RESUMO -(Diatomáceas indicadoras de paleoambientes do Palavras-chave: diatomáceas, Quaternário, fóssil, estratigrafia ABSTRACT -(Diatoms as indicators of paleoenvironments during the Quaternary at Dois Irmãos, Recife, Pernambuco State, Brazil).A study of fossil diatoms from Lagoa das Diatomáceas (Dois Irmãos, Recife) was carried out based on a 4.5-meter-long core sample. Samples were analyzed at 10 cm intervals. A total of 46 taxa were identified in 19 genera, 40 species and six varieties. The stratigraphic column was composed of epiphytic (Actinella, Amphora, Cocconeis Eunotia, Fragilaria, Frustulia, Gomphonema and Rhopalodia), benthic (Navicula, Neidium, Nitzschia, Surirella), and planktonic (Aulacoseira, Cyclotella and Skeletonema) genera. Actinella brasiliensis, Anomoeoneis serians, Eunotia pectinalis and Frustulia rhomboides are oligohalobe, littoral species with high frequency and abundance, which suggests sediment deposition in a limnetic environment. Epiphyte dominance at certain depths confirms the presence of macrophytes during the deposition period. Only seven of the identified species are from a marine environment: Cocconeis heteroidea, Cocconeis scutellum, Diploneis decipiens, Nitzschia scalaris, Nitzschia sigma, Skeletonema costatum and Surirella heideni which occurred sporadically.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
