Deep-water carbonate dissolution in the northern South China Sea during Marine Isotope Stage 3

The production,transportation,deposition,and dissolution of carbonate profoundly form part of the global carbon cycle and affect the amount and distribution of dissolved inorganic carbon(DIC) and alkalinity(ALK),which drive atmospheric CO_2 changes during glacial/interglacial cycles.These processes...

Description
Summary:The production,transportation,deposition,and dissolution of carbonate profoundly form part of the global carbon cycle and affect the amount and distribution of dissolved inorganic carbon(DIC) and alkalinity(ALK),which drive atmospheric CO_2 changes during glacial/interglacial cycles.These processes may provide significant clues for better understanding of the mechanisms that control the global climate system.In this study,we calculate and analyze the foraminiferal dissolution index(FDX) and the fragmentatio 01 100-107
