甲烷和二氧化碳是气候活跃的温室气体 (GHG),是全球快速变暖的强大驱动因素。与北极相比,热带地区储存了大量不稳定的沉积碳,很容易受到气候变化的影响。然而,人们对这种不稳定的碳库知之甚少,特别是高产甲烷环境(例如湿地)的行为,以及它们在驱动或应对过去时期全球气候变化中的作用。在这项研究中,我们使用微生物生物标记方法,追踪刚果河附近深海扇沉积物中沉积有机物的大陆需氧甲烷氧化(AMO),以重建全球更新世温暖关键时期中非甲烷循环与大陆输出之间的联系。我们使用 35-氨基细菌藿烷多元醇 (BHP),特别是氨基细菌藿烷-31,32,33,34-四醇 (aminotetrol) 和 35-氨基细菌藿烷-30,31,32,33,34-戊醇 (aminopentol) 作为 AMO(CH4 氧化标记)和大陆湿地环境患病率的诊断分子标记。对刚果扇 (ODP 1075) 2.5 Ma 沉积物中的必和必拓进行了分析。对关键暖海洋同位素阶段 (MIS) 5、11 和 13 进行高分辨率研究,以测试不同全球大气温室气体升高水平下沉积物中 CH4 氧化标记之间的关系。这项研究呈现了迄今为止最古老的报道,海底以下 200 m(~2.5 Ma)的 35-氨基 BHP 出现,没有观察到强烈的降解特征。在 1.7 Ma 和 1 Ma 之间发现的低浓度 CH4 氧化标记表明,热带非洲的湿地范围有所减少,以应对更加干旱的环境条件。 MIS 5、11 和 13 期间高分辨率 CH4 氧化标记特征与全球大气温室气体浓度的相关性进一步强调了热带碳循环增强的时期。然而,需要进行后续分析,以进一步推断热带甲烷来源作为更新世期间全球甲烷浓度驱动因素的相对重要性。
Methane and CO2are climatically active greenhouse gases (GHG) and are powerful drivers of rapid global warming. Comparable to the Arctic, the tropics store large volumes of labile sedimentary carbon that is vulnerable to climate change. However, little is known about this labile carbon reservoir, in particular the behaviour of high methane–producing environments (e.g. wetlands), and their role in driving or responding to past periods of global climate change. In this study, we use a microbial biomarker approach that traces continental aerobic methane oxidation (AMO) from sedimentary organic matter in deep-sea fan sediments off the Congo River to reconstruct the link between central African methane cycling and continental export during key periods of global Pleistocene warmth. We use 35-amino bacteriohopanepolyols (BHPs), specifically aminobacteriohopane-31,32,33,34-tetrol (aminotetrol) and 35-aminobacteriohopane-30,31,32,33,34-pentol (aminopentol) as diagnostic molecular markers for AMO (CH4oxidation markers) and the prevalence of continental wetland environments. BHPs were analysed in sediments from the Congo fan (ODP 1075) dated to 2.5 Ma. High resolution studies of key warm marine isotope stages (MIS) 5, 11 and 13 are included to test the relationship between CH4oxidation markers in sediments at different levels of elevated global atmospheric GHG.This study presents the oldest reported occurrence, to date, of 35-amino BHPs up to 200 m below sea floor (∼2.5 Ma) with no strong degradation signature observed. Low concentrations of CH4oxidation markers identified between 1.7 Ma and 1 Ma suggest a reduction in wetland extent in tropical Africa in response to more arid environmental conditions. Correlation of high resolution CH4oxidation marker signatures with global atmospheric GHG concentrations during MIS 5, 11 and 13 further emphasize periods of enhanced tropical C cycling. However, subsequent analysis would be required to further extrapolate the relative importance of tropical methane sources as a driver of global methane concentrations during the Pleistocene.
