“…Numerical models are useful tools for investigating Nd cycling since they can specify the processes that govern the spatiotemporal variability in Nd isotope distributions in the ocean. Neodymium isotopes have been simulated in a range of different modelling studies testing specific hypotheses relating to Nd fluxes and thermohaline redistribution (Pöppelmeier et al, 2020a;Arsouze et al, 2009;Rempfer et al, 2011;Siddall et al, 2008;Jones et al, 2008;Roberts et al, 2010;Tachikawa et al, 2003;Ayache et al, 2016;Gu et al, 2019;Oka et al, 2021Oka et al, , 2009Pöppelmeier et al, 2022;Ayache et al, 2023;Pasquier et al, 2022;Du et al, 2020). However, recent work suggests that a seafloor-wide benthic flux, resulting from early diagenetic reactions, may dominate the marine Nd cycle (Haley et al, 2017;Abbott, 2019;Abbott et al, 2015aAbbott et al, , b, 2019Du et al, 2016).…”
