This dataset contains species-specific and size-specific stable carbon and oxygen isotopes measured on the foraminiferal shell in two selected samples in core site DSDP 516.

This dataset contains species-specific foraminiferal calcite oxygen and carbon stable isotope measurements (δ18O and δ13C) from sediment core samples at Deep Sea Drilling Program Site 516.

Early Pliocene oxygen isotopic composition and Mg/Ca ratios of Trilobatus sacculifer from ODP Site 202-1241 (Steph et al., 2006), and recalculated sea surface temperature and oxygen isotopic composition of seawater using PSU Solver (Thirumalai et al., 2016).

This dataset contains a global compilation of published core-top (Holocene) species-specific foraminifera-bound nitrogen isotopes data used for Figures 5, 7 and 8 in Auderset et al., 2025.

Early Pliocene oxygen isotopic composition and Mg/Ca ratios of Trilobatus sacculifer from ODP Site 165-999A (Haug et al., 2001; Groeneveld and Tiedemann, 2005), and recalculated sea surface temperature and oxygen isotopic composition of seawater using PSU Solver (Thirumalai et al., 2016).

Early Pliocene foraminifera-bound nitrogen isotope data from ODP Site 202-1241 in Trilobatus sacculifer and combined samples of Globortalia menardii and Globortalia tumida. Full procedural replicate precision provided when measured.

Early Pliocene foraminifera-bound nitrogen isotope data from ODP Site 165-999A in Trilobatus sacculifer and full procedural replicate precision (when measured).

This dataset contains species-specific foraminifera-bound nitrogen isotopes and nitrogen content from sediment core samples at Deep Sea Drilling Program Site 516 over a full glacial cycle.

The FORCIS (Foraminifera Response to Climatic Stress) database is a synthesis grouping datasets on living planktonic foraminifera. We assembled foraminiferal diversity and distribution data in the global oceans from 1910 until 2018, curating published and unpublished datasets. This database includes data collected using plankton tows, continuous plankton recorder, sediment traps and plankton pump from the global ocean.The FORCIS database version 01 is composed of 5 files (“.csv” format). All data coming from different sampling devices were put into separate “.csv” files. Only the data of the CPR from the Southern Hemisphere have been separated from the Northern Hemisphere CPR data as the data structure is not the same (species counts resolved vs. binned total counts, respectively).  Apart from the file of  CPR data from the Northern Hemisphere that contains only metadata and binned total counts, all the remaining four files contain 4 blocks:Block 1: metadata (from column 1 to 71)Block 2: original counts (from column 72 to 274)Block 3: generated counts based on the validated taxonomy (from column 275 to 331). We added “_VT” to each species name to distinguish it from other taxonomy levels. E.g. “g_bulloides” became “g_bulloides_VT”. The number of species counted per subsample is also reported in the column “number_of_species_counted_VT”Block 4: generated counts based on the lumped taxonomy (from column 332 to 379). In this case, we added “_LT” to each species name. E.g. “n_dutertrei” became “n_dutertrei_VT”. We also calculated the number of species counted per subsample and reported it in the column “number_of_species_counted_LT”Foraminifera abundance data counts are reported in different categories in the blocks 1,2 and 3 and described in the table below:count_typeunitAbsoluteind/m3Relative%Rawnumber of individualsFluxesind/m2/dayBin_Absoluteind/m3Bin_Relative%Bin_Rawnumber of individualsBin_Fluxesind/m2/day For more details about the FORCIS database column description, please check the data descriptor paper Chaabane et al. (2023) (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-023-02264-2).The database is kept open for any new entries and the updated version will be released in csv format. The labels of updated versions of the released “.csv” files will contain the date of their publication and versioning number.
