Abstract

Carbon and oxygen isotope compositions have been determined for carbonate minerals from different types of carbonatites (large carbonatite bodies, veins, eruptive breccia), as well as from different temperature classes of carbonatites (according to Samoilov [1]). It could be shown, that only high temperature carbonatites exhibit small variations of δ18O and δ13C falling in the range of “high temperature mantle carbonates”, whereas low temperature calcites and dolomites show wide variations in δ18O. These changes in both isotope and mineral compositions of low temperature carbonatites are interpreted as a result of repeated interaction with fluids. The oxygen isotope ratios in most of the eruptive breccia have been changed by secondary processes. The primary deep-seated isotope record has been preserved only in samples, in which carbonate occurs as fine-grained calcite groundmass.

Preliminary results on oxygen isotope composition of different silicate minerals (amphibole, magnetite, biotite, albite, apatite) indicate isotope equilibrium for the mineral pair calcite-amphibole with isotope temperatures representing superimposed processes.  相似文献

A general view is presented of deuterium and 18O measurements of water samples collected at running and standing surface waters in German Democratic Republic. The values confirm earlier observations that the surface waters are influenced by evaporation with respect to the isotopic composition of groundwater. Nevertheless, stronger evaporation effects are restricted to larger lakes. The amount of surface water discharge from GDR to the Baltic Sea and the δD and δ18O values are discussed. The river Oder provides about 90% of the whole surface run-off. The other watercourses to the coast are unimportand. The mean heavy isotope content of surface run-off was calculated to be ?8.3‰ for δ18O and ?61‰ for δD (vs. SMOW), respectively.  相似文献

Pretreatment methods for measuring stable sulphur (δ34S) and oxygen (δ18O) isotope ratios of dissolved sulphate from watersheds have evolved throughout the last few decades. The current study evaluated if there are differences in the measured stable S and O isotope values of dissolved sulphate from forested watersheds when pretreated using three different methods: Method 1 (M1): adsorb sulphate on anion exchange resins and send directly to isotope facility; Method 2 (M2): adsorb sulphate on anion exchange resins, extract sulphate from anion exchange resins, and send the produced BaSO4 to the isotope facility; and Method 3 (M3): directly precipitate BaSO4 without anion exchange resins with the precipitates being sent to the isotope facility. We found an excellent agreement of the δ34Ssulphate values among all the three methods. However, some differences were observed in the δ18Osulphate values (M1 versus M2:?1.5 ‰; M1 versus M3:?1.2 ‰) associated with possible O contamination before isotope measurement. Several approaches are recommended to improve the pretreatment procedures for δ18Osulphate analysis.  相似文献

The oxygen isotope compositions of bones (n?=?11) and teeth (n?=?20) from 12 Sudanese individuals buried on Sai Island (Nubia) were analysed to investigate the registration of the evolution of the Nile environment from 3700 to 500 years BP and the potential effects of ontogeny on the oxygen isotope ratios. The isotopic compositions were converted into the composition of drinking water, ultimately originating from the Nile. δ18O values decrease during ontogeny; this is mainly related to breastfeeding and physiology. Those of neonates present very large variations. Neonates have a very high bone turnover and are thus able to record seasonal δ18O variations of the Nile waters. These variations followed a pattern very similar to the present one. Nile δ18O values increased from 1.4 to 4.4?‰ (Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water) from the Classic Kerma (~3500 BP) through the Christian period (~1000 BP), traducing a progressive drying of Northeast Africa.  相似文献

Abstract

Elevated sulfate concentrations and their heterogeneous distribution in the drinking water catchment area Torgau-Mockritz (Germany) were investigated by means of multiple isotope signatures such as δ34S, δ18O-H2O, δD, tritium, and 85Kr. δ34S values of the groundwater sulfate vary between -19…+ 37‰ CDT. No simple correlation exists between sulfate concentrations and δ34S. Superimposition of different sulfur sources and mobilization processes combined with a complicated groundwater movement create a complex distribution pattern. The oxidation of reduced sedimentary sulfur has to be regarded as a main source of dissolved sulfate at least regionally. Tritium and 14C data revealed that old groundwater can be excluded as source for high sulfate contents. Correlated temporal variations in the concentrations of tritium and sulfate are observed in deeper sampling positions. Highly variable δ18O and δD, as detected in parts of the catchment area, indicate local influences of surface water infiltration into the aquifer. The spatial distribution of isotope signatures enables the identification of zones with descending younger water or hindered groundwater movement and hence provides useful hints for flow modeling.  相似文献

