Redox evolution and the development of oxygen minimum zones in the Eastern Mediterranean Levantine basin during the early Holocene
Abstract
Oxygen Minimum Zones (OMZs) are expanding in modern oceans due to anthropogenically-driven climate and environmental change. In the Eastern Mediterranean Sea (EMS), OMZs developed in the early Holocene as a result of decreased intermediate water ventilation, increasing temperature, and increased Nile discharge and primary productivity. Here, we report benthic foraminiferal numbers (BFN) and species abundances, together with redox-sensitive …
