Biological and physical controls in the Southern Ocean on past millennial-scale atmospheric CO2 changes
Direct proxy evidence for the many explanations for past millennial-scale atmospheric CO2 changes remains scarce. Here, the authors show that changes in the efficiency of respired carbon storage in the deep Southern Ocean were linked to variations in atmospheric CO2over the last 65,000 years.
