Abstract

Abstract

In light of the U-series dating results, 900 annual laminae, 320 C and O isotopes data and gray level data of stalagmite NH33 from the Nuanhe Cave, δ13C and gray level sequence of the stalagmite in recent 1000 years in the Holocene Optimun (8638±60 - 7748±53 a BP) are established. The paleo-climate significance of δ13C is confirmed by the consistent changing trend between the detail features of the gray series and the carbon isotope. On centennial-scale, stalagmite δ13C mainly corresponds to temperature changes and is driven by changes in ground surface biomass. Paleo-environments interpreted by the stalagmite-series can be divided into three climate-stages, that is well fitted with the pollen record at the same time: (1) Warm stage (8655 - 8366 a BP); (2) Cold stage (8366 - 8048 a BP); (3) Moderately warm stage (8048 - 7756 a BP). Among them, the second stage coincides with the “8.2 ka BP cold event” recorded in the Greenland ice cores. Some non-climate factors are also contained in stalagmite δ13C, which is led by changes in dissolved CaCO3 of the wall rock affected mainly by water seepage rate. Making regression analysis on the stalagmite δ13C and gray level data can effectively avoid the non-climate factors led by the hydrodynamic conditions.
