Modern distribution patterns and species composition of dinoflagellate cysts are determined in 86 surface sediment samples. A total of 45 dinoflagellate cyst species are identified. Multivariate statistical analysis of the dinoflagellate cyst assemblage show that the distribution patterns and the species compositions are strongly related to the distance of a surface sample from the coast. This relationship may be the the result of offshore transport from the high productivty shallow coastal areas and/or of surface water productivity gradients in the SCS. The dinoflagellate cyst taxa can therefore be divided into three groups on the basis of surface water productivity. To test if these groupings can be used to reconstruct past changes in surface water productivity, the dinoflagellate cyst and pollen content from the high resolution core GIK 18267-3 are investigated. 4950 https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:8-diss-8289$xR$3Volltext$534 4961 https://macau.uni-kiel.de/receive/diss_mods_00000828 5051 560 5550 dinoflagellate cyst 5550 Dinoflagellaten 5550 East Asian monsoon 5550 Holozän 5550 Land-sea correlation 5550 late Quaternary 5550 Marine Palynology 5550 Paläoklimatologie 5550 Paleoclimate 5550 Paleoproductivity 5550 Pollen 5550 South China Sea 5550 South East Asia 5550 Südchinesisches Meer 5550 Zyste <Biologie>
