    Triple‐Element Stable Isotope Analysis of Chloromethane Emitted by Royal Fern and Degraded by Club Moss (2023)
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-09-12
    Beschreibung: 〈title xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"〉Abstract〈/title〉〈p xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xml:lang="en"〉Chloromethane (CH〈sub〉3〈/sub〉Cl) is the most abundant natural chlorinated organic compound in the atmosphere playing an important role in catalyzing stratospheric ozone loss. Vegetation emits the largest amounts of CH〈sub〉3〈/sub〉Cl to the atmosphere but its source strength is highly uncertain leading also to large uncertainties in the global budget of CH〈sub〉3〈/sub〉Cl. Triple‐element stable isotope analysis may help to reduce uncertainties because it provides additional process‐level information compared to conventional quantification methods. In this study we performed experiments to obtain a first triple‐elemental isotopic fingerprint (〈sup〉2〈/sup〉H, 〈sup〉13〈/sup〉C, 〈sup〉37〈/sup〉Cl) of CH〈sub〉3〈/sub〉Cl emitted by a relevant plant species (royal fern, 〈italic〉Osmunda regalis〈/italic〉). Isotopic values of all three elements showed considerable differences compared to isotopic values of industrially manufactured CH〈sub〉3〈/sub〉Cl which bodes well for future applications to distinguish individual sources. Isotopic analysis of potential precursors (rain, methoxy groups) of CH〈sub〉3〈/sub〉Cl in plants revealed no measurable change of hydrogen and chlorine isotopic ratios during formation which may provide a simpler route to estimate the isotopic composition of CH〈sub〉3〈/sub〉Cl emissions. Plant degradation experiments of CH〈sub〉3〈/sub〉Cl were carried out with club moss (〈italic〉Selaginella kraussiana〈/italic〉) revealing significant isotopic fractionation for all three elements. The fractionation pattern characterized by epsilon and lambda is inconsistent with known biotic dechlorination reactions indicating a yet unreported biotic degradation mechanism for CH〈sub〉3〈/sub〉Cl. Overall, this study provides first insights into the triple‐elemental isotopic fingerprint of plant emissions and degradation. The results may represent important input data for future isotope‐based models to improve global budget estimates of CH〈sub〉3〈/sub〉Cl and to explore the yet unknown degradation pathways.〈/p〉
    Beschreibung: Plain Language Summary: Chloromethane is the most abundant chlorinated organic compound in the atmosphere. It contributes to the destruction of the ozone layer that protects us from skin cancer and genetic damage. Currently, we do not have a good understanding of the sources and removal processes of chloromethane in the atmosphere. In this paper, we use a technique that takes advantage of the different varieties of a chemical element. These so‐called isotopes behave differently during chemical reactions that lead to individual isotopic fingerprints depending on the source or removal process. We used isotopic fingerprints of all three chemical elements in chloromethane and showed that chloromethane produced by a plant (royal fern) differs substantially from chloromethane manufactured by industry. Other plant species such as club moss are able to remove chloromethane from the atmosphere but it is often not clear how this occurs. Isotopic analysis revealed that the studied club moss uses a unique, thus far unknown, way to break down chloromethane. This study demonstrates how information extracted from isotopic fingerprints will help to improve our understanding of sources and removal processes of chloromethane in the atmosphere. It can help to better predict how ozone destruction in the stratosphere affects us in the future.〈/p〉

Plant degradation experiments suggest another yet unknown transformation pathway. Important input data for future isotope based models to improve understanding of global CH〈sub〉3〈/sub〉Cl budget.

    Temporal Variability of Fluvial Sand Composition: An Annual Time Series From Four Rivers in SW Germany (2023)
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-09-13
    Beschreibung: 〈title xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"〉Abstract〈/title〉〈p xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xml:lang="en"〉The sampling of fluvial sediment is subject to many sources of uncertainty, for example, time and location, and the number of samples collected. It is nevertheless commonly assumed that a sample taken at one time and location provides a somewhat averaged compositional signal. Any spatial or temporal variability of this signal is often neglected. This study investigates how the composition of bed load sand changes over an observation period of 1 year in four river basins with differing bedrock geology in southwestern Germany. Up to 12 bulk sediment samples were taken at the same locations using the same approach and analyzed for their granulometry and geochemistry. The results indicate that (a) different grain sizes yield different compositions due to source rock composition and hydraulic sorting effects, (b) bulk sediment composition changes temporally due to changing grain‐size distribution, and (c) compared to the bulk sample, the composition of narrow grain sizes is temporally more stable but nevertheless has an average variability of 15%. Because heavy mineral‐bound elements such as Zr have the highest variability, we relate a major component of compositional variability to temporally varying heavy mineral concentrations in response to hydrodynamic processes. Mixing modeling demonstrates that the fluvial sand faithfully reflects its catchment geology and that the sediment sources do not change substantially during the observation period, even during a flooding event. We conclude (a) that the causes for compositional variability may be disentangled using chemical and granulometric time series data and (b) that narrow grain sizes yield representative source rock contributions.〈/p〉
    Beschreibung: Plain Language Summary: Sediment transported by rivers is generated by the erosion of the rocks present within the river catchment area. The composition of this sediment is controlled by various processes in the catchment, for example, climate, rock type, weathering, and flow strength. Geoscientists can use modern river sediment to understand how these processes impact sediment composition, and then apply this information to the geologic time. Sampling the river sediment is often the first step in such studies, but few studies consider the sources of uncertainty during sampling, for example, time and location of sampling, and number of collected samples. For this study, we returned to the same river location during the course of 1 year to take bulk sediment samples and analyzed how variable the size of sediment grains and the sediment chemistry are. We discovered that different grain sizes yield different chemical compositions, and this is caused by differences in rock type and hydraulic processes. Because the proportion of different grain sizes in the bulk sediment changes over the year due to water flow conditions, the chemistry of the bulk sediment sample changes over the year. We provide some quantitative estimates for this variability that should be considered in similar studies.〈/p〉
    Beschreibung: Key Points: Bed load sand from 4 rivers was sampled monthly over the course of 1 year to analyze the temporal compositional variability. Composition is grain‐size‐dependent, and narrow grain‐size fractions show less variability than bulk sediment samples. Composition changes during the year, and this is related to changing grain‐size distributions rather than changing sediment sources.

    Systematic Across‐Arc Variations of Molybdenum Isotopes in a Fluid‐Dominated Subduction Zone System (2023)
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-11-27
    Beschreibung: 〈title xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"〉Abstract〈/title〉〈p xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xml:lang="en"〉Mass‐dependent Mo isotope variations are a promising new tracer to study magmatic processes in different geological settings. We report the first Mo isotope data for the Kamchatka arc system in the Northwest Pacific, comprising basaltic lavas of a complete Southeast‐Northwest traverse from the volcanic arc front through to the back arc region. The majority of volcanic centers investigated directly override the Hawaii‐Emperor Seamount Chain, which is currently being subducted underneath the arc system. Our Mo isotope data show systematic trends with Ce/Pb, Ce/Mo, Nb/Zr, La/Sm, and 〈sup〉143〈/sup〉Nd/〈sup〉144〈/sup〉Nd ratios from the volcanic arc front to the back arc. Arc front lavas have higher δ〈sup〉98/95〈/sup〉Mo and lower Ce/Pb, Ce/Mo, Nb/Zr, La/Sm compared to back arc lavas. Because the involvement of subducted sediments can be excluded, we attribute the observed variations to a change in the mantle source composition from the arc front to the back arc regions. The isotopic and chemical budget of arc front lavas is dominated by a slab fluid component (high δ〈sup〉98/95〈/sup〉Mo, low Ce/Pb, Ce/Mo), whereas mantle‐like Ce/Pb, Ce/Mo, elevated Nb/Zr and La/Sm in the back arc samples suggest an enriched mantle source. Combined δ〈sup〉98/95〈/sup〉Mo, Nd, and Pb isotope data in back arc lavas are very similar to those observed for modern ocean island basalts from Hawaii. We thus explore the possibility that the back arc mantle was contaminated by a Hawaii‐type, enriched asthenospheric mantle component from the subducted Hawaii‐Emperor Seamount Chain.〈/p〉
    Beschreibung: Plain Language Summary: In subduction zones, tectonic plates—tens of kilometers thick and making up the outer shell of our planet—are on a collision course. Although the absolute convergence rates of these plates are minute (a few cm/year), the forces in this process are so large that one plate is pushed under the other, causing the lower plate to be recycled into the Earth's mantle over time scales of millions of years. The tangible consequences are high‐magnitude earthquakes and large‐volume volcanic eruptions along these convergent plate margins. It is thus important to better understand the geological processes that operate in subduction zones. Here, we have studied the chemical and isotopic composition of volcanic rocks from the Kamchatka subduction zone. Our results confirm that water, locked into the subducting plate while residing on the surface, is released into the hot, overlying mantle after subduction, causing the formation of large volumes of magma that eventually erupt in volcanoes on the Kamchatka Peninsula. Our data also indicate that the subducting plate, once pushed into the mantle, is being ripped apart, allowing buoyant mantle material from greater depth to rise and contribute to the large‐scale volcanism observed along this convergent plate margin.〈/p〉

