Fig. 4. a in Benthic and Planktic Foraminifera as Indicators of Late Glacial to Holocene Paleoclimatic Changes in a Marginal Environment: An Example from the Southeastern Bay of Biscay

Fig. 4. a – time records in Cores CADIAC WH (black color) and FC WH (grey color) of benthic foraminiferal abundances (ind. g–1 of dry sediment), benthic foraminiferal accumulation rates (ind. cm–2 ka–1), relative abundances of the main benthic species present with ≥ 5% in at least one sample (after removing the non-fossilizing taxa), and species richness; b – time records in Cores CADIAC WH (black color) and FC WH (grey color) of planktic foraminiferal abundances (ind. g–1 of dry sediment), same indications as for benthic faunas. The horizontal dotted lines delimitate the major foraminiferal changes (see text for all the details).
