Abstract

Abstract

The paleoproductivity and paleoredox history in the Sea of Japan since 48 ka have been reconstructed using element geochemical data, and factors controlling the change are determined. The mass accumulations of multiproxies show that the paleoprodutivity has varied greatly since 48 ka. At 48~18 ka, a relative lower sea-level and a limited water mass exchange resulted in the lower paleoproductivity. At 18~11 ka, the higher paleoproductivity was resulted from the rich-nutrients water mass (the Oyasio and the East China Sea coastal water) inflowing into the Sea of Japan with relative sea-level rise, and the maximum value was observed at 12.6~11.5 ka. In the Holocene, the Tsushima Warm Current was a main factor that controlled the distribution of paleoproductivity, and since 5 ka the paleoproductivity had remained relative stability.the proxies about the paleoredox (TOC, molybdenum, uranium and manganese , the ratio of carbon to sulfur content, authigenic uranium and molybdenum contents) indicate that at 12~9 ka, the bottom water is anoxic. Both enhanced paleoproductivity and restricted bottom-water advection triggered the bottom water anoxic and it was also related to the global climate change and the sea-level change.