    Stable Carbon Isotope Signature of Methane Released From Phytoplankton (2023)
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-07-26
    Beschreibung: 〈title xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"〉Abstract〈/title〉〈p xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xml:lang="en"〉Aquatic ecosystems play an important role in global methane cycling and many field studies have reported methane supersaturation in the oxic surface mixed layer (SML) of the ocean and in the epilimnion of lakes. The origin of methane formed under oxic condition is hotly debated and several pathways have recently been offered to explain the “methane paradox.” In this context, stable isotope measurements have been applied to constrain methane sources in supersaturated oxygenated waters. Here we present stable carbon isotope signatures for six widespread marine phytoplankton species, three haptophyte algae and three cyanobacteria, incubated under laboratory conditions. The observed isotopic patterns implicate that methane formed by phytoplankton might be clearly distinguished from methane produced by methanogenic archaea. Comparing results from phytoplankton experiments with isotopic data from field measurements, suggests that algal and cyanobacterial populations may contribute substantially to methane formation observed in the SML of oceans and lakes.〈/p〉
    Beschreibung: Plain Language Summary: Methane plays an important role in atmospheric chemistry and physics as it contributes to global warming and to the destruction of ozone in the stratosphere. Knowing the sources and sinks of methane in the environment is a prerequisite for understanding the global atmospheric methane cycle but also to better predict future climate change. Measurements of the stable carbon isotope composition of carbon—the ratio between the heavy and light stable isotope of carbon—help to identify methane sources in the environment and to distinguish them from other formation processes. We identified the carbon isotope fingerprint of methane released from phytoplankton including algal and cyanobacterial species. The observed isotope signature improves our understanding of methane cycling in the surface layers of aquatic environments helping us to better estimate methane emissions to the atmosphere.〈/p〉
    Beschreibung: Key Points: Stable carbon isotope values of methane emitted from six phytoplankton cultures incubated in the laboratory. Isotope fractionation between methane source signature and biomass of widespread algal and cyanobacterial species.

    Zur Land- und Bodendegradation – ein Rück- und Ausblick deutschland- und weltweit (2023)
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-06-12
    Beschreibung: Soils and landscapes are bridges of space and time, as they simultaneously and authentically show essential aspects that were previously separated by time and space (such as cultural and activity-related aspects from past and present) to the trained observer - albeit only in excerpts. Therefore, this article presents a series of impact indicators for soil changes, starting with extreme (anthropogenic) interventions and ending with equally extreme ("natural") events. An essential difference to specifically planning-relevant or human ecological concepts, which, for example, specify land use/load categories, is that the following impact indicators perceive soils as a phenomenon in themselves and do not define them through attributed functions. Particular attention is focused on their changeability and vital development potential, as well as on their property as a sphere of penetration of living and material things, with emphasis on the noetic effect. The intervention or event spaces on the earth's surface can be differentiated quantitatively through the type, strength, and duration of the phenomena. The intensity of all processes can be described by amplitude (the strength of the interventions/events) and frequency (the repetition rate of the interventions/events) and can be specifically identified and quantified by, for example, material inputs or outputs per unit of time. For the first time, there would be a system for measuring the ecological quality of anthropogenic land use, which could serve as an "alert system for the external technological culture," and could help us become aware of our "inner" culture.

    Fingerprinting Kinetic Isotope Effects and Diagenetic Exchange Reactions Using Fluid Inclusion and Dual‐Clumped Isotope Analysis (2023)
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-06-19
    Beschreibung: Geochemical analyses of carbonate minerals yield multiple parameters which can be used to estimate the temperature and water composition at which they formed. Analysis of fluid trapped in minerals is a potentially powerful tool to reconstruct paleotemperatures as well as diagenetic and hydrothermal processes, as these could represent the parent fluid. Internal fluids play important roles during the alteration of carbonate fossils, lowering energetic barriers associated with resetting of clumped isotopes, as well as mediating the transport of elements during diagenesis. Here, we explore the behavior of the ∆47–∆48 “dual‐clumped” isotope thermometer during fluid‐carbonate interaction and demonstrate that it is highly sensitive to the water/carbonate ratio, behaving as a linear system in “rock buffered” alteration, and as a decoupled system in water‐dominated systems due to non‐linear mixing effects in ∆48. Dry heating experiments show that the extrapolated “heated” end‐member is indistinguishable from the predicted ∆47 and ∆48 value expected for the experimental temperature. Furthermore, we evaluate two common laboratory sampling methods for their ability to thermally alter samples. We find that the temperature of the commonly used crushing cells used to vapourize water for fluid inclusion δ18O analyses is insufficient to cause fluid‐carbonate oxygen isotope exchange, demonstrating its suitability for analyses of fluid inclusions in carbonates. We also find that belemnites sampled with a hand‐drill yield significantly warmer paleotemperatures than those sampled with mortar and pestle. We conclude that thermally‐driven internal fluid‐carbonate exchange occurs indistinguishably from isotopic equilibrium, limited by the extent to which internal water and carbonate can react.
    Beschreibung: Plain Language Summary: Carbonate minerals contain multiple, independent, chemical and isotopic parameters which can be used to calculate the temperature at which the mineral formed. If these proxies agree with one another, it has been confidently assumed that the temperature is indeed genuine. Here, we investigate three such parameters and show how they record kinetic processes during mineral formation, as well as thermally‐driven processes which may alter a climate record. We find that this method could potentially be used to study the kinetic factors at play during biomineralization, even if the “true” temperature is unknown. We also find that some thermal processes result in all three parameters agreeing with one another. Because thermal alteration poses a potential dilemma for climate researchers, we investigate two common laboratory preparation techniques that involve heating a sample before analysis: drilling and heating sample for fluid inclusion analysis. We find that the heat of a drill is sufficient to facilitate these reactions, and potentially imparts a warm bias onto paleotemperatures, however the apparatus used for analyzing fluid inclusions does not appear to significantly alter the material. We conclude our approach using fluid inclusion analysis and dual‐clumped isotopes has the potential to resolve many ambiguities in interpreting climate records.
    Beschreibung: Key Points: We explore the behavior of dual‐clumped and fluid‐inclusion isotope paleothermometers during thermal alteration. Different conditions during diagenesis may result in discrepant paleotemperature estimates, which may be used to identify altered records. Hand‐drilling belemnites produces sufficient heat to reset paleotemperatures, but the heat during analysis of fluid inclusions does not.

    Systematic and Temporal Geochemical Changes in the Upper Deccan Lavas: Implications for the Magma Plumbing System of Flood Basalt Provinces (2023)
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-07-19
    Beschreibung: Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) are unusual volcanic events in which massive amounts of melt (∼106 km3) erupt in relatively short time periods (〈106 years). Most LIP magmas have undergone extensive fractional crystallization and crustal contamination, but the crustal magmatic plumbing systems and the processes triggering eruptions are poorly understood. We present new major and trace element and radiogenic isotope data for 43 individual lava flows from a continuous 1,200 m thick stratigraphic profile through the upper, most voluminous part of the Deccan LIP (Bushe to Mahabaleshwar Formations). Eruption rates for this section are constrained by published paleomagnetic directions and absolute U‐Pb ages for zircons from weathered flow tops exposed in the profile. We find four magmatic sequences each lasting ∼104–∼105 years during which major and trace element compositions change systematically, followed by an abrupt change in geochemistry at the start of a new sequence. Within each sequence, the MgO content and proportion of crustal contamination decrease progressively, indicating a continuous replenishment of the associated magma reservoirs with less contaminated but more evolved melts. These geochemical signatures are best explained by repeated episodes of melt recharge, mixing, and eruption of variably evolved magmas originating from relatively small magma reservoir located in different crustal levels.
    Beschreibung: Plain Language Summary: Volcanism occurs predominantly at plate boundaries, either at mid‐ocean ridges or subduction zones, where most mantle melts are produced. However, the Earth's history is punctuated by volcanic events which are not related to plate boundary processes and during which large amounts of melt erupt (∼106 km3) in relatively short periods of time (〈106 years). These Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) are associated with the activity of mantle plumes and eruption rates during their main stages are significantly higher than those of today's largest magmatic systems. However, since no LIP is currently active, the architecture of the associated plumbing systems is relatively unknown. In order to understand the magmatic processes during the emplacement of a LIP, we generated geochemical data from a continuous stratigraphic profile covering the most voluminous stage of the ∼66 Ma Deccan LIP. By combining these new data with published paleomagnetic directions and absolute U‐Pb ages for zircons, we found four eruption sequences each lasting ∼104–∼105 years. During these sequences, geochemical compositions change systematically, which is best explained by repeated episodes of melt recharge, mixing, and eruption of variably evolved magmas originating from relatively small magma reservoirs located at different crustal levels.

