Abstract

For lack of temporal and spatial pattern of phytoplankton community structure in the Yellow Sea during the Holocene, biomarker records in core C02 and N05 were used to reconstruct the phytoplankton community structures, combined with published biomarker records. In the early Holocene, the relative ratios of alkenones (A/∑PB) and brassicasterol (B/∑PB) were low,while the relative ratio of dinosterol (D/∑PB) was high. High value of TMBR' index indicates that the phytoplankton community structure was controlled by terrestrial nutrients during this period. In the mid Holocene, A/∑PB increased, while B/∑PB and D/∑PB decreased. This is attributed to the Yellow Sea Warm Current intrusion with high temperature and high salinity. A/∑PB increased significantly at core sites ZY3, ZY2, ZY1 and YE-2 (35.5°N zone), while slightly at core sites C02 and N05. The Yellow Sea Warm Current flowed through the 35.5°N zone, controlling the phytoplankton community structure in the zone. However, the phytoplankton community structure in site C02 and N05 was still controlled by terrestrial nutrients. From the early Holocene to the mid Holocene, maximum of B/∑PB (D/∑PB) switched between sites C02 and N05 due to different controlling factors for these two locations, likely related to variations of the Yellow Sea Warm Current axis and the transportation of terrestrial matter. In the late Holocene, A/∑PB continued to increase, while B/∑PB and D/∑PB decreased. This might result from the strengthened circulation system induced by strengthened East Asian Winter Monsoon. Ratio between dinosterol and brassicasterol (D/B) increased in the late Holocene, due to the strengthened East Asian Winter Monsoon, which brought more nitrogen from atmosphere to ocean thus triggering dinoflagellates growth.
