No consensus has yet 35 been reached regarding the late Paleozoic geodynamic evolution of the northern Great 36 Xing’an Range (GXR) in Northeast China, the eastern CAOB. Furthermore, late 37 Palaeozoic syenogranite–diabase dyke association is present in the Xiaokele area in 38 northern GXR. It provides an important opportunity to understand the nature of 39 magmatism and the geodynamic evolution during this period. This paper presents new 40 zircon U–Pb ages, zircon Hf isotopic compositions, and geochemical data of 41 whole-rocks for Xiaokele syenogranite and diabase. Zircon U–Pb dating suggests that 42 the Xiaokele syenogranite (292.5 ± 0.9 Ma) and diabase (298.3 ± 1.5 Ma) were 43 emplaced during the Early Permian. The Xiaokele syenogranites have high SiO2 44 contents, low MgO contents, and enriched zircon εHf(t) values, suggesting that their https://mc06.manuscriptcentral.com/cjes-pubs Page 3 of 55 Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences 45 primary magma was generated by the partial melting of the juvenile crustal material. 46 The Xiaokele diabases have low SiO2 contents, high MgO contents, are enriched in 47 large-ion lithophile elements (LILEs), depleted in high-field-strength elements 48 (HFSEs), and exhibit enriched zircon εHf(t) values. They derived from a lithospheric 49 mantle source that had previously been metasomatized by slab-derived fluids. 50 Combined with previous research results, we believe that the continent–continent 51 collision between the Xing’an and Songliao blocks occurred during the late Early 52 Carboniferous–early Late Carboniferous (330–310 Ma), and the two blocks were 53 transformed into a post-collisional extensional setting during the latest Carboniferous– 54 Early Permian.