Abstract

The paper presents a whole-year study (1990) of an unique area in S-E Poland with numerous small rivers and streams carrying clean waters. We report the results of δ18O of waters and δ34S of the sulphates sampled 4 times in 1990 from 20 rivers of the study area. The observations clearly show the impact of biological activity on the oxygen and sulphur isotopic compositions in sulphates. Attempts have been made to interpret the correlation between δ34S and δ18O in sulphates. The highest correlation coefficient has been noticed for samples collected in April, whereas the lowest in August. The conclusion of this study is that the river sulphates are predominantly produced outside the river environment. We have distinguished three major sources of sulphates: (1) ones produced in the aquifer from which waters are discharged, (2) those produced in soils and marshes of forest environment, and (3) ones on anthropogenic origin.  相似文献

The Mediterranean is regarded as a region of intense climate change. To better understand future climate change, this area has been the target of several palaeoclimate studies which also studied stable isotope proxies that are directly linked to the stable isotope composition of water, such as tree rings, tooth enamel or speleothems. For such work, it is also essential to establish an isotope hydrology framework of the region of interest. Surface waters from streams and lakes as well as groundwater from springs on the island of Corsica were sampled between 2003 and 2009 for their oxygen and hydrogen isotope compositions. Isotope values from lake waters were enriched in heavier isotopes and define a local evaporation line (LEL). On the other hand, stream and spring waters reflect the isotope composition of local precipitation in the catchment. The intersection of the LEL and the linear fit of the spring and stream waters reflect the mean isotope composition of the annual precipitation (δP) with values of?8.6(±0.2) ‰ for δ18O and?58(±2) ‰ for δ2H. This value is also a good indicator of the average isotope composition of the local groundwater in the island. Surface water samples reflect the altitude isotope effect with a value of?0.17(±0.02) ‰ per 100 m elevation for oxygen isotopes. At Vizzavona Pass in central Corsica, water samples from two catchments within a lateral distance of only a few hundred metres showed unexpected but systematic differences in their stable isotope composition. At this specific location, the direction of exposure seems to be an important factor. The differences were likely caused by isotopic enrichment during recharge in warm weather conditions in south-exposed valley flanks compared to the opposite, north-exposed valley flanks.  相似文献

The routine methods for stable oxygen and hydrogen isotope analysis of water involve water–CO2 gas equilibration and water reduction on hot metal (e.g. Zn, Cr, U) and subsequent mass spectrometric analysis of the evolved gases of CO2 and H2 for 18O/16O and 2H/1H ratios, respectively. Precise determination of the isotopic composition of water in brines with application of these standard methods is still problematic and technically often impossible due to detrimental influence of dissolved salts. The new method of brine desalination presented in this study overcomes the problem of the isotope salt effects encountered during the application of the routine techniques for the determination of the isotopic composition of high saline waters. The procedure combines two technical steps: (i) the chemical precipitation of Mg and Ca ions as insoluble non-hydroscopic fluorides, and (ii) the vacuum distillation of water from solution–precipitate mixture. The application of simple vacuum distillation allows full extraction of water and dehydration of remaining salts in a temperature range from 300 to 350?°C without hydrogen and oxygen isotope fractionation. The precision and accuracy of δ18O and δ2H determination of saline waters and brines with prior application of AgF desalination procedure is comparable with that usually obtained for fresh waters.  相似文献

Abstract

We investigated physical, chemical and isotope (S, O) parameters of sulfate from acid mine drainage from the polymetallic sulfide ore deposit Freiberg (Germany), which was mined for more than eight hundred years. Two main groups of water were distinguished:

1. Flowing mine water with sulfate concentrations of less than 9000 mg/1 and pH values higher than 3.2

2. Pore water in weathered low grade ores and pools with sulfate concentrations higher than 9000 mg/1 and pH values below 3.2.

The sulfur and oxygen isotope composition of sulfate from flowing mine waters reflects mixing of sulfate from two sulfur sources: a) atmospheric sulfur from precipitation and b) sulfate formed as a result of sulfide oxidation processes. Sulfur isotope values of mine water sulfate were used to estimate the contribution of sulfate derived through oxidation of sulfides. The sulfur isotope composition of pore water sulfate and precipitated sulfate (jarosite) from weathered low grade ore samples is identical to the sulfur isotope composition of primary sulfides. The oxygen isotope composition of pore water sulfate from low grade ore samples indicates that the oxidation process proceeds relatively slowly in O2-depleted waters, probably without significant microbial catalysis.  相似文献

