Planktonic foraminifera represent a major component of global marine carbonate production, and understanding environmental influences on their calcification is critical to predicting marine carbon cycle responses to modern climate change. The present study investigated the effects of different environmental influences on calcification of the planktonic foraminiferPulleniatina obliquiloculata. By correcting the dissolution effect on the size-normalized weight (SNW) ofP. obliquiloculatafrom deep-sea sediments, we provide a means of estimating initial size-normalized weight (ISNW) from which to assess secular changes in the degree of calcification ofP. obliquiloculata. Core-top ISNW inP. obliquiloculatafrom the global tropical oceans is significantly positively correlated with calcification temperature, suggesting that temperature is the dominant control on calcification. UsingNeogloboquadrina dutertreiSNW as an independent deep-water Δ[CO32−] proxy, we present an ISNW record forP. obliquiloculatafrom the western tropical Pacific since 250 ka. The response of ISNW to past seawater temperature variations further confirms the dominant influence of temperature onP. obliquiloculatacalcification. A potential increase in calcification as a result of ocean warming may have reduced oceanic uptake of CO2from the atmosphere and increased atmosphericpCO2, generating a positive feedback for global warming.