Introduction 60 The tectonic evolution of orogenic belts is characterized by changes in the 61 associated magmatic composition (Harris et al., 1986). Post-collisional magmatism, as 62 one of the common characteristics of many orogenic belts in the world, may indicate 63 that the orogenic belt is in an extensional environment (Dewey, 1988) and thus, we 64 can constrain the cessation of collision by studying the petrogenesis of post-collision 65 magmatism (Bonin, 2004; Yang et al., 2007; Hu et al., 2017). As the largest 66 accretionary orogenic belt in the world, the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) lies 67 between the Siberian Craton in the north and the Tarim–North China Craton in the 68 south (Fig. 1a; Jahn et al., 2004; DraftLiu et al., 2017). Northeast (NE) China lies in the 69 east of the CAOB, being segmented into the Jiamusi, Songliao, Xing’an, and Erguna 70 Blocks from east to west, and divided by the Mudanjiang–Yilan, Hegenshan–Heihe, 71 and Xinlin–Xiguitu sutures (Fig. 1b; Liu et al., 2017). The Great Xing’an Range 72 (GXR) lies in the west of NE China (Fig. 1a, b) and is an important geological unit for 73 research on the geodynamic evolution of the CAOB (Liu et al., 2017). To date, no 74 consensus has been reached about the late Paleozoic geodynamic evolution of the 75 northern GXR. Some scholars have asserted that the northern GXR was in a 76 subduction setting during the Early Carboniferous–Early Permian (Dong et al., 2016; 77 Yang et al., 2019). Other researches have suggested that the tectonic setting of the 78 northern GXR had transformed into a post-collisional extensional setting by the late 79 Carboniferous (Liu et al., 2017; Zhang et al., 2018; Ma et al., 2019; Ji et al., 2018; 80 Qian et al., 2018a; Shi et al., 2019). These different opinions are attributed to the https://mc06.manuscriptcentral.com/cjes-pubs Page 5 of 55 Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences 81 absence of a comprehensive understanding of post-collisional magmatism. 82 Granitoid–mafic dyke associations are common in extensional tectonic regimes 83 linked to post-collisional events (Eby, 1992; Yang et al., 2007; Tang et al., 2014). The 84 Xiaokele area lies in the northern GXR (Fig. 1c), and late Palaeozoic granitoid–mafic 85 dyke associations are well exposed in this region, but few have been investigated in 86 detail. It provides a rare opportunity for understanding the nature of magmatism and 87 the geodynamic evolution during this period. 88 This paper presents new zircon U–Pb dating, zircon Hf isotopic, and 89 petrogeochemistry data of the Xiaokele diabase dyke and syenogranite to reveal their 90 source and petrogenesis. CombinedDraft with previous research results, we attempt to 91 constrain the controversial late Paleozoic geodynamic evolution of the northern GXR. 92 93 2. Geological background and sample descriptions 94 The GXR consists of the Erguna, Xing’an, and Songliao Blocks (Fig. 1b; Feng et 95 al., 2015). During the Paleozoic, the GXR was controlled by the evolution of the 96 Paleo-Asian Ocean. Several micro-continental blocks collided and collaged 97 successively with the continuous subduction of the Paleo-Asian Ocean (Şengör et al., 98 1993; Wu et al., 2011). After the Paleo-Asian Ocean closed, the GXR was 99 superimposed and modified by the Mongol-Okhotsk and Paleo-Pacific tectonic 100 regions during the Mesozoic (Xu et al., 2013; Tang et al., 2016, Sun et al., 2020). https://mc06.manuscriptcentral.com/cjes-pubs Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences Page 6 of 55 101 The Erguna Block is clamped between the Mongol–Okhotsk Suture and the 102 Xinlin–Xiguitu Suture (Fig. 1c). The basement of the Erguna Block is composed of 103 Proterozoic (1800–700 Ma) granitoids (Gou et al. 2013; Tang et al. 2013; Ge et al. 104 2015), Neoproterozoic metamorphic supracrustal rocks and granitoids (i.e., the 105 Xinghuadukou, Ergunahe, and Jiageda Groups; IMBGMR, 1991; Sun et al. 2013; Ge 106 et al. 2015). The Erguna Block is mainly composed of Paleozoic and Mesozoic 107 granitic intrusions, Mesozoic volcanic, and clastic rocks (IMBGMR, 1991; Wu et al., 108 2011; Ge et al., 2015; Tang et al., 2016). In addition, studies on the early Paleozoic 109 post-orogenic granites in the Tahe–Mohe area and blueschist facies metamorphic 110 rocks in Toudaoqiao show that theDraft amalgamation of the Erguna and Xing’an blocks 111 occurred at approximately 500 Ma along the Xinlin–Xiguitu suture zone (Fig. 1c; Ge 112 et al., 2005; Ge et al., 2007; Wu et al., 2011; Zhou et al., 2015). 113 The Xing’an Block is located adjacent to the southeast of the Erguna Block and 114 to the northwest of the Songliao Block (Fig. 1c). The Hegenshan–Heihe suture zone 115 records the closure of the Palaeo-Asian Ocean between the Xing’an and Songliao 116 Blocks (Wu et al., 2011; Liu et al. 2017, Yang et al. 2018). The Xing’an Block is 117 characterized by Paleozoic granitoids and sediments, and voluminous Mesozoic 118 granitoids and related volcanic and sedimentary strata (IMBGMR, 1991; Miao et al., 119 2004;

Climate factors influence the occurrence and development of grassland fire. An analysis of the climate conditions of fire occurrence can form the basis for a study of the temporal and spatial variability of grassland fire. The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of monthly time scale climate factors on the occurrence of grassland fire in HulunBuir, located in the northeast of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in China. Based on the logistic regression method, we used the moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) active fire data products named thermal anomalies/fire daily L3 Global 1km (MOD14A1 (Terra) and MYD14A1 (Aqua)) and associated climate data for HulunBuir from 2000 to 2010, and established the model of grassland fire climate index. The results showed that monthly maximum temperature, monthly sunshine hours and monthly average wind speed were all positively correlated with the fire climate index; monthly precipitation, monthly average temperature, monthly average relative humidity, monthly minimum relative humidity and the number of days with monthly precipitation greater than or equal to 5 mm were all negatively correlated with the fire climate index.

