摘 要:近200年来青藏高原湖泊生态系统对气候变暖的响应研究多集中在深水湖泊,而对大量浅水湖泊生态系统的研究较为匮乏。本文以青藏高原东南部浅水湖真布错为研究对象,通过对沉积物柱芯的^(210)Pb、^(137)Cs测年和高分辨率硅藻鉴定分析,重建该湖过去200年来硅藻属种组合变化,并结合沉积物总有机碳(TOC)含量、总氮(TN)含量、碳氮比(C/N)等指标,探讨湖泊生态系统对气候变化等因素的响应。结果显示,1820—1950年硅藻组成中水生植物附生种Encyonema lange-bertalotii的百分含量较高,表明真布错水生植物较繁盛,湖水透明度高。1950年以来,硅藻组合发生了突变,附生种Encyonema lange-bertalotii的百分含量快速下降,耐低光照的small Fragilaria成为优势属,表明水生植物衰退,湖水透明度降低;同时TOC和TN含量升高,C/N减小,指示湖泊生产力和营养水平升高,藻类在湖泊有机质中占比增加。气温快速升高、降水量增加(冲刷流域更多营养物质进入湖泊)和人类活动增强(流域内出现新建寺庙)可能共同导致湖泊生产力升高,藻类繁盛,水生植物衰退,水体透明度下降,最终引起硅藻群落的突变。因此,在青藏高原气候暖湿化背景下,浅水湖泊可能面临生态系统的转变,未来应该加强该类湖泊的监测与保护。本文记录的高原浅水湖泊生态系统突变时间与中国和全球其他地区基本一致,这也为确定人类世的地层标记提供了新的证据。青藏高原湖泊可以作为研究人类世的天然实验室。Currently,most studies on the response of lake ecosystems on the Tibetan Plateau to climate warming over the past 200 years have focused on deep lakes,whereas studies on ecosystems characterized by many shallow lakes are scarce.In this paper,we selected the shallow lake Zhenbu Co on the southeastern Tibetan Plateau as the research object.Based on ^(210)Pb and ^(137)Cs dating of sediments and high-resolution diatom identification,the changes in the diatom assemblage over the past 200 years were reconstructed.Combined with total organic carbon(TOC),total nitrogen(TN)and carbon-nitrogen ratio(C/N)of the sediments,the response of the lake ecosystem to climate change was explored.The results showed that during 1820-1950 AD,the content of Encyonema lange-bertalotii in sediment was high,indicating the abundant aquatic plants and high lake-water transparency in Zhenbu Co.Since 1950 AD,the diatom assemblages shifted,decreasing rapidly in Encyonema lange-bertalotii content and increasing in small Fragilaria content,which indicated a decline of aquatic plants and decreased lake-water transparency.Meanwhile,the contents of TOC and TN increased,and the C/N decreased,which indicated that the productivity and nutrient level of the lake increased,and the percentage of algae in the lake organic matter increased.Rapidly rising temperature,increased precipitation(i.e.,more nutrients entering into the lake),and enhanced human activities(i.e.,the appearance of new temples in the watershed)may have jointly led to higher lake productivity and algal bloom content,as well as lower aquatic plant content and decreased water clarity.Eventually,the diatom assemblages abruptly shifted.Based on our results,shallow lakes may face ecosystem shifts in the context of climate warming and humidification on the Tibetan Plateau,and the monitoring and protection of such lakes should be strengthened in the future.The timeline of the abrupt shift of the plateau shallow lake ecosystem in this paper is basically consistent with that in China and other part
