High－resolution precipitation variations in the Northeast Tibetan Plateau over the last 800 years documented by sediment cores of Qinghai Lake

Short cores of about 80-cm retrieved from three main basins of th e deepwater areas in Qinghai Lake,the largest inland enclosed lake in China, were studied. Sta-ble isotopes of authigenlc carbonates, grain-size, carbonate and organic matter content at 5-year resolution are used to reconstruct the climatic history over the last 800 years in the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau. Chronology was established according to 210^pb dating and 137^Cs methods and the core corrdation. It is found that cores from different deep basins of the lake can be well correlated. The sedimentary rate is highest in the western basin of the lake and lowest in the east.In the southern basin of the lake where the short core Qing-6is located, the recent average sedimentation rate is 0.1004cm/yr. Variations in effective precipitation recorded by the oxygen isotopes and grain size data durine the last 800 years are consistent with the glacial accumulation record form the Dunde and Guliya ice cores. A dry climate lasted for 300 years from 1200 AD to 1500 AD, followed by a wet period from 1500 to 1560 AD. The two dry periods, 1560 to 1650 AD and 1780 to 1850 AD, were the results of southwest monsoon weakening. The effective precipitation generally increased since 1650 AD due to the strengthening of the Asian South-west Monsoon, resulting in a wet period until the 1950s. Ex-cept the early stage, the Little Ice Age on the Plateau is characterized b y increased effective moisture. Organic mat-ter content, with nearly 200-year cycles, shows similar trend with the atmospheric delta earbon-14 before the 1850s, indi-eating that the bioproductivity responds to solar activity.     

青海湖全新世短尺度水体环境演变的初步研究

青海湖是闻名世界的高原内陆咸水湖，在湖滨岩线附近发育的特殊岩石－青海湖湖滩岩是研究第四幻气候事件与古湖面变化的标志岩石。湖滩岩的主要成岩期为全新世，其成岩序列发现有５１４０、４７００－４４００、３８８０－３６００、２８２０－２７２０、２５３０－２４６０、１９７０－１９００、１５３０－１４５０ａ等七个阶段。     

迁徙候鸟与禽流感病毒

众所周知,禽流感不仅对养禽业造成了沉重打击,而且给人类健康带来了严重威胁。虽然迁徙鸟类是禽流感病毒的自然贮存宿主,但在2005年前未发生过迁徙鸟因感染禽流感病毒而造成的大批死亡事件。2005年5月初在我国青海湖发生了斑头雁、棕头鸥等品种候鸟的成     

青海湖北岸植被特征研究

根据青了孔和ＱＨ８５－１４Ｃ孔的孢粉分析资料以及对青海湖北岸植物群落的系统取样调查，对该地区的植被进行了区系、生活型、演变趋势及环境因子等综合研究。结果表明：（１）该地区现有种子植物２６科、７５属、１４２种，其地理成分复杂，分布区交错，起源有老有新，特有种、属少，种类不多；（２）自然植被可分为７个植被型、２４个群落；（３）与本地区高寒的气候特征相适应，植物群落以地上芽植物和隐芽植物为主；（４）全新世以来，随着气候由暖→冷，湿→干、植被演变趋势为森林草原→森林→温性草原；（５）影响植被分异的主要环境因子为海拔（热量）、大气温度和大气湿度。     

青海湖封湖3年对裸鲤种群结构的影响初探

本文对青海湖裸鲤在封湖三年前后种群结构的变化进行了分析研究,肯定了封湖三年的成效,并指出封湖三年为期过短,尚不足以使裸鲤资源恢复到维持生态平衡的水平。     

普氏原羚：高原上的精灵

在美丽的青海湖畔辽阔的草场上,如果你运气和眼力够好,或是身边正好幸运地有一位当地藏族朋友指点一番的话,借助望远镜,你可能会发现远处有一群皮毛呈棕红色的羚羊,轻盈地奔向远方草坡,然后机警地驻足回望。居住在青海湖周边的藏族同胞称它们为＂Guo-bu-shi＂（音）,也就是黄羊的意思。不过,它们的真名是普氏原羚。     

青海湖裸鲤油脂中脂肪酸初步分析

用乙醚－正乙烷混合溶剂提取青海湖裸鲤油脂;用氢氧化钾－甲醇酯交换法甲酯化,以毛细管气相色谱法测定脂肪酸组成,鉴定了１５种主要脂肪酸,其中以棕榈酸,棕榈油酸,油酸、α－亚麻酸,二十碳五烯酸（ＥＰＡ）和二十二碳六烯酸（ＤＨＡ）为主。     

青海湖流域河流表层沉积物中金属元素生态风险评价

为了解青海湖流域河流表层沉积物中金属元素的分布情况,对流域内河流表层沉积物中36种金属元素的浓度进行测定,并运用地累积指数法、潜在生态风险指数法分析其污染类型及潜在生态风险。结果显示：36种金属元素空间分布不均匀,其中已被量化青海湖流域表层土壤环境背景值的21种金属元素地累积指数(I_geo)值均为负值,其他15种金属元素未被量化土壤环境背景值,表明青海湖流域河流表层沉积物中金属元素无污染,无显著富集现象。锰、砷、镉、铅、镍、铜、铬、锌等8种金属元素潜在生态风险指数(RI)平均值为69.13,为低生态风险级别,但这8种金属元素在布哈河上游、泉吉河和黑马河入湖口处RI值均超过110,为中生态风险级别。冗余分析(RDA)排序图显示：人类活动是影响青海湖流域河流表层沉积物中镉、砷、铅、汞金属元素浓度的关键因子。综上,青海湖流域河流表层沉积物中金属元素空间分布不均匀与青海湖流域周边人为施用化肥农药、交通污染等因素有关,青海湖流域河流表层沉积物中未出现金属元素污染,潜在生态风险等级为低生态风险。
