Cyclic evolution of phytoplankton forced by changes in tropical seasonality

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Posted Date November et al. from the CNRS Rutgers University have published the article: Cyclic evolution of phytoplankton forced by changes in tropical seasonality, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 29/Nov/2014
  • what: Using high-resolution coccolith data, the authors show that during the last 2.8 million years coccolithophore evolution was forced by Earth's orbital eccentricity with rhythms of ~100,000 years and 405,000 years - a distinct spectral signature to that of coeval global climate cycles. The authors propose that during high eccentricity times, the higher seasonal range of NPP in . . .
