| Surface nitrate concentration is a potentially useful diagnostic in reconstructing the past circulation of high-latitude North Atlantic waters. Moreover, nutrient consumption in the North Atlantic surface impacts the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide. To reconstruct nutrient conditions in the subpolar North Atlantic region during the last ice age, a record of foraminifera-bound delta N-15 was measured in Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (sin.) from core V28-73 south of Iceland (57.2 degrees N, 20.9 degrees W). Foraminifera-bound delta N-15 is up to 2 parts per thousand lower during the last ice age than during the Holocene, suggesting as much as similar to 25% less complete nitrate consumption during the former. This is consistent with stronger light... |
