| Abstract: |
| Through densified surface sampling of foraminifera and accurate elevation measurement along three transect lines in open-coast tidal salt-marsh of Jianchuan,particular salt-marsh foraminifera assemblages were found.The salt-marsh foraminifera assemblages are distributed in well-defined vertical zonations with respect to elevation and closely parallel marsh floral zonations.At the top of the vertical zonation all foraminifera disappear abruptly which are accurately located at the highest high water datum.This distribution pattern can be used to relocate former sea levels accurately (to an accuracy of within ±5 cm).A modern regional criterion of foraminifera for relocating the former sea levels in high resolution in our country is provided,and deficiencies of studying the vertical zonation only in sheltered coast salt-marsh abroad are filled up. |
