Short summary

We examine benthic foraminiferal communities along an inner-to-outer transect in a fjord of Victoria Land. Community structure reflects organic matter flux, sedimentation rates, and circulation regimes. Inner sites show signs of stress, likely tied to oxygen depletion after sea-ice break up. Outer sites have higher densities, suggesting improved conditions. Comparison between paleocommunities and modern assemblages shows that communities are still recovering from late Holocene changes.
