In order to assess the impact of the monsoonal climate on denudation, physical erosion, and chemical weathering processes, we measured cosmogenic nuclides 10Be, 26Al and immobile element Zr in five granitic regolith profiles across Northeast to South China. The 10Be and 26Al concentrations are 2.98 × 104–25.20 × 104 atoms g−1 and 2.18 × 105–16.62 × 105 atoms g−1, respectively. Compiling previous depth profile data from Leymon and Beacon Heights, we find that the 26Al/10Be ratios systematically increase or decrease with the depth. Our numerical model shows that muons contributions can produce higher 26Al/10Be ratios (greater than 6.75) in both steady-state and non-steady state scenarios, which can result in underestimated burial age (initial 26Al/10Be ratio) and exaggerated denudation rates (due to non-negligible production from muons) for the application of dual-nuclide in Earth Science. The denudation rates, chemical weathering rates and physical erosion rates derived from cosmogenic nuclides and Zr are 28–45, 9–31 and 6–22 m Ma−1, respectively. Chemical weathering rates, excluding the JLN profile, comprise a large proportion of the denudation rates (greater than 50%). Despite the wide range of mean annual precipitation (MAP) and mean annual temperature (MAT), the denudation rates vary without an apparent gradient from northeast to south. However, the physical erosion and chemical weathering results show good relationships with climate, suggesting the limitation type changed from kinetic-limited in the north, to supply-limited in the south. Chemical weathering indices (chemical index of alteration, CIA and weathering intensity factor, WIF) also indicate that the extent of chemical weathering strengthens from northeast to south and increases with chemical weathering rates, but decreases with physical erosion rates.

华东地区花岗岩风化层沿气候梯度剥蚀率

为了评估季风气候对剥蚀、物理侵蚀和化学风化过程的影响,我们测量了华北至华南五个花岗岩风化层剖面中的宇宙成因核素10 Be、26 Al 和固定元素 Zr。的10 Be和26分的Al浓度是2.98×10 4 -25.20×10 4原子克-1和2.18×10 5 -16.62×10 5原子克-1分别。编译来自 Leymon 和 Beacon Heights 的先前深度剖面数据,我们发现26 Al/ 10Be 比率随深度系统地增加或减少。我们的数值模型表明,介子贡献可以在稳态和非稳态情况下产生更高的26 Al/ 10 Be 比率(大于 6.75),这可能导致埋藏年龄(初始26 Al/ 10 Be 比率)被低估双核素在地球科学中的应用夸大了剥蚀率(由于 μ 子的产生不可忽略)。来自宇宙成因核素和Zr的剥蚀率、化学风化率和物理侵蚀率分别为28-45、9-31和6-22 m Ma -1, 分别。化学风化率,不包括 JLN 剖面,占剥蚀率的很大一部分(大于 50%)。尽管年平均降水量 (MAP) 和年平均温度 (MAT) 的变化范围很广,但剥蚀率在从东北向南没有明显梯度的情况下变化。然而,物理侵蚀和化学风化结果显示出与气候的良好关系,表明限制类型从北部的动力限制转变为南部的供应限制。化学风化指数(化学蚀变指数,CIA 和风化强度因子,WIF)也表明化学风化程度从东北向南增强,随化学风化速率增加,随物理侵蚀速率增加而减小。