    Authigenic and Detrital Carbonate Nd Isotope Records Reflect Pulses of Detrital Material Input to the Labrador Sea During the Heinrich Stadials (2023)
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-07-19
    Beschreibung: Limited constraints on the variability of the deep‐water production in the Labrador Sea complicate reconstructions of the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) during the Late Quaternary. Large volumes of detrital carbonates were repeatedly deposited in the Labrador Sea during the last 32 kyr, potentially affecting radiogenic Nd isotope signatures. To investigate this the Nd isotope compositions of deep and intermediate waters were extracted from the authigenic Fe‐Mn oxyhydroxide fraction, foraminiferal coatings, the residual silicates and leachates of dolostone grains. We provide a first order estimation of Nd release via dissolution of detrital carbonates and its contribution to the authigenic ԑNd signatures in the Labrador Sea. During the Last Glacial Maximum the Nd isotope signatures in the Labrador Sea would allow active water mass mixing with more radiogenic ɛNd values (−12.6 and −14) prevailing in its eastern part whereas less radiogenic values (ɛNd ∼ −18.4) were found on the western Labrador slope. The deposition of detrital carbonates during Heinrich stadials (2,1) was accompanied by negative detrital and authigenic Nd isotope excursions (ɛNd ∼ −31) that were likely controlled by dissolution of dolostone or dolostone associated mineral inclusions. This highly unradiogenic signal dominated the authigenic phases and individual water masses in the Labrador Sea, serving as potential source of highly unradiogenic Nd to the North Atlantic region, while exported southward. The Holocene authigenic ɛNd signatures of the coatings and leachates significantly differed from those of the detrital silicates, approaching modern bottom water mass signatures during the Late Holocene.
    Beschreibung: Plain Language Summary: The Labrador Sea is an important region for deep water formation and for the ocean circulation in the Atlantic region. Over the last 32 thousand years, numerous discharges from melting glaciers added freshwater to the Labrador Sea which could help understand the future effects of current melting glaciers. This information is necessary to better constrain climate predictions in order to gauge the effects on the Global Ocean Water Circulation. However, past deep water production in the Labrador is still poorly constrained, complicating reconstruction of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation on different timescales. In this study we investigated changes in deep and intermediate water mass circulation patterns over the last 32 kyr based on the radiogenic Nd isotope compositions that serve as a water mass circulation proxy. Analysis of four marine sediment cores show that the deposition of large volumes of detrital carbonates during studied period had a large effect on the recorded in the sediment column signals. New data suggest active water mass circulation during the maximum extent of glacial ice sheets. The modern day ocean circulation patterns have emerged during the Late Holocene (6 ka).
    Beschreibung: Key Points: Estimation of Nd release via dissolution of detrital carbonates and its contribution to the authigenic ԑNd signatures in the Labrador Sea. Dissolution of detrital dolostones in the water column during Heinrich stadials at least partially controlled ɛNd signatures. During the LGM generally more radiogenic signatures possibly indicate active water mass advection and mixing in the Labrador Sea.

    Origin of 182W Anomalies in Ocean Island Basalts (2023)
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-11-13
    Beschreibung: Ocean island basalts (OIB) show variable 〈sup〉182〈/sup〉W deficits that have been attributed to either early differentiation of the mantle or core‐mantle interaction. However, 〈sup〉182〈/sup〉W variations may also reflect nucleosynthetic isotope heterogeneity inherited from Earth's building material, which would be evident from correlated 〈sup〉182〈/sup〉W and 〈sup〉183〈/sup〉W anomalies. Some datasets for OIB indeed show hints for such correlated variations, meaning that a nucleosynthetic origin of W isotope anomalies in OIB cannot be excluded. We report high‐precision W isotope data for OIB from Samoa and Hawaii, which confirm previously reported 〈sup〉182〈/sup〉W deficits for these samples, but also demonstrate that none of these samples have resolvable 〈sup〉183〈/sup〉W anomalies. These data therefore rule out a nucleosynthetic origin of the 〈sup〉182〈/sup〉W deficits in OIB, which most likely reflect the entrainment of either core material or an overabundance of late‐accreted materials within OIB mantle sources. If these processes occurred over Earth's history, they may have also been responsible for shifting the 〈sup〉182〈/sup〉W composition of the bulk mantle to its modern‐day value. We also report Mo isotope data for some Hawaiian OIB, which reveal no resolved nucleosynthetic Mo isotopic anomalies. This is consistent with inheritance of 〈sup〉182〈/sup〉W deficits in OIB from the addition of either core or late‐accreted material, but only if these materials have a non‐carbonaceous (NC) meteorite‐like heritage. As such, these data rule out significant contributions of carbonaceous chondrite (CC)‐like materials to either Earth's core or late accretion.
    Beschreibung: Plain Language Summary: Some ocean island basalts (OIB) may contain a record of processes and characteristics of the deepest parts of Earth's mantle, including at the boundary between the iron‐rich core and mantle. Like some prior studies, we measured tungsten isotopes within OIB from Hawaii and Samoa, and report that tungsten isotopes in these OIB differ in their characteristics compared to what is observed in modern rocks that are most representative of the upper part of Earth's mantle. One explanation for these tungsten isotope anomalies is that they are a signature of chemical interaction between the core and lower mantle, suggesting that the core 'leaks' into the lower mantle. Another possibility proposed here is that these tungsten isotope anomalies reflect ancient crust that contained dense, meteorite‐like materials, which sank to the bottom of the mantle during Earth's early history. Using isotopes of another element, molybdenum, we show that the source(s) of these tungsten isotope anomalies do not contain a significant number of materials that originated from the outer Solar System before being added to Earth during its formation.

    Temperature Calibration of Elevated Mg/Ca in Planktic Foraminifera Shells From the Hypersaline Gulf of Aqaba (2023)
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2024-02-21
    Beschreibung: 〈title xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"〉Abstract〈/title〉〈p xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xml:lang="en"〉The Mg/Ca of marine calcareous Planktic Foraminifera (PF) shells is commonly used for sea surface temperature reconstructions. However, compared to open marine environments, hypersaline (>40) oligotrophic seas have been shown to accommodate PF with higher Mg/Ca and divergent temperature to Mg/Ca relationships. To investigate influencing factors of PF Mg uptake in hypersaline regions, we measured the Mg/Ca of two flux‐dominating PF species, 〈italic〉Globigerinoides ruber albus〈/italic〉 and 〈italic〉Turborotalita clarkei〈/italic〉, derived from a monthly resolved time series of sediment traps in the Gulf of Aqaba, northern Red Sea as well as the corresponding temperature, salinity, and 〈italic〉p〈/italic〉H values. The PF exhibit elevated Mg/Ca which cannot be explained by post‐deposition or interstitial sediment diagenetic processes. 〈italic〉G. ruber albus〈/italic〉 displays Mg/Ca trends that strongly follow seasonal mixed layer temperature changes. Conversely, 〈italic〉T〈/italic〉. 〈italic〉clarkei〈/italic〉 Mg/Ca trends do not follow temperature but rather show significant Mg/Ca enrichment following mixing of the surface water column. We present a framework for incorporating elevated Mg/Ca into global Mg/Ca‐T calibrations for 〈italic〉G〈/italic〉. 〈italic〉ruber albus〈/italic〉 and present a new Mg/Ca‐T calibration suitable for hypersaline marine environments.〈/p〉
    Beschreibung: Plain Language Summary: Past seawater temperature is reconstructed from the magnesium‐to‐calcium ratio (Mg/Ca) in the calcareous shells of a group of marine microplankton called foraminifera. Two foraminifer species, 〈italic〉Globigerinoides ruber albus〈/italic〉 and 〈italic〉Turborotalita clarkei〈/italic〉, are abundant in the Gulf of Aqaba, northern Red Sea, at year‐round high temperatures and salinities. The shells of these foraminifera have elevated Mg/Ca relative to other marine regions, and here, we explore the factors causing this. The Mg/Ca values of both 〈italic〉G〈/italic〉. 〈italic〉ruber albus〈/italic〉 and 〈italic〉T〈/italic〉. 〈italic〉clarkei〈/italic〉 reflect the environmental conditions of the water column. For 〈italic〉G〈/italic〉. 〈italic〉ruber albus〈/italic〉, temperature and salinity appear to be factors responsible for the Mg/Ca trends and elevated values.

