Abstract: |
Located in the middle latitude of Central Asian, the Ili Basin has specific geology, geomorphic
and geography characters, the moisture and warm water flow from the Atlantic Ocean, Caspian Sea,
Balkhash Lake get into the region, thus the climate is very special in the Xinjiang. Because of the
influence of the climate condition, the altitude and the nearby materials, there have some environment
significance differences of the loess between the Ili Basin and the CLP. Loess magnetic susceptibility
(MS) in the Chinese Loess Plateau is usually regarded as an index of East Asian Summer Monsoon
intensity; however, the paleoclimatic significance of loess MS value in Central Arid Asia is still unclear.
In order to break through the barriers in the application of the MS in the paleoclimate research, we must
understand the constraints of the MS. Here the authors report the results of MS, sedimentology and
geochemistry of 38 near-surface loess samples from different geomorphological-climatic units of the Ili
Basin, Xinjiang, Central Asia, and discuss the possible effect factors of loess MS value, and point out a
few remarks about the application of MS in the paleoenvironment research in the Ili basin. The results
show that the MS of the near-surface loess samples are negatively correlated to clay fractions (<2 μm)
and Fe2O3 content, but positively correlated to coarse fractions (>63 μm). Superparamagnetic particlesproduced by pedogensis and fine fractions have limited contribution to loess MS value and coarse
fractions play important role on the enhancement of MS. There is a high degree of complexity of nearsurface
loess susceptibility vary with temperature and precipitation in Ili basin. The loess in the Ili basin
is near its dust source, the wind moving distance is shorter, resulting to the higher proportion of coarse
grain particles, which causes that the susceptibility is positively correlated to coarse fractions. There is
a weak negative correlation between MS and altitude, a weak positive correlation between frequencydependent
susceptibility and altitude. The possible effector factors of loess MS such as the ratio of the
distal aeolian dust and regional sources, climatic conditions and altitude should be considered in the
paleoenvironmental interpretation. |
