| We evaluated changes in siliceous export production and the source of organic matter preserved in sediment core MD07-3109H recovered from the Gulf of Ancud, Chiloe Inner Sea (42 degrees S, 72 degrees W, water column depth: 328 m), southern Chile. We analyzed the abundance of siliceous microfossils (diatoms, silicoflagellates, sponge spicules, Chrysophyte cysts, phytoliths), geochemical proxies (weight percent silicon %Si(OPAL), organic carbon, total nitrogen. C/N molar), and sediment stable isotopes (delta(13)C(org), delta(15)N). Chronology based on (210)Pb and (14)C provided an accumulated age of 144 years at the base of the core. Sediments of core MD07-3109H are predominantly marine in origin, averaging delta(13)C(org)=-20.75 parts per thousand+0.82,... |