    Laboratory Assessment of the Impact of Chemical Oxidation, Mineral Dissolution, and Heating on the Nitrogen Isotopic Composition of Fossil‐Bound Organic Matter (2022)
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-01-21
    Beschreibung: Fossil‐bound organic material holds great potential for the reconstruction of past changes in nitrogen (N) cycling. Here, with a series of laboratory experiments, we assess the potential effect of oxidative degradation, fossil dissolution, and thermal alteration on the fossil‐bound N isotopic composition of different fossil types, including deep and shallow water scleractinian corals, foraminifera, diatoms and tooth enamel. Our experiments show that exposure to different oxidizing reagents does not significantly affect the N isotopic composition or N content of any of the fossil types analyzed, demonstrating that organic matter is well protected from changes in the surrounding environment by the mineral matrix. In addition, we show that partial dissolution (of up to 70%–90%) of fossil aragonite, calcite, opal, or enamel matrixes has a negligible effect on the N isotopic composition and N content of the fossils. These results suggest that the isotopic composition of fossil‐bound organic material is relatively uniform, and also that N exposed during dissolution is lost without significant isotopic discrimination. Finally, our heating experiments show negligible changes in the N isotopic composition and N content of all fossil types at 100°C. At 200°C and hotter, any N loss and associated nitrogen isotope changes appear to be directly linked to the sensitivity of the mineral matrix to thermal stress, which depends on the biomineral type. These results suggest that, so long as high temperature does not compromise the mineral structure, the biomineral matrix acts as a closed system with respect to N, and the N isotopic composition of the fossil remains unchanged.
    Beschreibung: Plain Language Summary: The ratio of the heavy and light isotopes of nitrogen (15N and 14N) in the organic material contained within the mineral structure of fossils can be used to reconstruct past changes in biological and chemical processes. With a series of laboratory experiments, we evaluate the potential effects of chemical conditions, fossil dissolution, and heating on the nitrogen isotopic composition (15N/14N ratio) of corals, foraminifera, diatoms and tooth enamel. Our results indicate that these processes do not have a significant effect on the 15N/14N of fossils, suggesting that the mineral matrix provides a barrier that isolates a fossil's organic nitrogen from the surrounding environment, preventing alteration of its 15N/14N. In addition, we show that if part of the fossil‐bound organic nitrogen is exposed by dissolution or heating, it is lost without affecting the 15N/14N of the organic material that remains in the mineral. These findings imply that the original 15N/14N ratio incorporated by the organism is preserved in the geologic record. Therefore, measurements of the nitrogen isotopes on fossils can provide faithful biological, ecological, and environmental information about the past.
    Beschreibung: Key Points: Fossil‐bound organic matter is well protected by the mineral matrix from chemical changes in the surrounding environment. Partial dissolution of fossil calcite, aragonite, opal, and enamel has a negligible effect on their N isotopic composition and N content. During heating, fossil N content and isotopic composition remains unchanged if the structure of the inorganic matrix is not compromised.

    The Interface Between Magma and Earth's Atmosphere (2022)
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-07-20
    Beschreibung: Volatiles released from magma can form bubbles and leave the magma body to eventually mix with atmospheric air. The composition of those volatiles, as derived from measurements made after their emission, is used to draw conclusions on processes in the Earth's interior or their influences on Earth's atmosphere. So far, the discussion of the influence of high‐temperature mixing with atmospheric air (in particular oxygen) on the measured volcanic gas composition is almost exclusively based on thermodynamic equilibrium (TE) considerations. By modeling the combined effects of C‐H‐O‐S reaction kinetics, turbulent mixing, and associated cooling during the first seconds after magmatic gas release into the atmosphere we show that the resulting gas compositions generally do not represent TE states, with individual species (e.g., CO, H2, H2S, OCS, SO3, HO2, H2O2) deviating by orders of magnitude from equilibrium levels. Besides revealing the chemical details of high‐temperature emission processes, our results question common interpretations of volcanic gas studies, particularly affecting the present understanding of auto‐catalytic conversion of volcanic halogen species in the atmosphere and redox state determination from volcanic plume gas measurements.
    Beschreibung: Plain Language Summary: A major fraction of magmatic gas emissions are released into the atmosphere from open vents. The emission processes are characterized by fast turbulent mixing with atmospheric air (within seconds) and associated rapid cooling. Hardly anything is known about the chemical kinetics within this brief mixing and cooling period. We simulate the chemical kinetics during the first seconds of hot magmatic gases in the atmosphere and find severe deviation to common interpretations and central thermodynamic equilibrium assumptions prevailing in volcanic gas geochemistry.
    Beschreibung: Key Points: We model the chemical kinetics of high‐temperature volcanic gas emissions within the first seconds of mixing with atmospheric air. We identify key chemical processes within the magma‐atmosphere interface and quantify influences on the volcanic plume composition. Our results question common assumptions prevailing in volcanic gas geochemistry and refine interpretations of gas emissions from open vents.

    Dissolved, Labile, and Total Particulate Trace Metal Dynamics on the Northeast Greenland Shelf (2022)
    Chen, Xue‐Gang ; Krisch, Stephan ; Al‐Hashem, Ali ; [weitere]
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2024-03-22
    Beschreibung: We present high‐resolution profiles of dissolved, labile, and total particulate trace metals (TMs) on the Northeast Greenland shelf from GEOTRACES cruise GN05 in August 2016. Combined with radium isotopes, stable oxygen isotopes, and noble gas measurements, elemental distributions suggest that TM dynamics were mainly regulated by the mixing between North Atlantic‐derived Intermediate Water, enriched in labile particulate TMs (LpTMs), and Arctic surface waters, enriched in Siberian shelf‐derived dissolved TMs (dTMs; Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Ni) carried by the Transpolar Drift. These two distinct sources were delineated by salinity‐dependent variations of dTM and LpTM concentrations and the proportion of dTMs relative to the total dissolved and labile particulate ratios. Locally produced meltwater from the Nioghalvfjerdsbræ (79NG) glacier cavity, distinguished from other freshwater sources using helium excess, contributed a large pool of dTMs to the shelf inventory. Localized peaks in labile and total particulate Cd, Co, Fe, Mn, Ni, Cu, Al, V, and Ti in the cavity outflow, however, were not directly contributed by submarine melting. Instead, these particulate TMs were mainly supplied by the re‐suspension of cavity sediment particles. Currently, Arctic Ocean outflows are the most important source of dFe, dCu, and dNi on the shelf, while LpTMs and up to 60% of dMn and dCo are mainly supplied by subglacial discharge from the 79NG cavity. Therefore, changes in the cavity‐overturning dynamics of 79NG induced by glacial retreat, and alterations in the transport of Siberian shelf‐derived materials with the Transport Drift may shift the shelf dTM‐LpTM stoichiometry in the future.
    Beschreibung: Plain Language Summary: Trace metals (TMs) including cobalt (Co), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), and nickel (Ni) are essential micronutrients for marine productivity. The Northeast Greenland shelf is a climatically sensitive region, influenced by both outflowing Arctic waters and local glacier melting. We lack knowledge on how these Arctic surface waters affect TM dynamics on the Greenland shelf and how climatic shifts may influence TM dynamics. Here, we distinguish local submarine meltwater from Arctic surface waters using distinct tracers; noble gases and radium isotopes. We show that the TM dynamics on the shelf are largely controlled by the intrusion of Arctic surface waters which creates a near‐surface plume of dissolved and labile particulate TMs. Conversely, submarine meltwater creates a subsurface plume enriched in dissolved TMs but depleted in particulate TMs, which is exported from underneath a floating ice tongue. In the future, increasing Arctic river discharge and local glacial melting may both significantly change shelf micronutrient ratios demonstrating downstream impacts of a changing cryosphere on marine biogeochemical cycles.
    Beschreibung: Key Points: The overall dissolved and particulate trace metal (TM) dynamics were mainly regulated by the mixing with Arctic surface waters. Resuspension of cavity sediments is a major localized source of labile and total particulate Cd, Co, Fe, Mn, Ni, Cu, Al, V, and Ti. Whilst dissolved and particulate TMs are mostly coupled on the Greenland shelf, cavity outflow decouples both phases.

