Headwater streams contain amounts of heavy metal in an alpine forest in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River by Liang, Ziyi, Wu, Fuzhong, Yang, Wanqin, Zhang, Yu, Wu, Junwei, Yang, Fan

“…Therefore, the stream storage and distribution patterns of Cd, Pb, Ni, Cr, Cu, Mn and Zn were investigated in ten headwater streams of an Alpine forest located in the upper Yangtze River during the rainy season. The results indicated that the heavy metal storage per unit area of the investigated streams was as follows: 0.95 mg·m-2 for Cd, 8.36 mg m-2 for Pb, 1.98 mg m-2 for Ni, 136.98 mg m-2 for Cr, 9.29 mg m-2 for Cu, 433.39 mg m-2 for Mn and 29.07 mg m-2 for Zn; while the heavy metal storage per unit area of the catchment was as follows: 1.19 mg hm-2 for Cd, 10.47 mg hm-2 for Pb, 2.48 mg hm-2 for Ni, 171.62 mg hm-2 for Cr, 11.64 mg hm-2 for Cu, 542.99 mg hm-2 for Mn and 36.42 mg hm-2 for Zn. …”

I-type granitoids in the eastern Yangtze Block: implications for the Early Paleozoic intracontinental orogeny in South China by Guan, Y., Yuan, C., Sun, M., Wilde, Simon, Long, X., Huang, X., Wang, Qiang

“…The temporal and spatial developments of tectonomagmatism, as well as the increase in metamorphic grade, are interpreted to record the progress of the intracontinental orogeny, which started in the Wuyi-Yunkai domains of the Cathysia Block in the Ordovician and propagated westward into the Yangtze Block in the Silurian.…”

Paleogene post-collisional lamprophyres in western Yunnan, western Yangtze Craton: Mantle source and tectonic implications by Lu, Y., Campbell McCuaig, T., Li, Zheng-Xiang, Jourdan, Fred, Hart, C., Hou, Z., Tang, S.

“…A suite of lamprophyres, spatially associated with mafic lavas and potassic felsic intrusive rocks, was emplaced between 36.5±0.2 and 33.7±0.5Ma (based on phlogopite 40Ar/39Ar dating) on the eastern side of the Ailao Shan-Red River shear zone in the western Yangtze Craton. These shoshonitic and ultrapotassic intrusive rocks post-date the ~60-55Ma collisional event between the Indian and the Asian continents. …”
