abstract = "Continental shelves have the potential to remove atmospheric
carbon dioxide via the biological pump, burying it in seafloor
sediments. The efficiency of marine carbon sequestration changes
rapidly due to variations in biological productivity, organic
carbon oxidation, and burial rate. Here we present a high temporal
resolution record of marine carbon sequestration changes from a
western South Atlantic shelf site sensitive to Brazil
Current-driven upwelling. The comparison of biological records to
rare earth element (REE) patterns from authigenic oxides shows a
strong relationship between higher biological productivity and
stronger particle reactive element cycling (i.e. REE cycling)
during rapid climate change events. This is the first evidence
that authigenic oxides archive past changes in upper ocean REE
cycling by the exported organic carbon. In addition, our data
suggest that Brazil Current-driven upwelling varies on
millennial-scales and in time with continental precipitation
anomalies as registered in Brazilian speleothems during the
Holocene. This indicates an oceanatmosphere control on the
biological pump, most probably related to South American monsoon
system variability.",
