Records of export production (EP) from the surface ocean link primary productivity to burial and provide critical information about the strength of the biological pump and its relationship to carbon storage over climate transitions (see Sigman & Boyle, 2000 and references therein). However, changes in productivity over glacial-deglacial transitions are not yet well constrained (Carter et al., 2020;Loubere, 1999). Previous studies in the equatorial Pacific have alternately stated that productivity was greater during glacial periods (Herguera
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
