“…The provenance study also indicates the presence of sediment input from the Himalaya via the river Hooghly, a distributory of the large Ganga river system, which is still active today . Similar types of mid Holocene coastal progradation are reported from other areas of the world, namely in northern Australia (Woodroffe et al 1985), in the Atralto delta in Colombia (West 1956), in the Nile delta in Egypt Warne 1993, 1994), in the Philippines (Berdin et al 2003), Indonesia (Atmadja and Soerojo 1994;Yulianto et al 2004), Bangladesh (Umitsu 1993;Islam and Tooley 1999), Puerto Rico (Lugo and Cintron 1975) and in the Mississippi delta in USA (Coleman and Roberts 1988). This suggests a world-wide phenomenon due to environmental changes caused by a combination of the factors of regional climate and local tectonics.…”

“…Therefore this ecosystem is sometimes referred to as a dancing ecosystem (Sanyal 1990). Mangrove pollen recovered from the sediments has been used by several workers as an indicator of sea level changes in the coastal areas (Woodroffe et al 1985;Sen and Banerjee 1990;Ellison 1994Ellison , 2005Kamaludin 1993;Hait et al 1996a, b;Blasco et al 1996;Islam and Tooley 1999;Lézine 1996;Lézine et al 2002;Nguyen et al 2000;Behling et al 2001Behling et al , 2004Campo and Bengo 2004;Yulianto et al 2004Yulianto et al , 2005.…”

A 50 m-long radiocarbon dated core was studied through sediment and pollen analysis to reconstruct the Holocene mangrove and environmental changes at a coastal site Pakhiralaya in the Sundarban Biosphere Reserve in the western Ganga-Brahmaputra Delta, India. This biosphere reserve harbours a diverse mangrove ecosystem and supports a large number of people living in the area. Pollen and stratigraphic data indicate the existence of a brackish water estuarine mangrove swamp forest in this area during the last 9880 cal yr B.P. The development of the mangrove forest is not shown continuously in the Holocene record. Rapid transgression of the sea (9240 cal yr B.P.) halted the development of the mangrove. After about 8420 cal yr B.P. mangrove recolonised the area and persisted until 7560 cal yr B.P. as a result of a balance between the sedimentation and sea level fluctuation. The mangrove disappeared again from the site until 4800 cal yr B.P. because of a high sedimentation rate and possible delta progradation with loss of habitats. The reappearance of mangrove at the study site occurred with a return of a brackish water estuarine environment and the site then gradually became supra tidal during the mid-late Holocene. The continuity of the mangrove development and dynamics was interrupted by the fluctuating sea levels. Climatic fluctuations were viewed as an indirect factor influencing the mangrove ecosystem.

“…The pollen records from southern Kalimantan and Sulawesi in the Makassar strait also show high abundance of mangrove pollen during the early Holocene on both sides of the Strait, and a decline during the mid Holocene [25]. The relative sea level record shows that it is about 2 or 3 meters higher during the early Holocene than it is today ( Figure 5(c)) [23,24].…”

A palynological and palaeoclimatological record from the southern Philippines since the Last Glacial Maximum

A palynological analysis of a marine sediment core in the southern Philippines, provides a detailed regional vegetation and climate history for the West Pacific Warm Pool (WPWP) since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Chronology was determined by a detailed oxygen isotope record. A higher representation of pollen from tropical upper montane rainforest during the LGM indicate that this forest type moved down along elevation, probabaly due to the lowered temperature. During the last deglaciation and the early Holocene, mangroves were more expanded and tropical mid and upper montane rainforests were restricted, suggesting a rising sea-level and temperature increase. Herbaceous pollen and pteridophyte spore records indicate a much drier condition during the LGM than the Holocene. Mangrove development is controlled by conditions at the river mouth influenced by river discharge. Pteridophyte spores are abundant in wet conditions and are mainly transported by rivers. During the mid-Holocene, the reduction in mangrove pollen and pteridophyte spore appears to be a result of climate change: mainly decrease in river discharge. This may have been affected by the decreasing intensity of the Southeast Asian Monsoon, and the increasing frequency and intensity of warm ENSO events, El Niño, in this region.Last Glacial Maximum, tropical rainforests, palynological analyses, sea-level change, river discharge Citation:Bian Y P, Jian Z M, Weng C Y, et al.

“…Thin peats are associated with beach ridges on the Mahakam delta (Allen et al, 1979;Gastaldo et al, 1993), but these are allochthonous, and are formed mainly of coarse woody debris carried by water. However, a study of coastal sediments by Yulianto et al (2004) from South West (SW) Sulawesi shows the presence of early Holocene peats which were in part dominated by Rhizophora pollen, with subordinate Avicennia and Sonneratia. Also, a study of the Thale Noi peat swamp, near the Sonkla lakes in South Thailand (Horton et al, 2005) indicates that true mangrove peats developed for a very short period immediately following the early Holocene sea level rise, about 6900 years ago, but were replaced after a short time by mixed swamp forest.…”
