Abstract

Abstract

Epidermal features of fossil ginkgophyta are one of the good materials for estimating the paleoatmospheric CO₂ concentration. In this study, a fossil Ginkgoites species, Ginkgoites sibirica is firstly described based on leaf morphology and epidermal features from the Lower Cretaceous Chijinbao Formation in the Zhongkouzi Basin, Beishan area, Northwest China. The paleo-CO₂ was 766-1 277 ppmv during the Hauterivian to Barremian based on the stomatal ratio method, which is consistent with the results of other studies. The CO₂ variation trend during the Early Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous is reconstructed based on the leaf gas-exchange model in combination with previous data. The paleo-CO₂ was 643-1 136 ppmv during the Jurassic and 548 ppmv during the Hauterivian to Barremian. The results show that the CO₂ concentration was high in the Early and Middle Jurassic, with a decreasing trend toward the Cretaceous, and then showed a significant increase during Early and Middle Cretaceous. The paleo-CO₂ reached its peak during the late Early Cretaceous, and then decreased significantly afterwards. Studies have shown that the leaf gas-exchange model can be an effective proxy for reconstructing paleoclimate.