Abstract

The sudden collapse of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) may relate to ocean climate, or regime shifts as demonstrated in production of Pacific salmon. This paper reports the results of stable oxygen isotope ratio analyses (18O/16O or δ18OA) from 91 otoliths of cod over a period of about 20 years. Seasonal δ18OA variations of individual otoliths started at an initial value of about ?0.5 to 0‰ VPDB, and then reached a stable level in the range of +2.5 to +3.5‰ VPDB after 4–5 years. The initial low values correspond to the natal sources of mature cod, while the higher δ18OA values represent the water conditions before the cod was caught. This pattern of δ18OA variation was observed over the life history of all cod examined. Furthermore, the calculated isotopic temperatures agreed with those obtained from summer bottom trawl survey, indicating that δ18OA of otoliths could be used as a thermometer in determining the ambient seawater temperature where the cod lived. Comparison of long-term δ18OA records and biological and meteorological observations suggested that decadal-scale ecosystem changes did occur in the late 1970s and early 1990s in Atlantic Canada, comparable to regime shifts occurred in the North Pacific.  相似文献

Data from a 10-month monitoring study during 2007 in the Everglades ecosystem provide insight into the variation of δ18O, δD, and ion chemistry in surface water and shallow groundwater. Surface waters are sensitive to dilution from rainfall and input from external sources. Shallow groundwater, on the other hand, remains geochemically stable during the year. Surface water input from canals derived from draining agricultural areas to the north and east of the Everglades is evident in the ion data. δ18O and δD values in shallow groundwater remain near the mean of?2.4 and?12 ‰, respectively. 18O and D values are enriched in surface water compared with shallow groundwater and fluctuate in sync with those measured in rainfall. The local meteoric water line (LMWL) for precipitation is in close agreement with the global meteoric water line; however, the local evaporation line (LEL) for surface water and shallow groundwater is δ D=5.6 δ18O+1.5, a sign that these waters have experienced evaporation. The intercept of the LMWL and LEL indicates that the primary recharge to the Everglades is tropical cyclones or fronts. δ deuterium to δ18O excess (Dex values) generally reveal two moisture sources for precipitation, a maritime source during the fall and winter (D ex>10 ‰) and a continental-influenced source (D ex<10 ‰) in the spring and summer.  相似文献

Stable carbon and oxygen isotope analyses were conducted on pedogenic needle fibre calcite (NFC) from seven sites in areas with roughly similar temperate climates in Western Europe, including the Swiss Jura Mountains, eastern and southern France, northern Wales, and north-eastern Spain. The δ13C values (?12.5 to?6.8 ‰ Vienna Pee Dee Belemnite (VPDB)) record the predominant C3 vegetation cover at the sites. A good correlation was found between mean monthly climatic parameters (air temperature, number of frost days, humidity, and precipitation) and δ18O values (?7.8 to?3.4‰ VPDB) of all the NFC. Similar seasonal variations of δ18O values for monthly NFC samples from the Swiss sites and those of mean monthly δ18O values of local precipitation and meteorological data point out precipitation and preferential growth/or recrystallisation of the pedogenic needle calcite during dry seasons. These covariations indicate the potential of stable isotope compositions of preserved NFC in fossil soil horizons as a promising tool for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions.  相似文献

The precipitation is the input into the water system. Its stable isotope composition has to be known for the proper use and management of water resources. Croatia is not well represented in the Global Network of Isotopes in Precipitation (GNIP) database, and the geomorphology of the country causes specific local conditions. Therefore, at the Stable Isotope Laboratory (SILab), Rijeka, we monitor the stable isotope composition (δ18O, δ2H) of precipitation. Since δ18O and δ2H are well correlated, we concentrate the discussion on the δ18O distribution. Together with GNIP, our database contains 40 stations in Croatia and in the neighbouring countries. Their different latitudes, longitudes and altitudes give information of great detail, including the influence of the topographic structure on the precipitation in the south-eastern part of Europe, as well as the complex interplay of the different climate conditions in the area. Within a few hundred kilometres, the stable isotope values display a significant change from the maritime character in the south (mean δ18O around?6 to?8%‰) to the continental behaviour in the north (mean δ18O around?8 to?11%‰). Depending on the location, the mean δ18O values vary with altitude at a rate of approximately?0.2%‰/100 m and?0.4%‰/100 m, respectively. Also the deuterium excess has been found to depend on location and altitude. The data are being used to construct a δ18O map for the entire area.  相似文献

