Description

 For the newly formed tidal flats on Benkalis Island in Riau Province, Republic of Indonesia, its formation history and the amount of carbon deposited there were estimated from the field survey. The elevation of the coastal seafloor was initially about -1 m from MSL when tidelands began to be formed. Judging from the satellite image and the result of the field observation, the sandspits which consisted of peat particles deposited first, then the lagoon was formed behind the sandspit. After that, clay particles accumulated in the lagoon. Finally, a tidal flat with mangroves was formed at lagoon. It was found that the secondary sediments derived from the peat that had collapsed on another coast were accumulated in the tidal flat with less decomoposed.
