We compare total and biogenic particle ¯uxes and stable nitrogen isotope ratios (d 15 N) at three mooring sites along a productivity gradient in the Canary Islands region with surface sediment accumulation rates and sedimentary d 15 N. Higher particle ¯uxes and sediment accumulation rates, and lower
