Summary:The study of surface samples was used to determine the marsh foraminiferal distributions in five marsh areas in Nova Scotia: Chezzetcook Inlet. Chebogue Harbour, Wallace Basin, Summerville marsh, and Newport Landing. Detailed surface sampling in Chezzetcook revealed that marsh foraminifera are distributed in well-defined vertical zonations with respect to mean sea level and closely parallel marsh floral zonations. These zones vary slightly between marshes but appear to remain broadly similar throughout the world.
Target Audience:Specialized.
