“…Several studies have presented coastal environmental shifts in response to Holocene sea-level changes (Behling et al, 2001(Behling et al, , 2004Blasco et al, 1996;Cohen et al, 2005aCohen et al, ,b, 2012Ellison, 2005;Engelhart et al, 2007;Fujimoto et al, 1996;Guimarães et al, 2012Guimarães et al, , 2013Horton et al, 2005;Monacci et al, 2009Monacci et al, , 2011Parkinson et al, 1994;Smith et al, 2012;Woodroffe, 1981;Yulianto et al, 2004Yulianto et al, , 2005. The effect of relative sea-level (RSL) changes is apparent in coastal environments, where significant geomorphological changes (Giannini et al, 2007) extend to the mangrove dynamics (Behling et al, 2001(Behling et al, , 2004Cohen and Lara, 2003;Cohen et al, 2004Cohen et al, , 2005aFrança et al, 2012;Guimarães et al, 2012;Lara et al, 2002;Vedel et al, 2006).…”
