season. Farther from the vents, greater advective spread reduces net primary production. We hypothesize that the connection between earthquakes and net primary production is mediated by the link between seismicity and hydrothermal emissions while advective spread controls the dilution of entrained iron; however, the physical mechanism behind the rapid surfacing of hydrothermal iron is still unknown. These findings challenge prevailing views on how geophysical processes influence ocean primary production.
铁是南大洋浮游植物生长的主要限制性营养物质,因此也限制了二氧化碳的减少。最近,澳大利亚南极脊上空浮游植物的反复繁殖被归因于热液来源的铁。本文研究了卫星遥感估算的净初级产量、地震定位目录和表面洋流粒子轨迹的拉格朗日羽流模型,以表明净初级产量的年际变化与地震活动性和下游地表水的平流扩散有关。通过空间分解地震活动性、平流扩散和净初级产量之间的关系,我们证明了热液喷口上方地表的净初级产量可以通过生长季节前几个月的地震活动性升高来预测。离喷口越远,平流扩散越大,净初级产量就越低。我们假设地震和净初级产量之间的联系是由地震活动性和热液排放之间的联系介导的,而平流扩散控制了夹带铁的稀释;然而,热液中铁快速表面的物理机制尚不清楚。这些发现挑战了关于地球物理过程如何影响海洋初级生产的主流观点。

Climate change fuels the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt 气候变化推动了大西洋马尾藻带的发展

Our oceans are changing rapidly, with climate-driven shifts in circulation and nutrient cycles reshaping marine ecosystems in profound ways. One of the most visible and disruptive outcomes is the explosive growth of Sargassum — a floating brown alga that has, since 2011, formed vast rafts stretching thousands of kilometres across the Atlantic Ocean. Once largely confined to the Sargasso Sea, where it provides habitat for fish, turtles, and eels, Sargassum now inundates coastlines from West Africa to the Caribbean Islands and Florida. In a new report in Nature Geoscience, Jung et al.1 have identified the source of nutrients fueling Sargassum blooms, which are increasing as a result of climate change.
我们的海洋正在迅速变化,气候驱动的环流和营养循环的变化深刻地重塑了海洋生态系统。最明显和最具破坏性的结果之一是马尾藻的爆炸性增长。马尾藻是一种漂浮的褐藻,自2011年以来,它在大西洋上形成了绵延数千公里的巨大筏子。马尾藻曾经主要局限于马尾藻海,在那里它为鱼类、海龟和鳗鱼提供栖息地,现在马尾藻淹没了从西非到加勒比群岛和佛罗里达的海岸线。在《自然地球科学》的一篇新报告中,Jung等人已经确定了马尾藻华的营养来源,马尾藻华由于气候变化而增加。

Neglecting vertical transport leads to underestimated soil carbon dynamics 忽略垂直迁移会导致低估土壤碳动态
IF 16.1 1区 地球科学 Q1 GEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-12-08 DOI: 10.1038/s41561-025-01846-6

The radiocarbon content of soil organic carbon (C) is assumed to reflect the carbon’s biological reactivity. Large soil radiocarbon ages are interpreted to mean that the C will have a slow response to environmental perturbations such as the effects of warming on the soil microbial C decomposition rate. Here we show that downward advective transport of soil C is an important process affecting soil C ages, leading to an inevitable increase in radiocarbon age with depth even if the decomposition rates remain constant. Thus, the increasing radiocarbon ages of C with depth do not directly imply a corresponding decrease in C reactivity as a function of depth. On the basis of theory and an independent assessment of soil C decomposition rates, the radiocarbon profiles (and content for a given depth) were calculated for over 3,000 soils in the USA and were compared to observational results based on measured soil radiocarbon. The first-order coherence between the two entirely differing approaches suggests the fundamental importance of transport and the implication that the soil C decomposition rate constant may be relatively invariant with depth. These insights may serve to reduce biases in Earth system models that presently do not match the observed depth patterns in soil C or its radiocarbon content. A reassessment of soil radiocarbon profiles, which shows a strong influence of vertical transport processes, suggests that soil organic carbon is similarly responsive to environmental changes regardless of depth.
土壤有机碳(C)的放射性碳含量反映了碳的生物反应性。大的土壤放射性碳年龄被解释为意味着碳对环境扰动(如变暖对土壤微生物碳分解率的影响)的反应缓慢。研究表明,土壤C的向下平流输送是影响土壤C年龄的重要过程,即使分解速率保持不变,放射性碳年龄也不可避免地随深度增加。因此,C的放射性碳年龄随深度的增加并不直接意味着C的反应性随深度的变化而相应降低。在理论和对土壤C分解率的独立评估的基础上,计算了美国3000多个土壤的放射性碳剖面(以及给定深度的含量),并将其与基于土壤放射性碳测量的观测结果进行了比较。两种完全不同的方法之间的一阶一致性表明了输运的基本重要性,并暗示土壤C分解速率常数可能随深度相对不变。这些见解可能有助于减少目前与观测到的土壤C的深度模式或其放射性碳含量不匹配的地球系统模型的偏差。对土壤放射性碳剖面的重新评估表明,垂直输送过程的强烈影响表明,土壤有机碳对环境变化的响应与深度无关。
