| 摘要 | There are more than 1,000 lakes within the Tibetan Plateau (TP), all of which are sensitive to changes in regional climate and local hydrology. Lacustrine sediments within these lakes preserve a good record of these changes. However, determining their precise ages is difficult due to the complex nature of lake reservoir effects (LRE), which limit our understanding of paleoenvironmental changes. Focusing on an exposed 600 cm thick lacustrine sediment profile located in western Zhari Namco, we used a combination of both radiocarbon and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating methods in order to evaluate the carbon reservoirs of bulk organic matter (BOM) and aquatic plant remnants (APR), and to explore the age differences between C-14 and OSL and their respective reliability. We demonstrated that (i) OSL ages were changed in stratigraphic order, and the OSL age just below the beach gravel layer was consistent with previously reported paleoshoreline ages; (ii) C-14 ages were divergent between BOM and grass leaves; (iii) C-14 ages of BOM were older than C-14 ages of APR; and (iv) all C-14 ages were older than OSL ages. This could be attributed to changing LRE in the past, causing the C-14 ages to appear unstable during the deposition period. Although the C-14 ages of terrestrial plant remnants (TPR) were not affected by LRE, an analyzed twig nonetheless returned a C-14 age older than its respective layer's OSL age, suggesting it may have been preserved on land prior to transportation into the lake. Our study suggests that OSL ages are more reliable than C-14 ages with respect to Zhari Namco lacustrine sediments. We recommend caution when interpreting paleoenvironmental changes based on lacustrine sediment C-14 ages alone. |
