Correspondence to Bauch, H.A., and M. S. Weinelt, Surface Water Changes in the Norwegian Sea During Last Deglacial and Holocene Times. Furthermore, based on a high correlation coefficient between thermophile surfacewater species and the most dominant benthic suspension feeder, a strong pelagic-benthic coupling gives evidence of a continuous vertical connection of surface and bottom habitats in the Nordic seas during this time. Alley, R., P. A. Mayewski, T. Sowers, M. Stuiver, K. C. Taylor, and P.U. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves. Planktonic is an antonym of benthic. Foraminifera are separated into two groups following their life strategy, namely the planktonic and the benthic foraminifera. This direct linkage between pelagic and benthic faunal productivity persists, although with some notable variations, throughout the Holocene. Bauch, H.

A comparison of the total number of benthic and planktic foraminiferal tests (specimens per gram sediment) reveals corresponding fluctuations over the entire time range investigated.
