This archived Paleoclimatology Study is available from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), under the World Data Service (WDS) for Paleoclimatology. The associated NCEI study type is Coral. The data include parameters of corals and sclerosponges with a geographic location of South China Sea, Western Pacific Ocean. The time period coverage is from 1517 to -69 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.

STUDY NOTES: Provided Keywords: Coral d13C seasonality, Insolation seasonality, Mid-late Holocene, Porites coral, Metabolic fractionation
ABSTRACT SUPPLIED BY ORIGINATOR: Coral skeleton d13C is a routinely measured indicator in modern insolation change research, but the knowledge of environmental and climatic signals recorded in its seasonality during geological time is sparse. In this study, we present eight Porites coral d13C records from the mid-late Holocene to the present from the northern South China Sea (NSCS). Compared with the main control factors for modern d13C changes, coral d13C seasonality in the NSCS since the mid-Holocene shows a long-term decreasing trend, which is consistent with the change trend as orbital-induced (precession) insolation seasonal amplitude. By excluding other influencing factors, we speculate that the stronger coral d13C seasonality (18.8%) over the mid-Holocene than modern period is attributable to the metabolic effect, which predicts the stronger coral d13C seasonality under stronger insolation seasonality. Our study has implications for coral d13C seasonality as a potential indicator to record past insolation information under different climatic backgrounds. |
