摘要(Abstract):
晚泥盆世弗拉期-法门期(F-F)之交的生物灭绝事件是显生宙以来五大生物灭绝事件之一,导致海洋中至少80%的物种消亡、群落结构明显更替、地史时期最大的后生动物礁系统彻底崩溃,深刻改变了地球生命的演化进程。受泥盆纪多种时间尺度作用力的综合影响, F-F生物事件的灭绝模式复杂,并非以短时间内极高的生物灭绝率为主要特征,总体上表现出一种循序的、渐进式的灭绝过程。频繁的海平面升降、海洋缺氧和泥盆纪温室地球极热条件下的气候快速变冷等多因素综合作用是造成F-F生物大灭绝的主要原因。晚泥盆世西伯利亚板块和俄罗斯地台上大规模的火山作用可能是造成地球表层系统中气候环境发生剧变的最终触发机制,同时陆地植物演化和全球构造活动在百万至千万年时间尺度上的反馈机制亦起重要作用,最终导致F-F之交全球气候异常突变、浅海区域海洋缺氧和F-F生物大灭绝。
