英文摘要The Hirnantian Glaciation resulted in a perturbation in global carbon cycling, which is recognized as a positive excursion in the delta C-13 values of both carbonates and organic matter. To investigate the factors controlling the carbon and nitrogen cycles from the late Ordovician to the early Silurian, the C and N isotopic and geochemical compositions of marine sediments deposited on the Yangtze Platform were measured. The majority of rocks in the Wukemuchang section exhibit high delta N-15(bulk) values, reflecting aerobic nitrogen cycling in the inner shelf. The global spatial variation in delta N-15(bulk) values likely reflects the occurrence of nitrate gradients in seawater, implying that nitrate was limited in offshore environments that were characterized by oxic conditions. More eukaryotes may be restricted to the inner shelf environments, where large amounts of bioavailable nitrate were accessible. The limited availability of nitrate may have affected the fossil distributions and the complexity of animal ecosystems, thereby influencing the late Ordovician extinction and early Silurian biotic recovery. The delta C-13(org) profiles from the Yangtze Platform are consistent with earlier reports of Hirnantian shelf gradients in sedimentary delta C-13(DIC) values. We suggest that the global variation in delta(1)3C(org) values during the late Ordovician was related to the amount of nitrate because productivity is limited when bioavailable N is scarce. In addition to intense carbonate weathering, the high level of photosynthesis in the inner shelf caused by abundant nitrate and nutrients may have enhanced the dissolved inorganic carbon gradient on shelves globally, driving sedimentary delta C-13(org) values even higher than those of sediments deposited in the outer shelf where carbon exchange with the surface ocean was less restricted
