The influence of microhabitats on the carbon isotopic composition of deep‐sea benthic foraminifera

McCorkle, Daniel C., Keigwin, Lloyd D., Corliss, Bruce H., Emerson, Steven R.·1990·Paleoceanography

Abstract

We report δ 13 C and δ 18 O values for Rose Bengal‐stained benthic foraminifera from a set of box cores from continental margin environments in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. These isotopic results are compared with foraminiferal distribution data and pore water δ 13 C profiles to evaluate the importance of environmental (microhabitat) effects on the carbon isotopic composition of benthic foraminifera. The δ 13 C values of infaunal taxa are consistently lower than those of epifaunal taxa, suggesting that microhabitat effects on test composition do exist. The δ 13 C differences between foraminiferal carbonate and bottom water dissolved inorganic carbon are not correlated with the δ 18 O differences between benthic foraminifera tests and equilibrium calcite, but they do correlate with variations in the chemistry of sediment pore waters. However, interspecific δ 18 O differences as well as δ 13 C differences between species with similar vertical distributions in the sediments indicate that taxon‐specific “vital” effects also influence test composition.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
