摘要

Reconstructions of past changes in the seawater calcium concentration (Ca-sw) are critical for understanding the long-term changes in ocean chemistry, the carbon cycle and for accurate application of elemental proxies (EI/Ca-CaCO3) in foraminifera (e.g., Mg/Ca as proxy of temperature). Here we show that Na/Ca ratios in foraminiferal shells could be used for reconstructing Ca-sw and Mg/Ca in the past oceans. Ca has a short residence time in the ocean (similar to 1 My), whereas Na in seawater has a residence time of similar to 100 My. Hence it may be reasonably assumed that Na-sw is invariant over the Cenozoic, enabling variations in oceanic Ca to be deduced from foraminiferal Na/Ca (Na/Ca-shell) if Na incorporation into foraminiferal shells depends on Na/Ca in seawater. Furthermore, the paleo-concentrations of other major and minor elements may then be calculated relative to the Ca in the shells, provided that other environmental or biological factors do not present a further complication. To evaluate this hypothesis, we cultured the benthic foraminifer Operculina ammonoides, an extant relative of the Eocene Nummulites, under varying Ca-sw and temperature. The foraminifera grew well under the experimental conditions and increased their weight by 40-90%. The newly grown calcite (identified using a Ba-135 labeling in the experimental seawater) was analyzed by Laser-Ablation ICP-MS for Li, Na, Mg and Sr to Ca ratios. The relationship between Na/Ca and Mg/Ca in the shell and their ratio in the solution are best described as a power function, where the instantaneous distribution coefficient is the derivative of the power fit to the El/Ca-shell versus El/Ca-sw. In contrast, D-sr and D-Li are invariant with El/Ca-sw. The influence of temperature on Li, Na and Sr incorporation was smaller than the uncertainty of our measurements. We conclude that Na/Ca in foraminiferal shells can be used to calculate paleo-calcium concentrations in the oceans and also other elements that may
