Abstract:

Ecological evolution varied significantly across different water depth during the Permian-Triassic mass extinction. Shallow-water carbonate platform environments,characterized by low ambient water depth,hosted the majority of benthic organisms and consequently exhibited heightened sensitivity to environmental changes. As such,they provide critical insights into marine ecosystem evolution under disaster scenarios. Although middle to deep-water settings have been extensively studied,research on shallow-marine environments remains limited. This paper focuses on the newly identified Panjiazhuang section,a shallow-water carbonate platform succession in the Changxing area of Zhejiang Province,and integrates sedimentological,paleontological,and isotopic geochemical analyses to reconstruct ecosystem evolution across the Permian-Triassic transition. In the Panjiazhuang section,a major extinction event is recorded at the top of the bioclastic limestone within the upper Permian Changxing Formation. This interval coincides with a distinct shift in microfacies—from foraminifera-and algae-rich bioclastic limestone to microbialite—indicating a rapid proliferation of cyanobacteria following the collapse of metazoan communities. Additionally,the inorganic carbon isotope exhibited a notable negative excursion during this time. The findings indicate that the ecosystem transition from bioclastic limestone to microbialite facies at the Paleozoic-Mesozoic boundary in the Panjiazhuang section represents a single-episode extinction process during the Permian-Triassic mass extinction event.

摘要:

在二叠纪与三叠纪之交的生物大灭绝事件中,不同水深环境中的生态系演变过程亦存在差异。浅水碳酸盐台地环境水体深度小,聚集了绝大部分的底栖生物,对于环境的变化更为敏感,是了解灾难环境下海洋生态系演化的重要窗口。文中以下扬子浙江长兴地区新发现的潘家庄剖面浅水碳酸盐台地相为研究对象,综合开展沉积学、古生物学与同位素地球化学研究,探讨二叠纪与三叠纪之交浅水环境生态系的演变。结果显示,潘家庄剖面上二叠统长兴组生物碎屑灰岩的顶部发生大规模生物灭绝,伴随着沉积微相从富含有孔虫、藻类的生物碎屑灰岩到凝块石微生物岩的转变,反映出在后生生物大规模灭绝后蓝细菌呈爆发式增长; 同时,无机碳同位素发生了1次显著的负偏。依据上述结果认为,浙江长兴潘家庄剖面二叠纪与三叠纪之交由生物碎屑灰岩相突变为微生物岩相的生态系演变,可能代表了二叠纪末生物大灭绝事件中的单幕式生物灭绝过程。
