Multicentennial record of Labrador Sea primary productivity and sea-ice variability archived in coralline algal barium

Continued warming and melting of Arctic sea-ice have led to increases in Labrador Sea phytoplankton productivity in recent decades. Here, the authors utilize a novel annually resolved palaeoproxy and propose that the recently observed increase in surface ocean productivity is unmatched since the Lit...

Description
Summary:Continued warming and melting of Arctic sea-ice have led to increases in Labrador Sea phytoplankton productivity in recent decades. Here, the authors utilize a novel annually resolved palaeoproxy and propose that the recently observed increase in surface ocean productivity is unmatched since the Little Ice Age.
