Foraminiferal Evidence of a Shallow Calcium Carbonate Solution Boundary, Ross Sea, Antarctica

In the Ross Sea, Antarctica, distributions of calcareous Foraminifera and other calcareous microorganisms are dominantly controlled by a shallow calcium carbonate solution boundary that occurs at depths of about 500 meters. Possible causes of substantial undersaturation of Ross Sea bottom waters in...
