Warm and highly stratified water-column&amp;nbsp;conditions are recorded by the characteristic assemblage of&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Globigerinoides ruber&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Globoturborotalita rubescens&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Florisphaera&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;profunda&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Rhabdosphaera&lt;/em&gt; spp. during the sapropel&amp;nbsp;S5 depositional interval (midpoint at 124 ka B.P.). Compared&amp;nbsp;with S5, &lt;em&gt;Globigerinita glutinata&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Globorotalia inflata&lt;/em&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Globigerinella siphonifera&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Globorotalia truncatulinoides&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;and the calcareous nannofossil &lt;em&gt;Emiliania huxleyi&lt;/em&gt; characterise&amp;nbsp;less stratified conditions within sapropel S1 (midpoint at&amp;nbsp;8.5 ka B.P.). Multivariate statistical analyses of calcareous&amp;nbsp;nannofossil and planktonic foraminifers in core ADE3-23&amp;nbsp;identify planktonic assemblages which typify sapropels S6,&amp;nbsp;S5 and S1 in the Libyan Sea. A warmer interval is&amp;nbsp;recognised in the middle part of the cold S6, and can be&lt;br&gt;associated with an influx of less saline waters and the&amp;nbsp;occurrence of a faint, temporary deep chlorophyll maximum.&amp;nbsp;Evidence for enhanced surface productivity and breakdown&amp;nbsp;of stratification is observed in the middle–upper part of the&amp;nbsp;warm S5, associated with climatic deterioration. Moreover,&amp;nbsp;an increase in surface productivity in the upper S1 implies&amp;nbsp;weak stratification. Our combined calcareous nannofossil&amp;nbsp;and planktonic foraminiferal data add to the evidence that&amp;nbsp;climate variability was more pronounced than commonly&amp;nbsp;considered to date for all the three studied Eastern&amp;nbsp;Mediterranean sapropel depositional intervals.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