Animal husbandry in Inner Mongolia is well developed, but data on T. gondii infection in sheep are lacking. In this study, we determined the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with the seroprevalence of T. gondii using an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test. A total of 1853 serum samples were collected from 29 counties of Xilin Gol League (n = 624), Hohhot City (n = 225), Ordos City (n = 158), Wulanchabu City (n = 144), Bayan Nur City (n = 114) and Hulunbeir City (n = 588). The overall seroprevalence of T. gondii was 15.43%. Risk factor analysis showed that seroprevalence was higher in sheep 12 months of age (21.85%) than that in sheep <12 months of age (10.20%) (p < 0.01).

It is also the main highway section going from the west to the east planned recently by the autonomous region, as the main framework of the highways in Inner Mongolia and the main passage connecting Hulunbeier League and other provinces and regions in the east of China. After the construction in the Eighth Five-Year Plan Period and the Ninth Five-Year Plan Period and with the preparatory work of the project, most sections to the east of Hailar of Shuifenhe-Manzhouli Highway has been constructed or under construction, and other sections have moved into the stage of preliminary feasibility study. Currently, only the project of Hailar-Manzhouli section has not been set up for construction. The proposed project will be linked with Yakeshi-Hailar Highway (to be approved for construction) in the east, connected with Manzhouli Port in the west, and bond with Provincial Highways 201 and 202, etc., thus forming a highway network with State Highway 301 as the main axis and other state, provincial, county and township roads as branches, which can play important roles in economic construction along the highway lines.

Notably, grassland fires occur frequently each year in northeastern China. Fire occurrence is a complex problem with multiple causes, such as natural factors, human activities and land use. This paper investigates the disruptive effects of grassland fire in the northeastern Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China. In this study, we relied on thermal anomaly detection from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor to identify fire occurrences, and land use data were acquired by Landsat Thematic Mapper/Enhanced Thematic Mapper (TM/ETM). We discussed the relationship between land use and the spatial distribution of grassland fires. The results showed that the impact of land use on grassland fires was significant. Spatially, approximately 80% of grassland fires were clustered within 10 km of cultivated land, and grassland fires generally occurred in areas of intense human activity.

  • Scenario-Based Hazard Analysis of Extreme High-Temperatures Experienced Between 1959 and 2 2014 in Hulunbuir, China
    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: www.emeraldinsight.com/1756-8692.htm IJCCSM 11,1 Scenario-based hazard analysis of extreme high-temperatures experienced between 1959 and 2 2014 in Hulunbuir, China Received 2 May 2017 Chunlan Li, Jun Wang, Min Liu, Desalegn Yayeh Ayal, Qian Gong, Revised 15 August 2017 26 November 2017 Richa Hu, Shan Yin and Yuhai Bao 17 January 2018 (Author affiliations can be found at the end of the article) Accepted 8 February 2018 Abstract Purpose – Extreme high temperatures are a significant feature of global climate change and have become more frequent and intense in recent years. These pose a significant threat to both human health and economic activity, and thus are receiving increasing research attention. Understanding the hazards posed by extreme high temperatures are important for selecting intervention measures targeted at reducing socioeconomic and environmental damage. Design/methodology/approach – In this study, detrended fluctuation analysis is used to identify extreme high-temperature events, based on homogenized daily minimum and maximum temperatures from nine meteorological stations in a major grassland region, Hulunbuir, China, over the past 56 years. Findings – Compared with the commonly used functions, Weibull distribution has been selected to simulate extreme high-temperature scenarios. It has been found that there was an increasing trend of extreme high temperature, and in addition, the probability of its indices increased significantly, with regional differences. The extreme high temperatures in four return periods exhibited an extreme low hazard in the central region of Hulunbuir, and increased from the center to the periphery.
