| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have investigated sediment-water interface dynamics through in-situ observations and laboratory experiments. Ecosystem Functions will be made clear through daily changes in chemocline. We have attempted to construct proxies that represent sediment-water interface dynamics. Optode observations, population dynamics, ecosystem functioning of benthic foraminifera were done during the project years. Foraminiferal test formation processes and quantitative analyses of trace elements in foraminiferal test and isotopic ecology have also carried out.
We have made clear test formation processes of foraminifera in detail. Foraminiferal test certainly recorded variations of environments. Trace elements in foraminiferal tests should be related to changes in sediment-water interface. Changes in trace elements in foraminiferal test are related to that of biogeochemical cycles in global scales.
