The authors have developed a numerical model (PLAFOM) that generates a ge-ographical distribution of the abundance of 5 species of planktonic foraminifera. PLAFOM is forced by a global hydrographic dataset and by "food availabil-ity " as provided by an ecosystem model. The manuscript build...

Description
Summary:The authors have developed a numerical model (PLAFOM) that generates a ge-ographical distribution of the abundance of 5 species of planktonic foraminifera. PLAFOM is forced by a global hydrographic dataset and by "food availabil-ity " as provided by an ecosystem model. The manuscript builds on an ear-lier paper by Zaric, Schulz and Mulitza (Biogeosciences, 3, 187-207, 2006; see