The data extracted from the zircons allow them to be grouped into three types: (a) young zircons (0–∼4 Ma) with 〈italic〉ε〈/italic〉Hf〈sub〉(〈italic〉t〈/italic〉)〈/sub〉 (∼5–13) and δ〈sup〉18〈/sup〉O (∼4–7) isotopic mantle signature with crystallization ages dating the islands, (b) zircons with 〈italic〉ε〈/italic〉Hf〈sub〉(〈italic〉t〈/italic〉)〈/sub〉 (∼5–13) and δ〈sup〉18〈/sup〉O (∼5–7) isotopic mantle signature (∼4–164 Ma) which are interpreted to date the time of plume activity below the islands (∼164 Ma is the minimum time of impingement of the plume below the lithosphere), and (c) very old zircons (∼213–3,000 Ma) with mostly continental (but also juvenile) 〈italic〉ε〈/italic〉Hf〈sub〉(〈italic〉t〈/italic〉)〈/sub〉 (∼−28–8) and δ〈sup〉18〈/sup〉O (∼5–11) isotopic values documenting potential contamination from a number of sources. The first two types with similar isotopic mantle signature define what we call the Galápagos Plume Array (GPA). Given lithospheric plate motion, this result implies that GPA zircon predating the Galápagos lithosphere (i.e., >14–164 Ma) formed and were stored at sublithospheric depths for extended periods of time. In order to explain these observations, we performed 2D and 3D thermo‐mechanical numerical experiments of plume‐lithosphere interaction which show that dynamic plume activity gives rise to complex asthenospheric flow patterns and results in distinct long‐lasting mantle domains beneath a moving lithosphere. This demonstrates that it is physically plausible that old plume‐derived zircons survive at asthenospheric depths below ocean islands.〈/p〉

    The composition of CI chondrites and their contents of chlorine and bromine: Results from instrumental neutron activation analysis (2021)
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-09-13
    Beschreibung: 〈title xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"〉Abstract〈/title〉〈p xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xml:lang="en"〉Between 1973 and 1994, 15 samples of CI chondrites were analyzed by neutron activation analysis at the Max‐Planck‐Institute for Chemistry, Department of Cosmochemistry in Mainz, Germany. The analyses comprise nine Orgueil samples and three samples of Ivuna, two of Alais and one of Tonk. Samples came from various sources and had masses between 5 and 600 mg. Most data are published here for the first time. The results for the nine Orgueil samples demonstrate the essentially homogeneous chemical composition of Orgueil at a level of a few milligrams. The analytical results of Ivuna, Alais, and Tonk agree, with only few exceptions, with the results of Orgueil analyses. All samples agree within ±3% in their contents of Sc, Ir, Cr, Fe, Co, Zn, and Se. The elements Sc and Ir represent the refractory component; Cr, Fe, and Co the main component; and Zn and Se the volatile component. Thus, in all CI chondrites there are essentially the same fractions of the fundamental cosmochemical components. The essentially identical chemical composition of all samples shows that their water contents are constant at about 20 ± 5 wt%. There is excellent agreement between the data listed here with data reported in the relevant literature. There is no doubt that the CI composition is a well‐defined entity, which is thought to represent the non‐gaseous compositions of the solar nebula and the photosphere of the Sun. In addition, we conclude that the recently proposed new CI chondritic chlorine and Br values are too low, when compared to earlier measurements.〈/p〉

    Hydrochemistry and environmental isotopes (18O, 2H, 3H, 3He/4He) of groundwater and floodwater in the great area of Hurghada, Eastern Desert of Egypt (2021)

    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-09-14
    Beschreibung: Porous and fractured aquifers exist in the area of Hurghada, Eastern Desert of Egypt, whose recharge processes through the common flash floods are not identified. Hydrochemical parameters, stable isotopes 〈sup〉18〈/sup〉O, 〈sup〉2〈/sup〉H and tritium in floodwater and groundwater were applied in the area subject to study. Additionally, He isotopes were investigated in the deep wells in the faulted zone at the Abu Shaar Plateau. 〈sup〉3〈/sup〉H activity in all sampled points lies below the detection limit excluding a recent recharge component in groundwater. However, the hydrochemical ratios and the stable isotope signature confirm that the shallow wells and springs (Red Sea Hills group) are being recharged from modern precipitation. The hydrochemical parameters of the deep wells at the Abu Shaar Plateau (coastal plain group) confirm another origin for the ions rather than the modern precipitation. Together with the 〈sup〉18〈/sup〉O and 〈sup〉2〈/sup〉H values, the Br/Cl ratio of this group confirms the absence of seawater intrusion component and the role of the fault as a hydraulic barrier. These 〈sup〉18〈/sup〉O and 〈sup〉2〈/sup〉H values deviate from the GMWL confirming an evaporation effect and colder infiltration conditions and reveal strongly a possible mixing with the Nubian Sandstone in the region. The 〈sup〉3〈/sup〉He/〈sup〉4〈/sup〉He ratio confirms a mantle contribution of 2% from the total He components.

    Bioavailable DOC: reactive nutrient ratios control heterotrophic nutrient assimilation—An experimental proof of the macronutrient-access hypothesis (2021)

    Springer International Publishing
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-11-28
    Beschreibung: We investigate the "macronutrient-access hypothesis", which states that the balance between stoichiometric macronutrient demand and accessible macronutrients controls nutrient assimilation by aquatic heterotrophs. Within this hypothesis, we consider bioavailable dissolved organic carbon (bDOC), reactive nitrogen (N) and reactive phosphorus (P) to be the macronutrients accessible to heterotrophic assimilation. Here, reactive N and P are the sums of dissolved inorganic N (nitrate-N, nitrite-N, ammonium-N), soluble-reactive P (SRP), and bioavailable dissolved organic N (bDON) and P (bDOP). Previous data from various freshwaters suggests this hypothesis, yet clear experimental support is missing. We assessed this hypothesis in a proof-of-concept experiment for waters from four small agricultural streams. We used seven different bDOC:reactive N and bDOC:reactive P ratios, induced by seven levels of alder leaf leachate addition. With these treatments and a stream-water specific bacterial inoculum, we conducted a 3-day experiment with three independent replicates per combination of stream water, treatment, and sampling occasion. Here, we extracted dissolved organic matter (DOM) fluorophores by measuring excitation-emission matrices with subsequent parallel factor decomposition (EEM-PARAFAC). We assessed the true bioavailability of DOC, DON, and the DOM fluorophores as the concentration difference between the beginning and end of each experiment. Subsequently, we calculated the bDOC and bDON concentrations based on the bioavailable EEM-PARAFAC fluorophores, and compared the calculated bDOC and bDON concentrations to their true bioavailability. Due to very low DOP concentrations, the DOP determination uncertainty was high, and we assumed DOP to be a negligible part of the reactive P. For bDOC and bDON, the true bioavailability measurements agreed with the same fractions calculated indirectly from bioavailable EEM-PARAFAC fluorophores (bDOC r〈sup〉2〈/sup〉 = 0.96, p 〈 0.001; bDON r〈sup〉2〈/sup〉 = 0.77, p 〈 0.001). Hence we could predict bDOC and bDON concentrations based on the EEM-PARAFAC fluorophores. The ratios of bDOC:reactive N (sum of bDON and DIN) and bDOC:reactive P (equal to SRP) exerted a strong, predictable stoichiometric control on reactive N and P uptake (R〈sup〉2〈/sup〉 = 0.80 and 0.83). To define zones of C:N:P (co-)limitation of heterotrophic assimilation, we used a novel ternary-plot approach combining our data with literature data on C:N:P ranges of bacterial biomass. Here, we found a zone of maximum reactive N uptake (C:N:P approx. 〉 114: 〈 9:1), reactive P uptake (C:N:P approx. 〉 170:21: 〈 1) and reactive N and P co-limitation of nutrient uptake (C:N:P approx. 〉 204:14:1). The “macronutrient-access hypothesis” links ecological stoichiometry and biogeochemistry, and may be of importance for nutrient uptake in many freshwater ecosystems. However, this experiment is only a starting point and this hypothesis needs to be corroborated by further experiments for more sites, by in-situ studies, and with different DOC sources.

