Growth environment of the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) reefs recorded by shells and sediment since mid-Holocene on the coastal plain of the Western Bohai Sea, China

High-resolution paleoenvironmental reconstruction is crucial for understanding past climate dynamics and predicting future climate changes. Holocene oyster reefs (Crassostrea gigas) on the coastal plain of the western Bohai sea serve as valuable archives for deciphering the paleoclimate fluctuations. Micro-scale sclerochronology study of individual oyster shells and macro-scale analysis on reef development can track the different time-resolution paleoenvironmental changes. This study investigate
