To achieve this goal, the analysis of the foraminiferal content in a group of sedimentary samples from 3 different environments was carried out. A total of 19 samples have been studied, 6 of them corresponding to submarine sediments up to 45 meters depth, 10 to beach sediments from the foreshore and 3 to sediments from recent eolian dunes.Results show that the foraminiferal content in submarine samples is much more elevated, both in number of individuals and species, compared to samples from the foreshore and the dunes, which seems to indicate that sedimentary inputs from the upper shelf towards the beach, and from the beach to the dunes are very weak | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/51569 | ISSN: | 0749-0208 | Fuente: | Journal of Coastal Research [ISSN 0749-0208], p. 46-51 |
