Paleoecological Signifance of Diatoms in Argentinean Estuaries

In this book, the literature on modern estuarine diatoms from Argentina is revised in order to synthesise the available ecological information and to detect possible modern analogues for Quaternary diatom assemblages. The main objective is to build bridges between ecology and paleoecology, and to discuss the reaches and limitations of the different approaches to diatom-based paleoenvironmental reconstructions.
