Abstract:
Little research has been undertaken on pollen deposition in salt marshes, in Britain or more widely (but see Roe and van de Plassche 2005), hampering attempts to interpret pollen sequences from the minerogenic deposits that they generate. In this paper we report the results of a preliminary study of modern pollen deposition on a mudflat and the lower parts of a salt marsh at Northwick Warth and Aust Warth respectively, on the English side of the Estuary (Figure 1). This research forms part of a broader study of seasonal variability in modern pollen and sedimentdeposition in salt-marsh and mudflat environments, to be published elsewhere. Here the focus is on the representation of salt-marsh plant communities in estuarine pollen sequences, and the ability to distinguish them in the pollen record from the vegetation on dry land and from the 'reservoir' of pollen stored in the estuarine water body. The implications of the similarity between cereal pollen and pollen of some saltmarsh grasses are also considered.
