      We describe the population density, biodiversity and vertical distribution in the sediment of benthic foraminifera, and their relationship to environmental parameters, in the Kveithola Trough (NW Barents Sea). Two staining methods, Cell Tracker Green (CTG) and Rose Bengal (RB), were used to distinguish between living and dead tests. CTG proved to be more effective than RB, and we therefore used this ...
    • Living and dead foraminiferal assemblages of the last decades from Kveithola Trough: Taphonomic processes and ecological highlights 

      Gamboa-Sojo, Viviana Maria; Husum, Katrine; Caridi, Francesca; Lucchi, Renata Giulia; Bensi, Manuel; Kovačević, Vedrana; Sabbatini, Anna; Langone, Leonardo; Dominiczak, Aleksander Tadeusz; Povea, Patricia; Morigi, Caterina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-15)
      We examine the living and dead benthic foraminiferal assemblages from the topmost 10 cm (using 150 μm sieve fraction) of three sedimentological short records collected in the Kveithola Trough (northwest Barents Sea). Our aim is to reconstruct the environmental variations of the last decades, connected to the interaction among the North Atlantic and the Arctic water masses. Our samples are collected ...
