چکیده
We thank Prof. Gabriel Filipelli for his kind words regarding this study and are very pleased to see that he appreciates the implications, specifically regarding the possible over-interpretation of reactive (Ca-)P burial based on chemical analysis of sedimentary records. We have also taken to heart his criticism that the final section (6.3) on Fe and S cycling does not seem to fit with the core topics of the paper.

متن کاملSedimentary phosphorus and iron cycling in and below the oxygen minimum zone of the northern Arabian Sea
In this study, we investigate phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe) cycling in sediments along a depth transect from within to well below the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) in the northern Arabian Sea (Murray Ridge). Pore-water and solid-phase analyses show that authigenic formation of calcium phosphate minerals (Ca-P) is largely restricted to where the OMZ intersects the seafloor topography, likely due to h...

1-Introduction Climate change refers to any significant change in the existing mean climatic conditions within a certain time period (Jana and Majumder, 2010; Giorgi, 2006). Earth's climate change through history has happened (Nakicenovic et al., 2000; Bytnerowicz et al., 2007). 2-Materials and methods In this study, daily precipitation and daily maximum (Tmax) and daily minimum (Tmin) tempera...
متن کاملSedimentary phosphorus record from the Oman margin: New evidence of high productivity during glacial periods
[1] The northern region of the Arabian Sea is one of the biologically most fertile regions of the world oceans, with present productivity rates varying between 150 and 2500 mgC/m day [Madhupratap et al., 1996]. This is related to the influence of the southwesterly summer monsoon which causes vigorous upwelling along the Oman margin. Upwelling ceases during northeasterly winter monsoon activity;...
