(Geology)}, month = {Mar}, note = {Diatom floras of the Shorijo 10-2 core in the Shiotsugata Lagoon, northern Echigo Plain, central Japan are analyzed in order to elucidate the Pleistocene-Holocene diatom floral changes. Diatoms of 243 species belonging to 53 genera are identified. The diatom floras in this core are divided into seven divisions, D-1 to D-7. The D-1 to D-6 are in the Holocene and the D-7 is in the Pleistocene. The D-7 is dominant in fresh water species. The D-6 is a mixed flora of marine and fresh water species. The D-5 is characterized by the abundant existence of Cyclotella caspia as an indicator of brackish lake with low salinity. The D-4 is characterized by the appearance of several kinds of planktonic species in marine, brackish and fresh water. The D-3 consists mainly of a fresh water lake species Aulacoseira granulate. The D-2 and D-1consist mainly of fresh water species such as Aulacoseira ambigua and Achnanthes spp..}, pages = {47--81}, title = {Pleistocene-Holocene diatom floras of the Shiotsugata Lagoon in the Echigo Plain, central Japan}, volume = {16}, year = {2001} }
