Sedimentation in these
entrenched floodplains was also influenced by sea-level fluctuation
during the Holocene, causing increased aggradation and formation of
large fluvial lakes and swamps (Singh 2001). Aggradation, the next phase of ecosystem development,
is a period of time in excess of 100 years when total biomass-the sum of
all living and once-living matter, from tree limbs to termites-is being
built. |
