摘要: Abstract A high resolution study, with a centennial scale resolution, has been performed on the calcareous plankton assemblage (coccolithophores and planktonic foraminifera) at Ocean Drilling Program Site 976, Alboran Sea (Western Mediterranean), focusing interval between 20 9 ka, in order to reconstruct changes surface subsurface water dynamics productivity. The biotic proxies integrate extremely detailed (multi-decadal scale) geochemical data set pollen record already available core, thus providing complete paleoenvironmental/paleoceanographic reconstruction. results highlight sensitivity of recording stadial/interstadial phases higher-frequency climatic events, that produced sea features. Wind-induced upwelling river discharge during Last Glacial Period favored nutrient availability moderate During Heinrich Stadial 1 (HS1), arrival cold fresher waters from iceberg melting North Atlantic, significantly hampered productivity, its lowest values whole investigated interval. Calcareous behavior supports hypothesis HS1 is composite event, marked by three phases: HS1a characterized coldest SST, polar Atlantic inflow into basin first step toward dry climate continent; HS1b enhanced freshwater drought land, HS1c indicating reduced influx.
