Enhanced Arctic Stratification during Mid Pliocene Warm Period
This study proposes that the water column stratification strengthens at the Yermak Plateau during warmer periods of MPWP and weakened during colder periods based on the relative nutrient utilization at the surface. The relative nutrient utilization is reconstructed using nitrogen isotope (δ15N) of s...
