Sedimentation rate, TOC, XRF, Pulleniatina obliquiloculata abundance, BFAR, benthic foraminifera assemblages and bottom - pore water oxygenation benthic foraminfiera transfer function from sediment core MD18-3523, east of Taiwan, over the last 19 kyr

Sediment core MD18-3523 was collected on a levee of the Hoping Canyon (2972 m water depth), east of Taiwan, during the Franco-Taiwanese oceanographic cruise EAGER, in summer 2018. The data were used for the article: Fenies, P., Bassetti, M.-A., Riveiros, N.V., Ho, S.L., Chang, Y.-P., Löwemark, L., Bretonnière, F., Babonneau, N., Ratzov, G., Hsu, S.-K., Su, C.-C., 2024. Changes in the particulate organic carbon pump efficiency since the Last Glacial Maximum in the northwestern Philippine Sea. Quaternary Science Advances 100223. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.qsa.2024.100223 This paleoceanographic dataset includes : Linear sedimentation rates between radiocarbon dates reconstructed using Oxcal software XRF data for the elements Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), Bromine (Br), Titanium (Ti) and Potassium (K) in counts per second (cps). Measurements were taken using an ITRAX core scanner. Total organic carbon (TOC) concentration in percent (%) using a Thermo Flash 2000 elemental analyzer. The relative abundance of the planktonic foraminifera Pulleniatina obliquiloculata in percent (%). Benthic foraminifera accumulation rate (BFAR; ind g-1 cm-2 kyr-1). A table of all benthic foraminifera taxa identified, with the number of individuals and relative abundance of each taxa. The relative abundance of the different biofacies (31 taxa with abundance greater than 5% in at least two samples). Bottom - pore water dissolved oxygen concentration reconstructed using benthic foraminiferal transfer functions: Enhanced Benthic Foraminifera Index (EBFOI; Kranner et al., 2022) and Benthic Foraminifera Assemblage (BFA; Tetard et al., 2021). The terms “EBFOI_31” and “BFA_31” indicate the use in the transfer functions of the 31 taxa with an abundance greater than 5% in at least two samples. The terms “EBFOI_27” and “BFA_27” indicate the use in transfer functions of 27 taxa with abundance greater than 5% in at least two samples, taxa that may originate from a bathymetric zone shallower than the sediment core location have been removed from the equations.
