... Some sedimentary facies can themselves provide information regarding their palaeoenvironment of deposition (Li et al., 1986;Ling et al., 2021), such as in clastic deposits laid down under marine and estuarine conditions , or more organic saltmarsh sediments (Yang, 1999;Lyu et al., 2021Lyu et al., , 2022, both of which can be supplemented by diatom, foraminifera and ostracod analyses to indicate palaeosalinity (e.g., Zong et al., 2011;Chen et al., 2018;Dai et al., 2018;Jin et al., 2019;Jiang et al., 2021;Wu et al., 2022;Fu et al., 2023). However, factors such as water depth and quality in freshwater limnic or detrital facies are harder to determine, although a switch from peat to lacustrine gyttja would suggest increased water depth, for example. ...