    Sulphate reduction determines the long-term effect of iron amendments on phosphorus retention in lake sediments (2021)
    Springer Berlin Heidelberg
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2024-01-12
    Beschreibung: Purpose: This field study aimed to guide the planning of iron amendments for phosphorus retention by investigating the long-term fate of iron added to two urban lakes (Plötzensee and Groß Glienicker See) in Berlin, Germany. The contributions of iron dosing to improve lake status as well as the relevance of competing processes for management success were evaluated. Methods: Sediment stratigraphy, as well as occurrence of iron minerals, and fluxes between water and sediment were examined using geochemical analyses (i.e. element composition, sequential extraction, X-ray diffraction, and pore water analyses). A one-box lake model was used to relate these fluxes to monitoring data from the water column and to sediment inventories. Results: In both lakes, the added iron was preserved in the sediment. Whereas phosphorus retention increased following the addition of iron to Groß Glienicker See, sulphur was retained by the excess iron in Plötzensee. This contrasting effect is attributed to significantly different sulphate reduction rates in two lakes (Wilcoxon rank sum test: W = 25, p = 0.008). According to the one-box model, sulphate reduction explained both the decrease in measured sulphate concentrations after iron application as well as the observed increase in sulphur deposition in the sediments. Conclusion: Management interventions involving iron amendments to enhance phosphorus retention must consider the competing process of iron sulphide formation during the entire management plan period, and additional iron may need to be applied to account for this effect.

    Beschreibung: Many terrestrial silicate reservoirs display a characteristic depletion in Nb, which has been explained in some studies by the presence of reservoirs on Earth with superchondritic Nb/Ta. As one classical example, K-rich lavas from the Sunda rear-arc, Indonesia, have been invoked to tap such a high-Nb/Ta reservoir. To elucidate the petrogenetic processes active beneath the Java rear-arc and the causes for the superchondritic Nb/Ta in some of these lavas, we studied samples from the somewhat enigmatic Javanese rear-arc volcano Muria, which allow conclusions regarding the across-arc variations in volcanic output, source mineralogy and subduction components. We additionally report some data for an along-arc sequence of lavas from the Indonesian part of the Sunda arc, extending from Krakatoa in the west to the islands of Bali and Lombok in the east. We present major and trace element concentrations, Sr–Nd–Hf–Pb isotope compositions, and high-field-strength element (HFSE: Nb, Ta, Zr, Hf, W) concentrations obtained via isotope dilution and MC-ICP-MS analyses. The geochemical data are complemented by melting models covering different source compositions with slab melts formed at variable P–T conditions. The radiogenic isotope compositions of the frontal arc lavas in combination with their trace element systematics confirm previously established regional variations of subduction components along the arc. Melting models show a clear contribution of a sediment-derived component to the HFSE budget of the frontal arc lavas, particularly affecting Zr–Hf and W. In contrast, the K-rich rear-arc lavas tap more hybrid and enriched mantle sources. The HFSE budget of the rear-arc lavas is in particular characterized by superchondritic Nb/Ta (up to 25) that are attributed to deep melting involving overprint by slab melts formed from an enriched garnet–rutile-bearing eclogitic residue. Sub-arc slab melting was potentially triggered along a slab tear beneath the Sunda arc, which is the result of the forced subduction of an oceanic basement relief ~ 8 Myr ago as confirmed by geophysical studies. The purported age of the slab tear coincides with a paucity in arc volcanism, widespread thrusting of the Javanese basement crust as well as the short-lived nature of the K-rich rear-arc volcanism at that time.

    Oxygen Consumption of Resuspended Sediments of the Upper Elbe Estuary: Process Identification and Prognosis (2021)
    Springer Netherlands
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-08-25
    Beschreibung: The resuspension of sediment leads to an increased release of nutrients and organic substances into the overlying water column, which can have a negative effect on the oxygen budget. Especially in the warmer months with a lower oxygen saturation and higher biological activity, the oxygen content can reach critical thresholds in estuaries like the upper Elbe estuary. Many studies have dealt with the nutrient fluxes that occur during a resuspension event. However, the sediment properties that influence the oxygen consumption potential (OCP) and the different biochemical processes have not been examined in detail. To fill this gap, we investigated the biogeochemical composition, texture, and OCP of sediments at 21 locations as well as the temporal variability within one location for a period of 2 years (monthly sampling) in the upper Elbe estuary. The OCP of sediments during a seven-day resuspension event can be described by the processes of sulphate formation, nitrification, and mineralisation. Chlorophyll, total nitrogen (Ntotal), and total organic carbon showed the highest correlations with the OCP. Based on these correlations, we developed a prognosis model to calculate the OCP for the upper Elbe estuary with a single sediment parameter (Ntotal). The model is well suited to calculate the oxygen consumption of resuspended sediments in the Hamburg port area during the relevant warmer months and shows a normalised root mean squared error of 〈 0.11 ± 0.13. Thus, the effect of maintenance measures such as water injection dredging and ship-induced wave on the oxygen budget of the water can be calculated.

    The composition of subduction zone fluids and the origin of the trace element enrichment in arc magmas (2021)
    Springer Berlin Heidelberg
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-07-21
    Beschreibung: The partitioning of major and trace elements between eclogite and aqueous fluids with variable salinity was studied at 700–800 °C and 4–6 GPa in piston cylinder and multi anvil experiments. Fluid compositions were determined using the diamond trap technique combined with laser ablation ICP-MS measurements in the frozen state. In addition to NaCl, SiO2 is the main solute in the fluids. The fluid/eclogite partition coefficients of the large ion lithophile elements (LILE), such as Rb, Cs, Sr, and Ba as well as those of the light rare earths (LREE), of Pb, and of U increase by up to three orders of magnitude with salinity. These elements will therefore be efficiently transported by saline fluids. On the other hand, typical high field strength elements, such as Ti, Nb, and Ta, are not mobilized even at high salinities. Increasing temperature and pressure gradually increases the partitioning into the fluid. In particular, Th is mobilized by silica-rich fluids at 6 GPa already at low salinities. We show that we can fully reproduce the trace element enrichment pattern of primitive arc basalts by adding a few percent of saline fluid (with 5–10 wt% Cl) released from the basaltic slab to the zone of melting in the mantle wedge. Assuming 2 wt% of rutile in the eclogite equilibrated with the saline fluid produces a negative Nb Ta anomaly that is larger than in most primitive arc basalts. Therefore, we conclude that the rutile fraction in the subducted eclogite below most arcs is likely 〈 1 wt%. In fact, saline fluids would even produce a noticeable negative Nb Ta anomaly without any rutile in the eclogite residue. Metasomatism by sediment melts alone, on the other hand, is unable to produce the enrichment pattern seen in arc basalts. We, therefore, conclude that at least for primitive arc basalts, the release of hydrous fluids from the basaltic part of the subducted slab is the trigger for melting and the main agent of trace element enrichment. The contribution of sediment melts to the petrogenesis of these magmas is likely negligible. In the supplementary material, we provide a “Subduction Calculator” in Excel format, which allows the calculation of the trace element abundance pattern in primitive arc basalts as function of fluid salinity, the amount of fluid released from the basaltic part of the subducted slab, the fluid fraction added to the source, and the degree of melting.

    Accessories in Kaiserstuhl carbonatites and related rocks as accurate and faithful recorders of whole rock age and isotopic composition (2021)
    Springer Berlin Heidelberg
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-07-06
    Beschreibung: The accessories perovskite, pyrochlore, zirconolite, calzirtite and melanite from carbonatites and carbonate-rich foidites from the Kaiserstuhl are variously suited for the in situ determination of their U–Pb ages and Sr, Nd- and Hf-isotope ratios by LA-ICP-MS. The 143Nd/144Nd ratios may be determined precisely in all five phases, the 176Hf/177Hf ratios only in calzirtite and the 87Sr/86Sr ratios in perovskites and pyrochlores. The carbonatites and carbonate-rich foidites belong to one of the three magmatic groups that Schleicher et al. (1990) distinguished in the Kaiserstuhl on the basis of their Sr, Nd and Pb isotope ratios. Tephrites, phonolites and essexites (nepheline monzogabbros) form the second and limburgites (nepheline basanites) and olivine nephelinites the third. Our 87Sr/86Sr isotope data from the accessories overlap with the carbonatite and olivine nephelinite fields defined by Schleicher et al. (1990) but exhibit a much narrower range. These and the εNd and εHf values plot along the mantle array in the field of oceanic island basalts relatively close to mid-ocean ridge basalts. Previously reported K–Ar, Ar–Ar and fission track ages for the Kaiserstuhl lie between 16.2 and 17.8 Ma. They stem entirely from the geologically older tephrites, phonolites and essexites. No ages existed so far for the geologically younger carbonatites and carbonate-rich foidites except for one apatite fission track age (15.8 Ma). We obtained precise U–Pb ages for zirconolites and calzirtites of 15.66, respectively 15.5 Ma (± 0.1 2σ) and for pyrochlores of 15.35 ± 0.24 Ma. Only the perovskites from the Badberg soevite yielded a U–P concordia age of 14.56 ± 0.86 Ma while the perovskites from bergalites (haüyne melilitites) only gave 206Pb/238U and 208Pb/232Th ages of 15.26 ± 0.21, respectively, 15.28 ± 0.48 Ma. The main Kaiserstuhl rock types were emplaced over a time span of 1.6 Ma almost 1 million years before the carbonatites and carbonate-rich foidites. These were emplaced within only 0.32 Ma.

