摘要

One of the outstanding issues in the study of nutrient dynamics during Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAEs) is the preservation of N-15-depleted nitrogen isotope signals, which are not observed in analogous modern environments. The favored mechanism for delta N-15 values below 0 parts per thousand is utilization of excess ammonium derived from underlying anoxic waters by primary producers. However, there are few modern examples available for testing this hypothesis, due to the overall well-oxygenated state of modern oceans. Here, we present sedimentary delta C-13(org) and delta(15) N-bulk data, as well as pigment biomarker ratios, from the sediments of Lake Kivu, a meromictic lake in East Africa. This system serves as a potential analogue for the development of strongly depleted delta(15) N-bulk in OAE black shales. We focus on intervals of organic carbon enrichment (sapropels) that are interpreted to have been the result of lake water column mixing events. Sediment delta C-13(org) and delta(15) N-bulk decrease by up to 6 and 4 parts per thousand respectively near the base of sapropel layers. These negative excursions provide evidence for the mixing of C-13-depleted dissolved inorganic carbon and ammonium in excess of photosynthetic need, derived from the deeper anoxic basin of the lake. Support of this model is also provided by photosynthetic pigment biomarkers which show significant fluctuations in phototrophic ecology consistent with water column mixing and changes in nutrient status. Further evidence for the shallowing of the chemocline during sapropel deposition is found in the presence of bacteriochlorophyll derivatives produced by phototrophic sulfide oxidizers.
