摘要

The Himalaya has a major influence on global and regional climate, in particular on the Asian monsoon system. The foreland basin of the Himalaya contains a record of tectonics and paleoclimate since the Miocene. Previous work on the evolution of vegetation and climate has focused on the central and western Himalaya, where a shift from C3 to C4 vegetation has been observed at similar to 7 Ma and linked to increased seasonality, but the climatic evolution of the eastern part of the orogen is less well understood. In order to track vegetation as a marker of monsoon intensity and seasonality, we analyzed delta C-13 and 8180 values of soil carbonate and associated delta C-13 values of bulk organic carbon from previously dated sedimentary sections exposing the syn-orogenic detrital Dharamsala and Siwalik Groups in the west, and, for the first time, the Siwalik Group in the east of the Himalayan foreland basin. Sedimentary records span from 20 to 1 Myr in the west (Joginder Nagar, Jawalamukhi, and Haripur Kolar sections) and from 13 to 1 Myr in the east (Kameng section), respectively. The presence of soil carbonate in the west and its absence in the east is a first indication of long-term lateral climatic variation, as soil carbonate requires seasonally arid conditions to develop. delta C-13 values in soil carbonate show a shift from around -10 parts per thousand to -2 parts per thousand at similar to 7 Ma in the west, which is confirmed by delta C-13 analyses on bulk organic carbon that show a shift from around -23 parts per thousand to -19 parts per thousand at the same time. Such a shift in isotopic values is likely to be associated with a change from C3 to C4 vegetation. In contrast, delta C-13 values of bulk organic carbon remain at 23 parts per thousand o in the east. Thus, our data show that the current east -west variation in climate was established at similar to 7 Ma. We propose that the regional change towards a more seasonal climate in the west is linked to a decrease of the influence of the Westerlies, delivering less winter precipitation to the western Himalaya, while the east remained annually humid due to its proximity to the monsoonal moisture source.
