全球气候变化中被忽略的重大问题——盐碱(混合)尘暴
SALINE-ACKALINE MIXED DUST STORMS: AN IGNORED ISSUE FOR GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE
-
摘要: 盐碱尘暴和盐碱混合尘暴是一个长期以来被忽视,但意义重大的问题。经过多年的观测研究认为,盐碱混合尘暴在地球演变史、地球生态环境变化、世界荒漠主要格局和生命诞生演变与进化特别是人科动物形成等方面曾起到过重要作用,而这一切都基于其体量特别巨大以及作用与影响持续时间长久两大特点;由于全球暴发盐碱(混合)尘暴是在一定构造条件下气候的作用结果,且间隔或持续周期漫长,可能几万、几十万甚至是几百万年才可能发生一次或完成一次,这个作用被浩瀚的时空所覆盖,故而被忽视。讨论了盐碱(混合)尘暴及其可能产生的影响与危害,指出其可能在全球荒漠格局形成和人科动物出现中起到了主导作用,在生命演变进化方面也有可能有重要的促进作用,并提出与传统沙尘暴性质不同的概念、分类、发生策源地(干涸盐碱湖沼或盐漠)、发生机制以及策源地治理方法。Abstract: Saline-alkaline dust storm and saline-alkaline mixed dust storm are significant but ignored problems for a long time. After many years' observations and researches,it is observed that the saline-alkaline mixed dust storm play an important role in the earth's history,especially in ecological environmental changes, the main pattern of world desert and human beings' evolution, and all these are based on two characteristics-the huge quantity and the long times' function and influence.The origin or global saline-alkline mixed dust storms are resulted from climate interaction under certain structurae conditions, and may happen once every a few tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands years,so it is easily been ignored. In this papes,we discussed the onigin of saline-alkaline mixed dust storm and its possible influence and impact.It suggests that it may plays a leading role in global desert forming,hominids appearance and the promotion of life evolution.The differences with the traditional sandstorm are also discussed.
