摘要: 对南海北部大洋钻探184航次1146站晚上新世以来底栖有孔虫属种组合的Q型因子分析, 发现底栖有孔虫组合以2.1Ma, 1.5Ma和0.7Ma为界, 分为Stilostomella-Globocassidulina subglobosa-Nodogenerina, Bulimina alazanensis, Uvigerina perigrina和Melonis barleeanus-Globobulimina affinis-Bulimina aculeata4个组合.结合底层水溶解氧含量和浮游、底栖有孔虫碳同位素分析, 认为底栖有孔虫组合的变化是南海底层水影响所致, 以及南海北部表层和底层海水营养盐含量变化的共同结果.Abstract: Through the Q-mode factor analysis of benthic foraminifera from ODP Site 1146 in the northern South China Sea since 4 Ma, we identified four assemblages of benthic foraminifera. These are the Stilostomella-Globocassidulina subglobosa-Nodogenerina assemblage, the Bulimina alazanensis assemblage, the Uvigerina perigrina assemblage, and the Melonis barleeanus-Globobulimina affinis-Bulimina aculeata assemblage, divided respectively at 2.1 Ma, 1.5 Ma and 0.7 Ma. Combined with the results of the benthic foraminiferal oxygen index (BFOI) and carbon isotopes of planktonic and benthic foraminifera, we consider that the variations in the benthic foraminiferal assemblages in the area were mainly controlled by nutrient changes in surface and bottom waters.
