英文摘要 | Knowledge of the structures and intensities of past glaciations is crucial for understanding Quaternary palaeoclimatic evolution. Terrestrial molluscs are a reliable proxy of past environmental conditions and can provide specific climatic insights into glacials. Here we compare the climatic evolution of the last two glacials, based on mollusc fossils from the L2 and L1 loess units (equivalent to Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 6 and 4-2, respectively) of the Xifeng and Luochuan sections of the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP). The results show that both glacials had a tripartite structure but with different intensities, as indicated by variations in the abundance of the dominant cold-aridiphilous (CA) mollusc species,Vallonia teneraandPupilla aeoli. The first stage, from 191 to 184 ka forMIS6, and from 71 to 57 ka forMIS4, was characterized by a cold, arid climate, as indicated by the abundance ofV. teneraandP. aeoli, and the limited occurrence of thermo-humidiphilous (TH) species. The second stage, from 184 to 155 ka forMIS6, and from 57 to 29 ka forMIS3, was characterized by a relatively mild, humid climate, indicated by a decrease inV. teneraandP. aeoli, and an increase inTHspecies. The last stage, from 155 to 130 ka forMIS6, and from 29 to 11.7 ka forMIS2, experienced the coldest and driest conditions, as indicated by the dominance ofV. teneraandP. aeoliin lateMIS6 and by the reduced occurrence of the grassland biomass, necessary for the growth ofCAspecies, inMIS2. The climate duringMIS2 was much colder and drier than that during lateMIS6. We suggest that the structures of the glacials were controlled mainly by insolation driven by changing astronomical configurations, amongst which obliquity likely played the major role. The different glacial intensities across theCLPmay also have been related to variations in Northern Hemisphere ice sheets and the temperature of the tropical oceans. |
