    Description / Table of Contents: Recent benthic foraminifera and their distribution in surface sediments were studied on a transect through the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) between 10 and 12?S. The OMZ with its steep gradients of oxygen concentrations allows to determine the oxygen-dependent changes of species compositions in a relatively small area. Our results from sediments of thirteen multicorer stations from 79 to 823 m water depth demonstrate that calcareous species, especially bolivinids dominate the assemblages throughout the OMZ. The depth distribution of several species matches distinct ranges of bottom water oxygen levels. The distribution pattern inferred a proxy which allows to estimate dissolved oxygen concentrations for reconstructing oxygen levels in the geological past.

    Description: The discovery that foraminifera are able to use nitrate instead of oxygen as energy source for their metabolism has challenged our understanding of nitrogen cycling in the ocean. It was evident before that only prokaryotes and fungi are able to denitrify. Rate estimates of foraminiferal denitrification were very sparse on a regional scale. Here, we present estimates of benthic foraminiferal denitrification rates from six stations at intermediate water depths in and below the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone (OMZ). Foraminiferal denitrification rates were calculated from abundance and assemblage composition of the total living fauna in both, surface and subsurface sediments, as well as from individual species specific denitrification rates. A comparison with total benthic denitrification rates as inferred by biogeochemical models revealed that benthic foraminifera account for the total denitrification on the shelf between 80 and 250 m water depth. They are still important denitrifiers in the centre of the OMZ around 320 m (29-56% of the benthic denitrification) but play only a minor role at the lower OMZ boundary and below the OMZ between 465 and 700 m (3-7% of total benthic denitrification). Furthermore, foraminiferal denitrification was compared to the total benthic nitrate loss measured during benthic chamber experiments. Foraminiferal denitrification contributes 1 to 50% to the total nitrate loss across a depth transect from 80 to 700 m, respectively. Flux rate estimates ranged from 0.01 to 1.3 mmol m-2 d-1. Furthermore we show that the amount of nitrate stored in living benthic foraminifera (3 to 705 µmol L-1) can be higher by three orders of magnitude as compared to the ambient pore waters in near surface sediments sustaining an important nitrate reservoir in Peruvian OMZ sediments. The substantial contribution of foraminiferal nitrate respiration to total benthic nitrate loss at the Peruvian margin, which is one of the main nitrate sink regions in the world oceans, underpins the importance of previously underestimated role of benthic foraminifera in global biochemical cycles.

    Description: The pore-densities (PD) in the tests of 232 specimens of the shallow infaunal foraminiferal species Bolivina spissa from eight locations off the Peruvian continental margin were investigated and compared to different environmental factors as water-depth, temperature, bottom-water oxygen ([O2]BW) and nitrate concentrations ([NO3–]BW). There is a negative exponential PD-[O2]BW correlation, but at oxygen-concentrations 〉10 µmol/l PD approaches a constant value without any further correlation to [O2]BW. The PD-[NO3–]BW relationship is better constrained than that for PD-[O2]BW. We hypothesize that the pores in the tests of B. spissa largely reflect the intracellular nitrate, and to a smaller extent the oxygen respiration. We also compared PD and porosity (P) of two single B.spissa and B.seminuda specimens from the same habitat. The comparison showed that P is significantly higher in B.seminuda than in B. spissa indicating that B.seminuda is much better adapted to strong oxygen-depleted habitats than B.spissa.

    Description: This study investigated the distribution of living (Rose Bengal stained) benthic foraminifera of the northwestern continental margin of South America with focus on the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) inhabiting species. Further, a new proxy for bottom water oxygen concentrations based on benthic foraminifera has been developed. On sediment core SO147-106KL from the Peruvian OMZ which comprises the last 20 kys the new proxy was applied to reconstruct the variability of bottom water oxygen concentrations during the past 19.6 kys.
