Holocene, geographical data model, mangrove, pollen analysis, remote sensing, sea-level. - A wide mangrove belt of about 350 km occurs along the coast between the Amazon estuary and the Gurupi River (North Brazil). The main objective of this work was to identify and analyze the present effect of inundation frequency on system structure and of past changes in relative sea-level and climate, using tools such as palynology, radiocarbon dating, remote sensing and the Geographic Information Systems (GIS).The combination of topography and tidal regime data allowed, together with GIS tools, to determine frequencies and the extent of flooded areas. This allowed the association between the topographical characteristics of the peninsula and ...