Secondary carbonate precipitates (dripstones) formed on concrete surfaces in four different environments – Mediterranean and continental open-space and indoor environments (inside a building and in a karstic cave) – were studied. The fabric of dripstones depends upon water supply, pH of mother solution and carbonate-resulting precipitation rate. Very low δ13C (average?28.2‰) and δ18O (average?18.4‰) values showed a strong positive correlation, typical for carbonate precipitated by rapid dissolution of CO2 in a highly alkaline solution and consequent disequilibrium precipitation of CaCO3. The main source of carbon is atmospheric or biogenic CO2 in the poorly ventilated karstic cave, which is reflected in even lower δ13C values. Statistical analysis of δ13C and δ18O values of the four groups of samples showed that the governing factor of isotope fractionation is not the temperature, but rather the precipitation rate.  相似文献

Abstract

Apple snails Pomacea lineata (SPIX 1827) are widespread in the tropical regions of Brazil as well as in the Pantanal wetland of Mato Grosso in the western part of the country. They have a key position in the Pantanal food web and serve as food for many animals e.g. fishes, birds, and caimans. However, little is known about their feeding preferences and growth rates. Stable isotopes have been used successfully on numerous studies as food source indicator. Therefore, the δ15N and δ13C values of snails from 0.45 to 3.03cm in length, which were collected in the rainy season from March through May, were analyzed. Snails signatures revealed ambiguous evidence for food preferences. δ15N and δ13C values ranged between ?2.8 and 12.4‰ and between ?24.2 and ?16.4‰, respectively. This range of values mirrors the highly variable isotope values of possible food sources comprising C3 and C4 macrophytes. To test whether all common food sources were similarly assimilated, feeding experiments with different diets were conducted. Snail eggs were reared in tanks and offered different but single plants. Snails fed different diets and δ13C values of the food were reflected in the animal tissue. Growth varied considerably in experiments with different diets indicating the preference for certain food sources. Also, the fractionation of nitrogen isotopes between food and animal varied from 0.1 to 17.0‰. The results are explained by different feeding habits, and it is supposed that animals fed either on the plant itself or on bacteria mats growing in the tanks. In an additional experiment juvenile snails were offered one single food with a distinctive C4 grass signature. These snails did not grow detectably, but nevertheless isotope signatures approached to values of the diet.  相似文献

Abstract

The stable isotope composition of hydrogen (δ2H) and oxygen (δ18O) in monthly precipitation and river water (Sava River and Danube) samples in the Belgrade area gathered between 1992 and 2005 are determined. The local meteoric water line δ2H=7.8 (±0.2) δ18O+7.3(±1.6) (r 2=0.98, n=60, σ=0.52) for the whole period of observation is close to the global meteoric water line. The amount-weighted mean δ2H and δ18O values of precipitation were?65±27 ‰ and?9.4±3.4 ‰, respectively. Good correlation between δ18O values (r>rsim0.67) and ambient temperature and relative humidity was obtained. Stream-water data ranged from?94 to?60 ‰ for δ2H and from?11.0 to ~5.7 ‰ for δ18O with highly statistically significant difference (p>0.01) between the Sava River and the Danube. In addition, the isotopic compositions of local precipitation and adjacent river water at monitoring sites were compared. Obtained data will give an opportunity to improve the knowledge of mixing stream water and local groundwater, and assessment of potential groundwater risks and pressures in the Belgrade basin.  相似文献

Nitrate is a key component of synthetic fertilizers that can be beneficial to crop production in agro-ecosystems, but can also cause damage to natural ecosystems if it is exported in large amounts. Stable isotopes, both oxygen and nitrogen, have been used to trace the sources and fate of nitrate in various ecosystems. However, the oxygen isotope composition of synthetic and organic nitrates is poorly constrained. Here, we present a study on the N and O isotope composition of nitrate-based fertilizers. The δ15N values of synthetic and natural nitrates were 0?±?2?‰ similar to the air N2 from which they are derived. The δ18O values of synthetic nitrates were 23?±?3?‰, similar to air O2, and natural nitrate fertilizer δ18O values (55?±?5?‰) were similar to those observed in atmospheric nitrate. The Δ17O values of synthetic fertilizer nitrate were approximately zero following a mass-dependent isotope relationship, while natural nitrate fertilizers had Δ17O values of 18?±?2?‰ similar to nitrate produced photochemically in the atmosphere. These narrow ranges of values can be used to assess the amount of nitrate arising from fertilizers in mixed systems where more than one nitrate source exists (soil, rivers, and lakes) using simple isotope mixing models.  相似文献

