Forams are lumped into two groups: benthic foraminifera that live on the sea floor, and planktonic foraminifera that live suspended in the water column. The remainder live on or in the sand, mud, rocks and plants at the bottom of the ocean. During the episodes of poor preservation from Cores 37-23 and within Core 19-18, diversity may drop to as Sediment cores from the Nordic seas covering the past five climatic cycles have been investigated to elucidate the climate-induced relation between the pelagic and benthic realm from studies of foraminifera.
