Radiocarbon evidence for the stability of polar ocean overturning during the Holocene

T. Chen, L. F. Robinson, et al.

This groundbreaking research by Tianyu Chen, Laura F. Robinson, and their colleagues reveals that the polar ocean overturning and ventilation during the Holocene were much more stable than previously thought. Their findings challenge the conventional belief that these processes significantly influenced atmospheric CO₂ levels, shedding light on the complex interactions of nutrient distribution and land carbon stocks.
