“…Spartina alterniflora forms narrow bands of low marsh (Adams, 1963;Brinson, 1991;Woerner and Hackney, 1997). Juncus roemerianus covers up to 77 % of salt-marsh area (Eleuterius, 1976) and dominates high marshes (Brinson, 1991).…”

“…Although this is a negative finding for the 565 potential to reconstruct RSL in our study region, it does help to refine the geographic range of locations 566 where bulk-sediment δ 13 C values could be utilized. Eleuterius (1976) found that 49-77% of salt-marsh 567 area in North Carolina was vegetated by Juncus roemerianus (C3 species) compared to <10% in Virginia 568…”

24 25We investigated the utility of foraminifera, testate amoebae and bulk-sediment δ 13 C measurements for 26 reconstructing Holocene relative sea level from sequences of salt-marsh sediment in Newfoundland, 27Canada. Modern, surface sediment was collected along transects from low to supra-tidal elevations in 28 eastern (at Placentia) and western (at Hynes Brook and Big River) Newfoundland. Consistent with 29 previous work, low-diversity assemblages of foraminifera display an almost binary division into a higher 30 salt-marsh assemblage dominated by Jadammina macrescens and Balticammina pseudomacrescens and a 31 lower salt-marsh assemblage comprised of Miliammina fusca. This pattern and composition resembles 32 those identified at other high latitude sites with cool climates and confirms that foraminifera are sea-level 33indicators. The lowest occurrence of testate amoebae was at approximately mean higher high water. The 34 composition of high salt-marsh testate amoebae assemblages (Centropyxis cassis type, Trinema spp., 35Tracheleuglypha dentata type, and Euglypha spp.) in Newfoundland was similar to elsewhere in the 36North Atlantic, but preservation bias favors removal of species with idiosomic tests over those with 37 xenosomic tests. The mixed high salt-marsh plant community in Newfoundland results in bulk 38 surface-sediment δ 13 C values that are typical of C3 plants, making them indistinguishable from freshwater 39 sediment. Therefore we propose that the utility of this proxy for reconstructing RSL in eastern North 40America is restricted to the coastline between Chesapeake Bay and southern Nova Scotia. Using a simple, 41 multi-proxy approach to establish that samples in three radiocarbon-dated sediment cores formed between 42 the lowest occurrence of testate amoebae and the highest occurrence of foraminifera, we generated three 43 example late Holocene sea-level index points at Hynes Brook. 44 3
