英文摘要 | Carbon isotope analysis of pedogenic carbonate (delta C-13(Carb)) and soil organic matter (delta C-13(TOC)) is widely applied in reconstructions of terrestrial paleovegetation. The delta C-13 of different archives is considered well matched and equally reflects the proportion of C-3/C-4 plant biomass covering the soil profile. However, modern soil and paleosol sequences provide substantial evidence that delta C-13(Carb) and delta C-13(TOC) do not always match, raising doubts about the accuracy of quantitative C-4 plant reconstructions. Here we report paired delta C-13 records of pedogenic carbonates and organic matter occluded within carbonate nodules from the Shaozhai section in the central Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP). The delta C-13(Carb) record exhibits a positive anomaly and exceeds the theoretical fractionation range with the coexisting delta C-13(TOC) record during the expansion of C4 plants. The possibility of contamination by detrital carbonates and atmospheric CO2 affecting delta C-13(Carb) was ruled out based on the morphological features, mineral fractions, and geochemical composition of carbonate nodules. Our study suggests that the enhanced respiration of C-4 plants during pedogenic carbonate precipitation may have caused positive shifts in delta C-13(Carb) records, supporting the hypothesis that the discrepancy in carbon sources explains the delta C-13(Carb) positive anomaly. Thus, the delta C-13(Carb) could reflect the maximum relative abundance of C-4 plants during their metabolic peaks. |
