Abstract The Miocene epoch (23.03–5.33 Ma) was a time interval of global warmth, relative
to today. Continental configurations and mountain topography transitioned toward modern …

Phosphorus (P) is a limiting nutrient for terrestrial biological productivity that commonly plays
a key role in net carbon uptake in terrestrial ecosystems (Tiessen et al. 1984, Roberts et al …

The late Miocene offers the opportunity to assess the sensitivity of the Earth's climate to
orbital forcing and to changing boundary conditions, such as ice volume and greenhouse …

The Pliocene period is the most recent time when the Earth was globally significantly (∼ 3°
C) warmer than today. However, the existing pCO2 data for the Pliocene are sparse and …

The causes of speciation in the sea are rarely obvious, because geographical barriers are
not conspicuous and dispersal abilities or marine organisms, particularly those of species …

Abstract Comparison between planktic foraminiferal oxygen isotope records from the
Caribbean Sea (Ocean Drilling Program [ODP] Site 999) and the equatorial east Pacific …

The role that phosphorite formation, the ultimate source rock for fertilizer phosphate
reserves, plays in the marine phosphorus (P) cycle has long been debated. A shift has …

The South China Sea is the largest low‐latitude marginal sea on the globe. For a long time,
