Evolution of floodplain sedimentation during the last millennia in the Ardenne Massif (Belgium)
In the Ardenne massif, several periods of increased sediment deposition have been identified during the last millennia. They can be correlated to increasing anthropogenic land use pressure. The majority of the sediments found in floodplains were deposited in the last 4000 years, and in many cases even in the last 1000 years. In the Amblève catchment, the first increase in sediment deposition of the Holocene occurred during the Bronze Age (3200 BP), related to first deforestations and crop cultures in the area. Several organic depositions have occurred between 2700 BP and 1000 BP and probably i... Mehr ...
