中文摘要 | The climate of the South China Sea is dominated by the East Asian monsoon (EAM) system. Existing paleoclimate reconstructions offered an excellent insight into longer-term EAM variations. However, due to a lack of appropriate high-resolution paleoclimate data, relatively little is known about the frequency and strength of EAM extremes during the Holocene. To evaluate and establish a potential proxy archive for past variations of the EAM on shorter time-scales, we have carried out a calibration study on shells of the bivalve mollusk, Paphia undulata (Born 1778) from Daya Bay, China. This species has a short lifespan (3 years). Shells grow uninterruptedly between February/March and mid-November and are formed near oxygen isotopic (delta O-18) equilibrium with the ambient environment. Shell growth patterns, delta O-18(shell) and delta C-13(shell) values, can be used to estimate the relative amount of precipitation and terrestrial runoff. Therefore, shells of this species can provide reliable, sub-seasonally resolved data on past East Asian summer monsoon strengths. The feasibility of this method has been tested with two Holocene shells from sediment cores taken from the nearby Beibu Gulf. A rather peculiar finding is that shell growth of P. undulata seems to be largely uncoupled to measured local environmental variables. Growth rates are negatively correlated to seawater temperature and chlorophyll a levels and positively to salinity. It is hypothesized here that extraordinary fast shell growth in early spring (February/March; low temperature and primary productivity) are facilitated by preserved energy resources, ensuring that the bivalve quickly reaches the predation window and the required size for reproduction. |
