The Oldest Holocene Caribbean Mangroves and Postglacial Sea Level Rise : Biogeographical Implications
Rull, Valentí (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont)

Date:	2024
Abstract:	This commentary underscores the importance of the recent discovery of the oldest in situ Holocene mangrove sediments found to date in the Caribbean region. It also emphasizes the implications of this finding for understanding postglacial sea level rise and the subsequent recolonization of current Caribbean coasts by mangrove communities. These communities likely survived the last glaciation in small microrefugia located beyond the present continental shelf, from where they expanded to form the present-day mangrove biogeographical patterns.