    Solar noble gases in an iron meteorite indicate terrestrial mantle signatures derive from Earth’s core (2021)
    Nature Publishing Group UK
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-11-18
    Beschreibung: Noble gases are important tracers of planetary accretion and acquisition of volatiles to planetary atmospheres and interiors. Earth’s mantle hosts solar-type helium and neon for which 〈sup〉20〈/sup〉Ne/〈sup〉22〈/sup〉Ne ratios advocate either incorporation of solar wind irradiated solids or solar nebula gas dissolution into an early magma ocean. However, the exact source location of primordial signatures remains unclear. Here we use high-resolution stepwise heating gas extraction experiments to analyse interior samples of the iron meteorite Washington County and find that they contain striking excesses of solar helium and neon. We infer that the Washington County protolith was irradiated by solar wind and that implanted noble gases were partitioned into segregating metal melts. The corollary that solar signatures are able to enter the cores of differentiated planetesimals and protoplanets validates hypotheses that Earth’s core may have incorporated solar noble gases and may be contributing to the solar signatures observed in Earth’s mantle.
    Beschreibung: Incorporation of iron meteorites in the core could explain variable noble gas signatures in different mantle reservoirs, according to stepwise heating experiments which show that the Washington County meteorite carries solar wind-derived He and Ne.

    Trace-element behaviour in sediments of Ugandan part of Lake Victoria: results from sequential extraction and chemometrical evaluation (2021)
    Springer Berlin Heidelberg
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-11-18
    Beschreibung: Lake Victoria is the second largest freshwater lake and the largest tropical lake in the world. The transboundary lake has the fastest growing population in its catchment, which can impact the water and sediment quality. To determine the extent of anthropogenic effects on sediment quality in the Ugandan part of Lake Victoria, the contents and binding behaviour of trace elements were analysed, as well as organic matter and phosphorus in different sediment layers of both deep and coastal sediments near the coastal cities of Entebbe, Kampala and Jinja. The data were assessed using the German LAWA criteria for trace-element pollution, the Geo-Index, Cluster- and Factor analyses. Mostly, no critical trace-element contamination in the sediments of the investigated area was observed. However, changes in element distributions caused by anthropogenic influences from around the lake were detected, like higher contents of Cu, Ti and V in near shore sediments with urban surrounding. Near Jinja, industrial wastewaters caused particularly elevated contents of Cu in the sediments (70–121 mg/kg, 3.5–6 times the geogenic background), exceeding the LAWA criteria and potentially harming the aquatic habitat. In addition, temporally growing organic matter contents in the lake sediments near the estuary of River Nzoia (from 4.2 to 17.6% in around 60 years) due to increased soil erosion in the river’s catchment area and blooms of the water hyacinth became visible. This study demonstrates that the whole catchment area is responsible to ensure a healthy aquatic ecosystem in Lake Victoria.

    Groundwater fluoride contamination in Coimbatore district: a geochemical characterization, multivariate analysis, and human health risk perspective (2021)
    Springer Berlin Heidelberg
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2024-04-02
    Beschreibung: In this paper, fluoride geochemistry and health risk of groundwater in Coimbatore district is studied. The order of dominance of ions were HCO〈sub〉3〈/sub〉 〉 Cl 〉 SO〈sub〉4〈/sub〉 〉 CO〈sub〉3〈/sub〉 and Na 〉 Ca 〉 Mg 〉 K. Alkaline groundwater and the dominance of HCO〈sub〉3〈/sub〉 and Na is favourable for the fluoride enrichment. Around 46% of the samples, N–NE regions, have F〈sup〉−〈/sup〉 higher than permissible limit of 1.5 mg/L. Pink granites, charnockite and gneisses in lithology is the possible origin of F〈sup〉−〈/sup〉. However, NO〈sub〉3〈/sub〉 vs F plot shows positive trend in some samples, indicating anthropogenic inputs of F〈sup〉−〈/sup〉. Correlation plots of F〈sup〉−〈/sup〉 was trending positive with pH, HCO〈sub〉3〈/sub〉 and Na and but negative for Ca, indicating the control of these ions in F〈sup〉−〈/sup〉 mobility. This result is supported by undersaturation of fluorite and supersaturation of carbonates. Four significant principal components were derived, which have explained 87% of the total variation. PC1 has high factor loadings for EC, Ca, Mg Na, Cl, SO〈sub〉4〈/sub〉, NO〈sub〉3〈/sub〉 indicating both natural and anthropogenic influences. PC2, PC3 and PC4 have higher loading for pH and HCO〈sub〉3〈/sub〉, K and HCO〈sub〉3〈/sub〉 and F〈sup〉−〈/sup〉, respectively, indicating geogenic factors in the F〈sup〉−〈/sup〉 enrichment. Human health risk assessment (HHRA) by ingestion and dermal pathways were calculated using Hazard Quotient HQ and Hazard Index (HI). 27% of males, 36% of females and 39% of the children have HI 〉 1, posing noncarcinogenic risks.

    Constraints on the pre-eruptive magmatic history of the Quaternary Laacher See volcano (Germany) (2020)
    Springer Berlin Heidelberg
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-06-21
    Beschreibung: Ba zonation patterns in sanidine phenocrysts from mafic and intermediate phonolite and crystal-rich cumulates from the Laacher See volcano (12.9 ka) in western Germany document diffusion times suggestive of periodic recharge events throughout the magma reservoir’s entire lifespan of ~ 24 ky. Phenocrysts analysed from samples that formed late at the base of the compositionally zoned magma reservoir by mixing and mingling between a resident phonolite magma and recharging basanite show resorption and thin (2–10 μm) late-stage Ba-rich overgrowth. Short diffusion profiles across these boundaries give diffusion times of ~ 1.5–3 years at most, which are interpreted to be the maximum duration between the most recent recharge by the basanite and eruption. The lack of such late overgrowth in samples from other parts of the phonolite reservoir suggests that effect of this mixing and mingling was limited to the crystal-rich base. Sanidines in the cumulates, by contrast, are generally devoid of zoned crystals. Only rare cumulate crystals with resorbed outer boundaries and very thin overgrowths (a few microns) with very sharp compositional changes imply the remobilization of cumulates only months before eruption. Based on the diffusion timescales and storage temperatures obtained in a previous study, we present a genetic model for the conditions and timing of storage and (re-)activation of the magma system prior to the eruption of Laacher See, which is the largest volcanic event in Central Europe since the last glaciation.

    Pseudo-total antimony content in topsoils of the Berlin Metropolitan Area (2020)
    Springer Berlin Heidelberg
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-06-08
    Beschreibung: Purpose: Sb is a metalloid that naturally occurs in traces in the Northern German Lowland Area, only. Its frequent and still growing demand for industrial purposes and its release during coal combustion and by vehicular emissions lead to an enrichment of Sb in topsoils. Numerous analyses on heavy metals have been conducted in the urban environment so far, but although Sb can be ecologically harmful and potentially carcinogenic, only few studies on Sb in soils were carried out.
    Beschreibung: Materials and methods: Due to the formation of anthropogenic soils by men, especially in the course of industrialization and after World War II, more than 50% of the Berlin soils consist of anthropogenic material like redeposited natural material, debris, waste, or ashes. This composition of soils of the Berlin Metropolitan Area can function as a model for other metropolitan regions of Central Europe. In the urban and peri-urban area of Berlin, analysis of more than 900 topsoil samples has been performed measuring the content of 12 heavy metals and metalloids (Al, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sb, and Zn). As a reference for the natural environment, soil profiles of typical parent rock material have been investigated taking also the regional (0.3 mg/kg), the local background value (0.61 mg/kg), and the baseline value (0.07 mg/kg) for Sb into account.
    Beschreibung: Results: By doing so, we could show the spatial distributional pattern of Sb in the Berlin Metropolitan Area and statistically evaluate our results in dependency of land-use, parent material, and soil parameters such as organic carbon content and pH. Thereby, we could prove an average enrichment two to six times over the regional background value. Median Sb content is very low in forest topsoils (0.54 mg/kg) and reaches its maximum in roadside soils (1.75 mg/kg). Technogenic materials, vehicular emissions, industrial processes, and (former) land-use are the predominant factors for Sb enrichment and distribution in the study area. Some single samples show an enrichment of up to 600% of the regional background value for topsoils.
    Beschreibung: Conclusion: Our study revealed that the Sb content in the Berlin Metropolitan Area is elevated compared to natural environments. Furthermore, we could demonstrate that Sb is a previously neglected key pollutant, specific to metropolitan areas. Due to the high environmental relevance, further Sb data from selected investigated spaces in other metropolises and specific land-use types are needed to assess the potential environmental risk of Sb in metropolitan areas.

