Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Extensive fieldwork and systematic sampling over the past three years has produced the most complete data set of palaeoentomological information derived from any single estuary. Analysis of these samples makes it possible to infer that, over varying spatial and temporal scales, the past biomes of the Severn Estuary (Figure 1) were a complex mosaic of habitats from saltmarsh to reed swamp and raised bog, a superb illustration of haloseral and subsequent hydroseral transition. Despite a plethora of evidence indicating otherwise (several hundred root boles and fallen trunks!) entomological evidence of the widespread Mesolithic and later Neolithic woodlands within the Severn Estuary has been conspicuously absent within the entomological record at Redwick, Gwent (Paddock 2001, 2002; Tetlow in prep) and Gravel Banks, Avon (Tetlow in prep.). The basal peat generally developed later than the submerged forest which it covers, hence the lack of insect species associated with woodland. This balance has, however, been redressed by work at Goldcliff East, which has produced comprehensive and unequivocal woodland assemblages, comparable to those found west of Goldcliff Island by Smith et al (1997, 2000). | |||
