本研究利用高山土壤硼同位素比值，探討全新世中期以來臺灣高山氣候變化。臺灣高山地勢陡峭採樣不易，相關研究少，臺灣地區尚無高山土壤的硼同位素研究，本研究樣本為臺灣山區海拔3092公尺的南華天池土壤剖面，剖面深度0～120公分依照土壤性質分為12個樣本，利用HF-HNO3法將樣品全溶消化，後續利用微昇華純化法提取岩石溶液之硼，岩石標準品測定選用玄武岩標準品IAEA B-5。結果顯示南華天池剖面全溶相中硼濃度分佈範圍在53.4～83.2 μg/g之間，硼同位素比值(δ11B)範圍在-2.2～-10.2‰之間。利用硼同位素比值、濃度與其他環境指標（CIA、TOC、粒徑）綜合討論過去臺灣高山的環境變遷，結果指出臺灣高山土壤硼同位素比值可能受控於季風變化、環境溫溼條件、粒徑變化、全新世小冰期的影響，另外研究區域尚未受到人為開發、生物循環影響小。3420年前由於溫度降低，導致總有機碳分解緩慢、堆積含量增加，觀察結果與臺灣其他地區相同，也許中國黃土高原類似；冬季季風減弱可能是土壤的風積物粒徑變小間接導致δ11B偏負，可能是受到過去氣候變化的影響，研究區域內的風化強度呈現弱相關；以沈積時間點相對年代推測，在全新世小冰期(Little ice age)時高山形成的凍原可能是δ11B明顯正異常的原因，硼同位素可能指示出研究區域內曾經有環境或氣候轉變的事件，我們回顧了多指標在地球化學應用中的成果，並提出了地球化學領域硼同位素的研究方向。

Boron has two stable isotopes, 10B and 11B, with natural abundance 19.8% and 80.2%, respectively. It is a new proxy for tracking environmental changes. In contrast to other natural archives (e.g., river water, rock), the currently available B isotopic data of mountain soils in Taiwan are quite limited because of its difficulty on sampling. In this study, we provide B concentrations and isotopic compositions in a 120 cm soil profiles sampled in northeastern Taiwan. It is divided into 12 subsamples according to the properties of the soils. The results showed that the boron concentration in the bulk dissolved phase of Nanhua Tianchi profile ranged from 53.4 to 83.2 μg/g, and the boron isotope ratio (δ11B) ranged from -2.2 to -10.2‰. Combined with boron concentration and other environmental indicators (CIA, TOC, grain size), the results indicate that the boron isotope ratio in soils may be controlled by monsoon changes, environmental temperature and humidity conditions, grain size changes, and frozen soil in Little Ice Age. Due to the decrease in temperature before 3420 years ago, the total organic carbon decomposes slowly and the accumulation rate increases. The observed TOC results are the same as Lake sediment of Taiwan, and may be similar to the Chinese Loess Plateau. The δ11B-inferred climate changes between glacial and interglacial periods show similar trend with changes recorded by the lake sediment in Taiwan and loess/paleosoil profile in Loess Plateau in China. The weakening of the winter monsoon may be due to the decrease in the fine grain size of the soil, which indirectly leads to negative δ11B, reflecting the past climate change. It can be inferred that there is a significant positive anomaly of δ11B in the high mountains soil profile during the Little Ice Age in Holocene. Boron isotopes may be a useful tracer for some large-scale events in the study area that once caused significant environmental or climatic transitions. We provide the first data of boron isotopic compositions in high mountain soil in Taiwan and suggest the possible controlling mechanisms of them. This study constrains the δ11B in high mountain soil profile and broaden the potential application in natural archives.
