英文摘要 | The stable oxygen and carbon isotope composition (delta O-18(shell) and delta C-13(shell)) of land snail shells preserved in Chinese eolian loess deposits have the potential to reconstruct past changes in the East Asian Summer Monsoon (EASM) since the late Oligocene. To assess the potential of delta O-18(shell) and delta C-13(shell) for the semi-quantitative reconstruction of past variations of the EASM, we studied modern snails and the corresponding vegetation composition of three distinct ecosystems (woodland, grassland and mountains), spanning a large rainfall gradient (1781403 mm) in the mid-latitude East Asian monsoon region. The results show that different snail species in the three ecosystems have significantly different values of delta O-18(shell) and delta C-13(shell). The snails in woodland from the eastern plain area have significantly lower delta O-18(shell) and delta C-13(shell) values than those of snails in grassland from the Chinese Loess Plateau, and the snails from the Qinba Mountains region have values intermediate between the two. Systematic variations of the delta C-13 of snail shells, body tissues and local plants are evident along the rainfall gradient, indicating that delta C-13(shell) is mainly influenced by the delta C-13 of ingested plants, which is controlled by the EASM. We confirm that delta C-13(shell) is a reliable precipitation proxy and we obtained a new empirical equation (delta C-13(shell) = -0.0030(+/- 0.0003) MAP - 8.80(+/- 0.32), r = -0.76, n = 74, p < 0.001) for the relationship between delta C-13(shell) and mean annual precipitation, which is based on the results of the present study, together with those of Bao et al. (2018). We infer that delta O-18(shell) is influenced by precipitation delta O-18, and that here is a significant relationship between d18Oshell and mean annual precipitation (delta O-18(shell) = -0.0028(+/- 0.0008) MAP - 1.32(+/- 0.58), r = -0.65, p < 0.05, n = 21), possibly because of the rainfall amount effect in the study region. In addition, temperature and evaporation associated with relative humidity play non-negligible roles in determining delta O-18(shell), and their effects should be considered before using the delta O-18 of fossil snail shells to reconstruct precipitation delta O-18 and/or rainfall amount. |
