Abstract
The post-transgression period witnessed the decline of mangroves, whose remnants were identified mostly in the initial 2Â m of Holocene estuarine sediments. Accelerated sea-level rise, combined with geomorphological confinement of the studied intertidal zone, was probably responsible for the demise of halophyte vegetation, which thrived again in the late Holocene.
