Abstract

Paleoproductivity changes in the central part of the Bering Sea since the last glacial period were reconstructed by analyzing opal and total organic carbon (TOC) content and their mass accumulation rate (MAR) in sediment core PC23A. Ages of the sediment were determined by both AMS $^{14}C$ dates using planktonic foraminifera and Last Appearance Datum of radiolaria (L. nipponica sakaii). The core-bottom age was calculated to reach back to 61,000 yr BP. and some of core-top was missing. Opal and TOC contents during the last glacial period varied in a range of 1-10% and 0.2-1.0%, and their average values are 5% and 0.7%, respectively. In contrast, during the last deglaciation, opal and TOC contents varied from 5 to 22% and from 0.8 to 1.2%, respectively, with increasing average values of 8% and 1.0%. Opal and TOC MAR were low ($1gcm^{-2}kyr^{-1}$, $0.2gcm^{-2}kyr^{-1}$) during the last glacial period, but they increased (>5 and >$1gcm^{-2}kyr^{-1}$) during the last deglaciation. High diatom productivity during the last deglaciation was most likely attributed to the elevated nutrient supply to the sea surface resulting from increased melt water input from the nearby land and enhanced Alaskan Stream injection from the south under the restricted sea-ice and warm condition during the rising sea level. On the contrary, low productivity during the last glacial period was mainly due to decreased Alaskan Stream injection during the low sea-level condition as well as to extensive development of sea ice under low-temperature seawater and cold environment.

베링해 중부 지역에서 획득된 피스톤 코아 PC23A의 퇴적물에서 오팔과 총유기탄소의 함량을 측정하고 집적률을 계산하여 마지막 빙하기 이후의 고생산성 변화를 살펴보았다. 코아 PC23A의 연대는 부유성 유공충의 AMS $^{14}C$ 탄소연대와 방산충 L. nipponica sakaii의 마지막 출현 기준에 의해서 결정되어있으며, 코아 최하단부가 약 61,000년 전으로 계산되었고, 코아 상부는 일부 손실된 것으로 판단된다. 오팔과 총유기탄소 함량은 마지막 빙하기 동안 각각 1-10%, 0.2-1.0%의 범위에서 변동하였으며, 각각 5%와 0.7%의 평균값을 보였다. 반면, 후빙기 동안에 오팔과 총유기탄소 함량은 5-22%, 0.8-1.2%의 범위에서 변동하였으며, 평균값은 각각 8%와 1.0%로 증가된 값을 보여주었다. 마찬가지로 오팔과 총유기탄소의 집적률도 마지막 빙하기($1gcm^{-2}kyr^{-1}$, $0.2gcm^{-2}kyr^{-1}$)동안 보다 후빙기 동안(>$5gcm^{-2}kyr^{-1}$, >$1gcm^{-2}kyr^{-1}$)에 증가하였다. 후빙기 동안 증가된 생산성은 온난한 기후에서 해빙의 발달이 미비하고 높아진 해수면 조건에서 주변 육상으로부터 융빙수의 유입 증가와 남쪽으로부터 알라스카 해류 유입의 증가에 의하여 영양염 공급이 충분한 환경에서 규조류가 번성하였기 때문이다. 반면, 마지막 빙하기 동안에는 낮아진 해수면으로 인하여 알라스카 해류의 유입이 감소하여 영양염의 공급이 제한되고, 낮은 수온과 추운 기후로 인해 광범위하게 발달한 해빙에 의해서 생산성이 감소되었다.
