摘要

Carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in caves and parent soils in the Italian Alps have been studied along a 2100m altitudinal range - corresponding to a mean annual temperature (MAT) range of 12 degrees C - in order to investigate the relationship between MAT, soil pCO(2) and cave air pCO(2), and to test the influence of soil pCO(2) on speleothem growth and fabric to ultimately gain insight into their palaeoclimatic significance in temperate climate settings. Our findings indicate that soil CO2 is linearly correlated to MAT and its mean annual concentration is described by the equation: soil CO2 (ppmv)=1112+460 MAT. Soil pCO(2) can also be exponentially correlated to actual evapotranspiration. The pCO(2) in the aquifer is linearly correlated to MAT at the infiltration site and is more influenced by summer soil pCO(2). Cave air CO2 in the innermost part of the caves exhibits a similar seasonal pattern, and commonly reaches concentrations of about 15% to 35%, with respect to the corresponding soil values, and is exponentially correlated to the MAT at the infiltration site. The combination of these parameters (soil pCO(2), dripwater pCO(2) and cave air pCO(2)) results in speleothem growth and controls their fabrics which are typical of four MAT/elevation belts broadly corresponding to the present-day vegetation zones. In the lower montane zone [100-800m above sea level (a.s.l.)] speleothems mostly consist of columnar fabric, in the upper montane zone (800-1600ma.s.l.) both columnar and dendritic fabrics are common, the Subalpine zone (1600-2200ma.s.l.) is characterized mostly by moonmilk deposits, whereas in the Alpine zone (above 2200ma.s.l.) no speleothems are forming today. Therefore, fabric changes in fossil speleothem can potentially be used to reconstruct MAT changes in temperate climate karst areas. Copyright (c) 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
