Zusammenfassung |
Isotopic organic geochemistry (δ13Corg) study has been applied to the Surduk loess-paleosol
sequence in Serbia in parallel with other proxy studies like grain size, pedology,
paleomagnetism, stratigraphy-¦ The studied record covers the last climate cycle from the last
interglacial through the present interglaciation with sedimentation rates as high as 0.6
mm.yr-1 at the onset of the Pleniglacial.
The Serbian sequence provides a high temporal resolution isotopic record that
characterizes paleoclimate rapid events of the last glaciation in the Middle Danube Valley.
Furthermore, it has been shown that, due to the specific sedimentation conditions (high
accumulation, cold and arid meteorological conditions) and if adequate chemical treatment is
applied to sediment, typical loess δ13Corg nicely reflects the original vegetation isotopic
composition. Conversely paleosol δ13Corg can only be interpreted in terms of qualitative
paleoenvironmental variations because of pedogenesis impacts on the original vegetation
isotopic signature. Organic geochemistry investigations allow also the characterization in
terms of environmental parameters (e.g. precipitation annual distribution) of short events
recorded concomitantly by all investigated proxies.
Here we highlight here the cornerstone location of the Middle Danube Valley in the past
atmospheric circulation pattern. By showing the first definitive punctual occurrence of C4
plants for at least 4 episodes while other loess sequences in western European loess
sequences showed presence of the solely C3 plants along the last glaciation, the Surduk
δ13Corg record underlines quite different atmospheric influences that leaded for drastic
aridity during these episodes.
By gathering our record with other continental and Eastern Mediterranean Sea records,
we propose a schema of atmospheric circulation that prevailed during these C4 episodes. |
