Environmental changes and human impact on landscapes as recorded in lagoon-lacustrine sequences of Russky Island, South Far East

Late Holocene Vistula River Floods Recorded in Grain Size Distributions and Diatom Assemblages of Marine Sediments of the Gulf of Gdańsk (Baltic Sea)

“…It is important to mention that all the benthic diatoms found in the sediment cores were likely redeposited from shallower water depths as the sediment cores were taken from depths below the photic zone. The increased contribution of freshwater diatoms living in different benthic habitats in deposits considered as flood deposits supports the notion of the allochthonous origin of this material delivered by river floods, as suggested by Razjigaeva et al (2020).…”

“…Although planktonic forms dominated the diatom community, 41 out of 55 taxa were benthic, indicating the supply of diatoms washed out from various freshwater habitats. Similar, redeposition and mixing of diatoms from various environments were documented by Razjigaeva et al (2020) for flood events caused by paleo-typhoons in southern Sakhalin Island.…”
