Salinity control on Na incorporation into calcite tests of the planktonic foraminifera <i>Trilobatus sacculifer</i> – evidence from culture experiments and surface sediments
<p>The quantitative reconstruction of past seawater salinity has yet to be achieved, and the search for a direct and independent salinity proxy is ongoing. Recent culture and field studies show a significant positive correlation of Na∕Ca with salinity in benthic and planktonic foraminifera...
