在过去剧烈的气候变化中,海洋动力学通过影响深海碳储存发挥了重要作用。这种变化记录在位于海洋-大气-地球界面的大陆边缘水文变化的沉积代用物中。然而,考虑到向海洋边缘输送颗粒物质的过程之间复杂的相互作用,对这些记录的解释具有挑战性。在这里,我们报告了在伊比利亚西南边缘提取的沉积物岩心中,不同粒度的沉积物组分和有孔虫中有机碳的放射性碳(14C)特征,跨度为最近~25,000年。在同一沉积层中,不同粒度的有机碳和有孔虫之间的放射性碳年龄变化差异明显,为0-5000年。14C差异的大小与关键的古海洋学指标(如近端底流密度梯度)共同变化,我们将其解释为大西洋-地中海海水交换影响粒度比碳积累和转运的证据。这些发现强调了区域流体动力学与下核沉积代用物解释之间的重要联系。海洋沉积记录和其中的代用物在解开我们对过去气候的理解方面发挥着核心作用,然而,解释它们所包含的信号可能很复杂。在这里,作者揭示并讨论了流体动力学对伊比利亚边缘沉积物中碳积累的复杂影响。
Ocean dynamics served an important role during past dramatic climate changes via impacts on deep-ocean carbon storage. Such changes are recorded in sedimentary proxies of hydrographic change on continental margins, which lie at the ocean–atmosphere–earth interface. However, interpretations of these records are challenging, given complex interplays among processes delivering particulate material to and from ocean margins. Here we report radiocarbon (14C) signatures measured for organic carbon in differing grain-size sediment fractions and foraminifera in a sediment core retrieved from the southwest Iberian margin, spanning the last ~25,000 yr. Variable differences of 0–5000 yr in radiocarbon age are apparent between organic carbon in differing grain-sizes and foraminifera of the same sediment layer. The magnitude of 14C differences co-varies with key paleoceanographic indices (e.g., proximal bottom-current density gradients), which we interpret as evidence of Atlantic–Mediterranean seawater exchange influencing grain-size specific carbon accumulation and translocation. These findings underscore an important link between regional hydrodynamics and interpretations of down-core sedimentary proxies. Marine sedimentary records and the proxies within play a central role in unlocking our understanding of past climates, yet interpreting the signals they contain can be complex. Here, the authors reveal and discuss the complex effects of hydrodynamics on carbon accumulation in the sediments off the Iberian margin.
