Changes in surface water masses in the northern East China Sea since the Last Glacial Maximum based on diatom assemblages

Abstract We investigated diatom assemblages for the last 19 ka in a piston core KY07-04 PC01 collected from the northern Okinawa Trough, East China Sea. Most of the diatom taxa in the Core KY07-04 PC01 were subtropical to temperate marine species throughout the core. Pronounced turnover of major dia...
