Foraminiferal Distribution in Two Nova Scotia Marshes

[摘要] Thirty sediment samples from marshes at Peggy's Cove and Clementsport, Nova Scotia, were examined and nine benthonic foraminifera species identified. Agglutinated tests form 98% of the total Foraminiferal population. Trochammina macrescens is the dominant form in upper marsh environments. This species is gradually replaced byMiliammina fuaca as lower marsh conditions are developed. M. fusca comprises 97% of the total population in the lower marsh environments sampled in this study.
