“…In the Asia-Pacific region, relatively high sea levels approximately 6500 cal BP and 4000 cal BP and relatively low sea levels approximately 5000 cal BP and 2000 cal BP were reported (Tjia 1996;Sinsakul et al 1985;Sinsakul 1992;Fujimoto et al 1996Fujimoto et al , 1999a. In the Sunda Shelf, a relatively high sea level approximately 4200 cal BP was recognized (Geyh et al 1979;Hanebuth et al 2011), though the high level approximately 6500 cal BP has not been determined.…”

“…Freshwater peat deposits formed under the peat swamp forest are occasionally underlain by mangrove peat (Cameron et al 1989;Dommain et al 2015). These two peats can be easily distinguished visually because the freshwater peat generally contains a large amount of woody debris (Cameron et al 1989, Dommain et al 2015, though the upper central portion of the peat dome (Cameron et al 1989) and tip-up pool deposits formed after tree falls (Dommain et al 2015) are more fibrous and less woody, whereas the mangrove peat mainly consists of roots (Fujimoto et al 1999a) with black bark fragments. To reinforce the visual identification, EC and TS content analyses were applied for the basal peat at SKB-6.…”

“…The habitat evolution of mangrove forests has been revealed geomorphologically (e.g., Woodroffe 1982;Fujimoto et al 1996Fujimoto et al , 1999a, and concrete data on belowground carbon storage has been accumulating since the late 1990s (Fujimoto et al 1999b;Fujimoto 2004;Alongi 2012). Fujimoto (2004) compiled the data on belowground carbon storage and revealed that the Rhizophora community, which develops in the low sediment inflow area, can solely create mangrove peat (Mochida et al 1999) and has the highest ability to accumulate belowground carbon in mangrove communities.…”

Habitat evolution of a peat swamp forest and belowground carbon storage was examined in a coastal lowland along the eastern coast of Central Sumatra, Indonesia. Boring surveys using a hand-operated peat sampler for 32 sites and radiocarbon dating for 29 samples revealed that the peat swamp forest had begun formation by 6500 cal BP and expanded rapidly between 6500 and 5000 cal BP and between 4000 and 2000 cal BP to nearly the present distribution area. The thickness of the peat layer formed under the peat swamp forest reached approximately 4 m, even in the margin of the peat dome, and more than 9 m in the center. Stored carbon per unit volume of the peat layer was estimated to be between 30 and 44 kg C m −3 in the margin of the peat dome and approximately 26 kg C m −3 in the center, which was less than the general carbon values of the mangrove peat. The relatively higher amount of stored carbon per unit volume in the margin was possibly caused by an inflow of allochthonous carbon from flood deposits. Belowground carbon burial rate of the peat layer was calculated as between 31 and 105 g C m −2 years −1 in the peat dome margin and between 27 and 76 g C m −2 years −1 in the center, which were identical to mangrove peat. These data suggest that peat swamp forests have played a significant role as places for carbon sequestration belowground as well as mangrove forest with mangrove peat.

“…Evidence for this high sea-level phase was also reported from the western coast of the South China Sea. Recently reconstructed sea-level data for the Gulf of Thailand and the Malay Peninsula indicated that the sea level started to fall at 4000-3000 yr BP from a height of 2-4 m above the present level due to the increase in Antarctic ice volume in the late Holocene or climatic cooling events (Fujimoto et al, 1999;Tanabe et al, 2003). In summary, the sea level in the South China Sea experienced great oscillations in the Holocene.…”