Abstract

Stable isotope (13C, 18O, 34S) and trace element (Sr2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Ba2+, Na+) investigations of elemental sulfur, primary calcites and mixtures of aragonite with secondary, post-aragonitic calcite from sulfur-bearing limestones have provided new insights into the geochemistry of the mineral forming environment of the native sulfur deposit at Machów (SE-Poland). The carbon isotopic composition of carbonates (δ13C = ?41 to ?47‰ vs. PDB) associated with native sulfur (δ34S = + 10 to + 15‰ vs. V-CDT) relates their formation to the microbiological anaerobic oxidation of methane and the reduction of sulfate derived from Miocene gypsum. From a comparison with experimentally derived fractionation factors the element ratios of the aqueous fluids responsible for carbonate formation are estimated. In agreement with field and laboratory observations, ratios near seawater composition are obtained for primary aragonite, whereas the fluids were relatively enriched in dissolved calcium during the formation of primary and secondary calcites. Based on the oxygen isotope composition of the carbonates (δ18O = ?3.9 to ?5.9‰ vs. PDB) and a secondary SrSO418O = + 20‰ vs. SMOW; δ34S = + 59‰ vs. V-CDT), maximum formation temperatures of 35°C (carbonates) and 47°C (celestite) are obtained, in agreement with estimates for West Ukraine sulfur ores. The sulfur isotopic composition of elemental sulfur associated with carbonates points to intense microbial reduction of sulfate derived from Miocene gypsum (δ34S ≈ + 23‰) prior to the re-oxidation of dissolved reduced sulfur species.  相似文献

Abstract

The isotopic composition of tree-ring cellulose was obtained over a two-year period from small diameter, riparian zone trees along an elevational transect in Big Cottonwood Canyon, Utah, USA to test for a possible temperature dependence of net biological fractionation during cellulose synthesis. The isotope ratios of stream water varied by only 3.6‰ and 0.2‰ in δD and δ18O, respectively, over an elevation change of 810m. The similarity in stream water and macroenvironment over the short (13km) transect produced nearly constant stem and leaf water δD and δ18O values. In addition, what few seasonal variations observed in the isotopic composition of source water and atmospheric water vapor or in leaf water evaporative enrichment were experienced equally by all sites along the elevational transect. The temperature at each site along the transect spanned a range of ≥ 5°C as calculated using the adiabatic lapse rate. Since the δD and δ18O values of stem and leaf water varied little for these trees over this elevation/ temperature transect, any differences in tree-ring cellulose δD and δ18O values should have been associated with temperature effects on net biological fractionation. However, the slopes of the regressions of elevation versus the δD and δ18O values of tree-ring cellulose were not significantly different from zero indicating little or no temperature dependence of net biological fractionation. Therefore, cross-site climatic reconstruction studies using the isotope ratios of cellulose need not be concerned that temperatures during the growing season have influenced results.  相似文献

Abstract

Surface water and deep and shallow groundwater samples were taken from selected parts of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg to determine the isotopic composition of nitrate and sulfate, in order to identify sources and/or processes affecting these solutes. Deep groundwater had sulfate concentrations between 20 and 40mg/L, δ34Ssulfate values between ?3.0 and ?20.0‰, and δ18Osulfate values between +1.5 and +5.0‰ nitrate was characterized by concentrations varying between <0.5 and 10mg/L, δ15Nnitrate values of ~?0.5‰, and δ18Onitrate values ~+3.0‰. In the shallow groundwater, sulfate concentrations ranged from 25 to 30mg/L, δ34Ssulfate values from ?20.0 to +4.5‰, and δ18Osulfate values from ~+0.5 to +4.5‰ nitrate concentrations varied between ~10 and 75mg/L, δ15Nnitrate values between +2.5 and +10.0‰, and δ18Onitrate values between +1.0 and +3.0‰. In surface water, sulfate concentrations ranged from 10 to 210mg/L, δ34Ssulfate values varied between ?9.3 and +10.9‰, and δ18Osulfate values between +3.0 and +10.7‰ were observed. Nitrate concentrations ranged from 10 to 40mg/L, δ15Nnitrate values from +6.5 to +12.0‰, and δ18Onitrate values from ?0.4 to +4.0‰. Based on these data, three sulfate sources were identified controlling the riverine sulfate load. These are soil sulfate, dissolution of evaporites, and oxidation of reduced S minerals in the bedrock. Both groundwater types were predominantly influenced by sulfate from the two latter lithogenic S sources. The deep groundwater and a couple shallow groundwater samples had nitrate derived mainly from soil nitrification. All other sampling sites were influenced by nitrate originating from sewage and/or manure. A decrease in nitrate concentration observed along one of the rivers was attributed to denitrification. It appears that sulfate within Luxembourg's aquatic ecosystem is mainly of lithogenic origin, whereas nitrate is often derived from anthropogenic activities.  相似文献
