Palaeoenvironmental Evolution During the Holocene in Itapeva Lake, RS, Brazil:Palynological and Geochemical Records

         

摘要

Based on palynological and geochemical data (Organic Carbon-Corg and Sulphur-S) of sedimentary samples from a vibrocore, considerations about the palaeoenvironmental evolution of Itapeva Lake region during the Holocene are made. The analysed core (BOXVI) consists in its lowermost part of a fine to medium sand packet, rich in glauconitic minerals, whose upper limit is considered to be the Holocene-Pleistocene contact. Using Cluster analysis on palynomorphs combined with Corg and S data, it was possible to distinguish four zones related to the Holocene transgression-regression cycle. Variations in Corg and S data permitted the recognition of changes in palaeosalinity. Zone 1 represents the beginning of the Holocene sedimentation; palynomorphs composition reveals a marsh environment under predominating freshwater conditions. In Zone 2, the occurrence of dinoflagellate cysts and high S values, indicating brackish water, reflects Holocene sea level highstand around 5100yrs. B.P. High concentration of Cyperaceae associated with a significant increase in Corg in Zone 3 indicates a typical marsh environment influenced at least sometimes by higher saline water, reflecting a regression phase. Salvinia natans (L)All. and Cyperaceae grains are considered to be the most significant palynomorpha in Zone 4, characterising a freshwater marsh. Based on the occurrence of dinoflagellates sample 2, Operculodinium sp., related to marine to estuarine environments, a question arises regarding about the time at which Barrier Ⅳ became completely closed.
