An annually resolved 40-year record of d98MoNIST values is reported for a Porites coral from the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), Australia. This, together with a four-day time-series of d98MoNIST measurements of seawater and samples from a range of coral species from Luhuitou Reef in Sanya Bay, northern South China Sea is used to investigate the relative fractionation of Mo isotopes between coral and seawater and assess the potential of d98MoNIST as a proxy for tracing biological activity. d98MoNIST values in the GBR coral skeleton are lighter than those of seawater (2.05‰, relative to NIST SRM 3134) and display large variations from 0.63‰ to 1.73‰, with a mean of 1.29‰. A significant relationship was found between coral d98MoNIST and sea surface temperature (SSTcal) in the GBR coral. These observations and the Luhuitou Reef seawater data indicate that temperature-mediated biological activity in coral polyps potentially modulate coral d98MoNIST. A biological fractionation model is proposed to explain how symbiotic zooxanthellae produce the considerable variations in Mo isotopic composition measured in the GBR coral. This fractionation suggests that Mo isotopes could potentially be used as a proxy for biological processes in corals. #--------------------------------------- # Publication # Authors: Deng, W., Wei, G., McCulloch, M., Xie, L., Liu, Y. and Zeng, T. # Published_Date_or_Year: 2014 # Published_Title: Evaluation of annual resolution coral geochemical records as climate proxies in the Great Barrier Reef of Australia # Journal_Name: Coral Reefs # Volume: 33 # Edition: # Issue: 4 # Pages: 965-977 # Report_Number: # DOI: 10.1007/s00338-014-1203-9 # Online_Resource: # Full_Citation: # Abstract: #--------------------------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: National Key Research and Development Program of China # Grant: 2016YFA0601204 #--------------------------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: China Postdoctoral Science Foundation # Grant: 2016M602549 #--------------------------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: Guangzhou Science Technology and Innovation Commission # Grant: 201607020008 #--------------------------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: National Natural Science Foundation of China # Grant: 41722301, 41473019, 41703011, 41325012 #--------------------------------------- # Site_Information # Site_Name: Arlington Reef # Location: Australia # Northernmost_Latitude: -16.6381 # Southernmost_Latitude: -16.6381 # Easternmost_Longitude: 146.1036 # Westernmost_Longitude: 146.1036 # Elevation_m: -4 #--------------------------------------- # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: 10AR2 isotopes, metals, SST Wang2019 # First_Year: 1970 # Last_Year: 2009 # Time_Unit: year Common Era # Core_Length_m: # Parameter_Keywords: trace metals, carbon isotopes, oxygen isotopes, chemistry # Notes: Porites sp. #--------------------------------------- # Chronology_Information # Chronology: #--------------------------------------- # Variables # PaST_Thesaurus_Download_Resource: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/paleo-search/skos/past-thesaurus.rdf # PaST_Thesaurus_Download_Description: Paleoenvironmental Standard Terms (PaST) Thesaurus terms, definitions, and relationships in SKOS format. # # Data variables follow that are preceded by "##" in columns one and two. # Variables list, one per line, shortname-tab-var components: what, material, error, units, seasonality, data type, detail, method, C or N for Character or Numeric data) # ## Year age,,,year Common Era,,corals and sclerosponges;climate reconstructions;instrumental,,,N, ## Sr/Ca Strontium/Calcium,Porites sp.,,millimole per mole,,corals and sclerosponges,,inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy,N,Data from Deng et al. 2014 ## d13C delta 13C,Porites sp.,,per mil VPDB,,corals and sclerosponges,,isotope ratio mass spectrometry,N,Data from Deng et al. 2014 ## SSTcal sea surface temperature,Porites sp.,,degree Celsius,,corals and sclerosponges,,,N,Sea surface temperature reconstruction.
