Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of the present study is to reconstruct temporal changes of anthropogenic and climatic impacts on the ecosystems mainly since the early modern times, based on several analyses of surface and core samples collected from the Seto Inland Sea, southwestern Japan. The results showed that centennial-scale marine climatic changes have influenced the biological productivity in the study areas (Harima-Nada, Hiuchi-Nada, Suo-Nada, and Beppu Bay). Moreover, organic and heavy metal pollutions from the early 19th century started to influence benthic organisms. In particular, the ostracode faunas changed drastically to those more vulnerable to human-induced eutrophication/hypoxia during the Japanese economic miracle in every area. Then heavy metal pollution and reduced environments have been improved but the ostracode faunas do not change.
