Giant marine diatoms, blooming or aggregating within deep chlorophyll maxima under stratified conditions, can generate substantial production and a large export flux of organic carbon from surface waters. However, their role in regulating glacial-interglacial variation in atmosphericpCO2remains unclear. Here, we report the organic carbon isotopic compositions ofEthmodiscus rexdiatoms (δ13CE. rex) and bulk sediments (δ13Corg) from a sediment core in the eastern Philippine Sea dated to ~ 19.5–31.0 kyr B.P. and consisting of (from youngest to oldest) (1) laminatedE. rexdiatom mats (LDM), (2) diatomaceous clay (DC), and (3) pelagic clay (PC). Our results suggest that δ13CE. rexprovides a better record of palaeoceanographic processes during LDM and DC deposition than δ13Corgbecause of reduced differential vital effects in near-monospecificE. rexfractions. We used the isotopic composition of the coarseE. rexfraction (δ13CE. rex(> 154 μm)) to calculate the CO2partial pressure of eastern Philippine Sea surface waters (pCO2-sw) during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). OurpCO2-swrecords suggest that the eastern Philippine Sea switched from being a strong CO2source during DC deposition to a weak CO2sink during LDM deposition. The role of the eastern Philippine Sea as a CO2sink during the LGM was promoted by elevated primary production and, to a lesser extent, intensified water-column stratification. These observations highlight the potential role of giant marine diatoms in the sequestration of atmospheric CO2during the LGM and, hence, support changes in biogenic silica fluxes as a potential cause of lower glacial atmospheric CO2. Our findings are consistent with an eolian source of silica, as proposed by the ‘silica hypothesis’ and the ‘silicon-induced alkalinity pump hypothesis’ but not by the ‘silicic acid leakage hypothesis.’
