It is the low ermo st p lace T he low ermo st p lace is 780 m above sea level. T he bio2species in the region are lim ited and their quantity is rare. E specially the species are rap idly reduced after the lake dried up due to hum an activities in 1970 s. T he da2 ta from the field survey of 1980 and 1981 show 13 fam ilies, 26 geniuses and 36 species. T he bo ring site of K 1 locates at the m iddle of the dried up L op lake, at 90 15 E and 40 17 N. D ep th of the w ell is 100. 2 m. T he co re is to tally divided into 92 layers acco rding to natural sedim entation, and classified into 26 depo sitional cycles in term s of rhythm ic sedim entation from coarse to fine. In general, Ho locene series is about 2. 70 m thick, including the layers from N o. 1 to 7. T he surface is salt crust, and then m ainly clay underneath, upper P leistocene series is about 14. 65 m thick, including the layers from N o. 8 to 17, and m ainly compo sed of earthy yel2 low and earthy gray clay; m id2p leistocene series is abou t 48. 86 m th ick, including the layers from N o. 18 to 72. Its L ow er part is m ainly compo sed of earthy gray, dark gray and grayish green m udstone w ith thin beds of gyp sum, and upper part is m ainly the exchange of dark gray m uddy rocky gyp sum, m udstone w ith gyp sum. A t the top there is a buried w eathering crust. T he m id2p lesistocene series is unconfo rm able w ith an angle about 15 on the low er P leistocene. T he low er P leistocene series is about 34 m of visible thickness, including the layers from N o. 73 to 92, and m ainly compo sed of dark gray m udstone and earthy yellow m udstone. M any m uddy gyp sum beds and gyp sum m udstone beds are interbedded in the m iddle part. w ith an angle change from 15 to 5 top dow n. T he strata decline In Paleogene the bio2group w as carring very impo rtant characteristics of the tethys region, and the clim ate of the basin w as mo istly2w arm, and p roduced large co ruferous fo rest and broad leaf fo rest w ith som e bushes, herb and hydrophytes. sharp ly from M iocene to P liocene. T he clim ate of the T arim Basin changed T he broad and deciduous leaf fo rest reduced by m eans of ei2 ther species o r to tal quantity. and the ever green species extincted basically. T he coniferous fo r2 est decreased, but herb and bush p lants occup ied the region. A cco rding to the variety of species and quantity of po llen found, the w ho le p rofile is divided into 15 po llen zones (F ig. 1). T he zones from N o. 1 to 4 belong to early P leistocene, from N o. 5
340 53 to 10 belong to m id2p leistocene, from N o. 11 to 14 belong to later P leistocene, and N o. 15 be2 longs to Ho locene including 3 sub2zones. con iferou s2b road leaf fo rest and steppe. In the early P leistocene the po llen and spo re show T he trees com po sed of P icea, P inus, A bies, B etu la, U lm us, S alix and o ther including T ilia, J ug lans, Carp inus, A lnus, Cary a, etc. A bundant gyp2 sum m udstone and gyp sum beds appear in the m id2p leistocene strata of the K 1 co re. It imp lies that the lake w ater w as in high m ineral contents and rich of Ca 2+ and SO 2-4, and that the evapo2 ration capacity w as m uch higher than p recip itation, and stand fo r outstanding arid tim e. po llen assem blagres of the m id2p leistocene indicate that the vegetation in the vicinity of the lake had an alternative p rocess from desert2steppe type, then steppe, desert, steppe, desert to desert2steppe. It w as dom inated by sem iarid o r arid clim ate w ith clear alternation from arid to mo ist environm ent in the surrounding region of the lake. T he In the later P leistocene the lake w ater w as no t very deep, and surrounded by sw amp and peat lands. H ydrophyte w as abundant. M in2 eral contents of the lake w ater w ere no t very high. T he po llen assem blages show 2 circles of al2 ternation of the vegetation evo lu tion from desert to desert2steppe. U nder the dom ination of arid clim ate alternation of the clim ate w as rem arkable. In Ho locene series, sw amp s and peats w ere w ell developed around the lake. T he lake w ater w as in very high m ineral contents. T he depo sits contain very rich carbon and salt m aterials. T he crust at the top of the p rofile contains salt over 80%, w hich is the p roducts w hile the lake is dried up. T he m ineral contents of ground w ater above 3. 50 m deep is even as high as 250 ggl. the m id2ho locene depo sits, the po llen show s a type of desert vegetation, and does no t show the Op tim um environm ent as it does in the East China.
