摘要:

前人研究认为, 受海因里希1(Heinrich Stadial 1, HS1)早期(约18.3—16.3cal ka BP)北半球降温的影响, 热带辐合带(intertropical convergence zone, ITCZ)雨带的平均位置会向南移动。但是, 最新结果发现, HS1早期北半球低纬度地区(3ºN—9ºN)呈现湿润水文条件, 而其南北部却同步出现干旱。可见HS1早期ITCZ对北大西洋降温事件的响应方向及位移幅度仍存争议。孟加拉湾的海洋炭屑记录保存了周边陆地大量气候成因古火事件的信息。研究发现, 在HS1早期(18.3—16.3 cal ka BP), 位于9°54′N的YDY09孔的炭屑总浓度与木本型炭屑百分比均降至最低, 而草本型炭屑百分比则有所上升, 这表明火灾发生强度急剧降低。这一变化, 结合有孔虫和石笋δ18O记录所揭示的降水减少信号, 可能源于当时气候干旱与温度降低共同导致的植被退化。该结论说明炭屑、孢粉与有孔虫等其他指标重建的印度夏季风降水结果一致, 也与来自10°N的YDY10岩芯和15°N的E87-32B岩芯中常绿阔叶林花粉低值所反映的干旱情形相符。同期, 苏门答腊岛2个孔(分别位于6°N和6°S)的炭屑和孢粉含量也分别显示湿润和干旱, 反映其炭屑和孢粉源区当时处于ITCZ雨带范围内部与外部区域。炭屑与孢粉记录共同揭示, HS1早期在10°N至6°S范围之外存在干旱证据; 结合苏门答腊岛6°N孔的湿润证据, 间接支持了该时期ITCZ位置在6°N两侧。

Abstract:

Previous studies have suggested that the mean position of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) rain belt shifted southward due to the cooling of the Northern Hemisphere during the Heinrich Stadial 1 (HS1) early period (approximately 18.3-16.3 cal ka BP). However, recent studies indicate that wet conditions prevailed in the low-latitude region (3°N-9°N) of the Northern Hemisphere during the early HS1 period, while adjacent regions to the north and south were arid. It can be seen that the response and displacement amplitude of the ITCZ to the cooling event in the North Atlantic during early HS1 remain controversial. Marine charcoal records from the Bay of Bengal may preserve critical information about climate-driven palaeo-fire events from the surrounding land. In this study, we observe that the total concentration of charcoal and the percentage of woody charcoal in core YDY09 (located at 9°54′N) decreased to their lowest levels in early HS1, while the percentage of herbaceous charcoal increased. This suggests a sharp reduction in the strength of fire events, consistent with decreased rainfall inferred from the δ18O records of foraminifera and stalagmites and other proxies. The decline in fire strength may be related to reduced vegetation cover under drier climate and cooler climatic conditions, which aligns with evidence of aridity from low pollen values of evergreen broad-leaved forests in core YDY10 (located at 10°N) and core E87-32B (located at 15ºN) from the Bay of Bengal. During the same period, the charcoal and pollen contents in two cores on Sumatra Island (located at 6°N and 6°S, respectively) also showed humid and arid conditions, indicating that the charcoal and pollen source areas were inside and outside the ITCZ rain belt at that time. Reconstructed results of Indian Summer Monsoon precipitation based on micro-charcoal, pollen, foraminifera, and other indicators are consistent. For the first time, combined charcoal and pollen records reveal the evidence of drought outside the range of 10°N to 6°S in the early stage of HS1, while moist evidence from the 6°N core on Sumatra Island indirectly supports the inference that the ITCZ centered around 6° N during this period.