    Impact of sedimentation history for As distribution in Late Pleistocene-Holocene sediments in the Hetao Basin, China (2020)
    Springer Berlin Heidelberg
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-06-08
    Beschreibung: Purpose: To understand the impact of geochemical sedimentation history for arsenic (As) distribution in the sediment profiles of the Hetao Basin, we (1) evaluated sediments provenance and variations of weathering intensities, (2) attempted to reconstruct the depositional environments, and (3) explored the As and Fe speciation in the sediments. Combining the information above, different sedimentation facies were distinguished in the vertical profiles.
    Beschreibung: Methods: Two sediments cores were drilled up to 80 m depth. Major and trace element compositions, including rare earth elements (REE), were analyzed. Carbon isotope ratios (δ13Corg) of embedded organic matter in the sediments were analyzed by isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IR-MS). Arsenic and Fe speciation of the sediments were determined by sequential extractions.
    Beschreibung: Results and discussion: The similar REE geochemistry of rocks from the Lang Mountains and sediments in the Hetao Basin indicated that the sediments originated from the Lang Mountains. The C/N ratio (~ 4 to ~ 10) in combination with δ13Corg (− 27‰ to −2 4‰) suggested that sediments were mainly deposited in aquatic environments. The unconfined aquifer equaled the lacustrine deposit with less intensive weathering during last glacial maximum (LGM). Here, the As content (average, 5.4 mg kg−1) was higher than in the aquifer sediments below (average, 3.6 mg kg−1).
    Beschreibung: Conclusion: Higher content of releasable As in combination with paleolake-derived organic matter aquifer sediments probably contributes to higher groundwater As concentration in the unconfined aquifer. This study provides the first insight into the impact of sedimentation history on As distributions in sediment profiles in the Hetao Basin.

    Geochemical focusing and sequestration of manganese during eutrophication of Lake Stechlin (NE Germany) (2020)

    Beschreibung: Significant sedimentation of manganese (Mn) in form of manganese oxides (MnOx) and the subsequent formation of authigenic calcium-rich rhodochrosite (Mn(Ca)CO3) were observed in the seasonally stratified hard water Lake Stechlin in north-eastern Germany. This manganese enrichment was assumed to be associated with recent eutrophication of the formerly oligotrophic lake. The mechanisms and processes involved were examined by analysing: (i) short sediment cores obtained from seven locations along a depth transect ranging from 69.5 m (the deepest point) to 38 m; (ii) sediment traps located at 20 m and 60 m water depths; (iii) water column profiles; and (iv) porewater profiles at 69.5 m and 58 m depths. Sedimentary Mn enrichment was observed at water depths below 56 m and increased to more than 25 wt% at the deepest site. Between 2010 and 2017, Mn accumulation at the deepest site was 815 g Mn m−2. Transfer of Mn from the shallower towards the deepest parts of the lake was initiated by reductive dissolution of MnOx and diffusion of dissolved Mn from the sediment to the overlying water column. Manganese was then dissipated via turbulent mixing and subsequently oxidised to MnOx before being transported towards the deepest zone. Transformation of the redeposited MnOx to Mn(Ca)CO3 favoured the final burial of Mn. We show that eutrophication and the areal spreading of anoxic conditions may intensify diagenetic processes and cause the spatial redistribution of Mn as well as its effective burial. Contrary to many previous findings, we show that increases of Mn and Mn/Fe can also be used as indicators for increasing anoxic conditions in previously oligotrophic lakes.

    Incorporation of Rare Earths and Yttrium in Calcite: A Critical Re-evaluation (2020)
    Springer Netherlands
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-06-20
    Beschreibung: The reported partition coefficients of REE with calcite are reviewed and critically discussed. In some of the reported experimental sets, REE concentrations are found to be supersaturated with respect to individual REE2(CO3)3 but never to REE(OH)3. Although the solutions are unsaturated with respect to individual REY carbonates, REY including Y are incorporated in calcite surfaces, where they are overgrown by calcite. Charge balances may be obtained by building {REY–Na-(CO3)2}n or by exchange of 2Ca2+ against REY3+ + blank space calcite lattice. These surface compounds may either be homogeneously distributed or clustered. Both the size and frequency of clusters increase with [REY]/[Ca] or [ΣREY3+]/[Ca2+] in solution. If these surface precipitates are removed into solutions saturated with respect to ΣREE2(CO3)3, they start growing in the aqueous phase. In this case, the apparent DREY and kREY values decrease with increasing REY concentrations in solution. In previous studies, only the individual distribution coefficients are reported not considering that the entirety of REY determines their behavior in partitioning. Given enough time, these surface clusters equilibrate with the aqueous phase before being overgrown by calcite. In the double logarithmic plots of {REY}/{Ca} versus [REY]/[Ca] or [REY3+]/[Ca2+], two relationships evolve characterizing the REY distribution in marine calcite and experimental calcites grown in Mg2+-free solutions. The double logarithmic plots of partition coefficients of REYi3+ in calcite grown from seawater show a slope exceeding unity, whereas those from fluids without Mg2+ depict slopes less than unity being both in contrast to the Henderson–Kracek rule.

    Beschreibung: Coastal waters have strong gradients in dissolved organic matter (DOM) quantity and characteristics, originating from terrestrial inputs and autochthonous production. Enclosed seas with high freshwater input therefore experience high DOM concentrations and gradients from freshwater sources to more saline waters. The brackish Baltic Sea experiences such salinity gradients from east to west and from river mouths to the open sea. Furthermore, the catchment areas of the Baltic Sea are very diverse and vary from sparsely populated northern areas to densely populated southern zones. Coastal systems vary from enclosed or open bays, estuaries, fjords, archipelagos and lagoons where the residence time of DOM at these sites varies and may control the extent to which organic matter is biologically, chemically or physically modified or simply diluted with transport off-shore. Data of DOM with simultaneous measurements of dissolved organic (DO) nitrogen (N), carbon (C) and phosphorus (P) across a range of contrasting coastal systems are scarce. Here we present data from the Roskilde Fjord, Vistula and Öre estuaries and Curonian Lagoon; four coastal systems with large differences in salinity, nutrient concentrations, freshwater inflow and catchment characteristics. The C:N:P ratios of DOM of our data, despite high variability, show site specific significant differences resulting largely from differences residence time. Microbial processes seemed to have minor effects, and only in spring did uptake of DON in the Vistula and Öre estuaries take place and not at the other sites or seasons. Resuspension from sediments impacts bottom waters and the entire shallow water column in the Curonian Lagoon. Finally, our data combined with published data show that land use in the catchments seems to impact the DOC:DON and DOC:DOP ratios of the tributaries most.

    Biogeochemical cycling of phosphorus in subsoils of temperate forest ecosystems (2020)
    Springer International Publishing
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2023-06-19
    Beschreibung: Tree roots penetrate the soil to several meters depth, but the role of subsoils for the supply of nutrient elements such as phosphorus (P) to the trees is poorly understood. Here, we tested the hypothesis that increased P deficiency in the topsoil results in an increased microbial recycling of P from the forest subsoil. We sampled soils from four German temperate forest sites representing a gradient in total P stocks. We analyzed the oxygen isotopic composition of HCl-extractable phosphate (δ18OP) and identified differences in P speciation with increasing soil depth using X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy. We further determined microbial oxygen demand with and without nutrient supply at different soil depths to analyse nutrient limitation of microbial growth and used nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS) to visualize spatial P gradients in the rhizosphere. We found that δ18OP values in the topsoil of all sites were close to the isotopic signal imparted by biological cycling when oxygen isotopes in phosphate are exchanged by enzymatic activity. However, with increasing soil depth and increasing HCl-P concentrations, δ18Ο values continuously decreased towards values expected for primary minerals in parent material at depths below 60 cm at sites with high subsoil P stocks and below more than 2 m at sites with low subsoil P stocks, respectively. For these depths, XANES spectra also indicated the presence of apatite. NanoSIMS images showed an enrichment of P in the rhizosphere in the topsoil of a site with high P stocks, while this P enrichment was absent at a site with low P stocks and in both subsoils. Addition of C, N and P alone or in combination revealed that microbial activity in subsoils of sites with low P stocks was mostly P limited, whereas sites with high P stocks indicated N limitation or N and P co-limitation. We conclude that subsoil P resources are recycled by trees and soil microorganisms. With continued weathering of the bedrock and mobilisation of P from the weathered rocks, P cycling will proceed to greater depths, especially at sites characterised by P limitation.
