There is still little knowledge \non the response of the marine environment to the pronounced \ncooling of the LIA and to the transition towards the 20th \ncentury global warming. Here we present decadal-scale \ncoccolithophore data from four short cores recovered from \nthe central Mediterranean Sea (northern Sicily Channel \nand Tyrrhenian Sea), which on the basis of 210Pb activity \nspan the last 200-350 years. The lowermost part of the record \nof one of the cores from the Sicily Channel, Station 407, \nwhich extends down to 1650 AD, is characterized by drastic \nchanges in productivity. Specifically, below 1850 AD, the \ndecrease in abundance of F. profunda and the increase of \nplacoliths, suggest increased productivity. The chronology \nof this change is related to the main phase of the Little \nIce Age, which might have impacted the hydrography of the \nsouthern coast of Sicily and promoted vertical mixing in \nthe water column. The comparison with climatic forcings \npoints out the importance of stronger and prolonged \nnortherly winds, together with decreased solar irradiance. \n","author":null,"citation":"Incarbona, A., P.
