Abstract:

Key Points: For the first time, drill holes in planktonic Foraminifera from the western South Atlantic were compared with paleoceanographic proxies. Paleoproductivity of the western South Atlantic was reconstructed using assemblage and geochemical indexes for the last 46 kyr. Paleoproductivity estimates and bioerosion rates of planktonic foraminiferal tests show a strong relation during late Quaternary.
