LSU researchers discover ‘swamp power’ preserved ancient underwater forests
The ancient underwater forest about eight miles off the coast of Gulf Shores, Alabama, is known as a time capsule from the last ice age—and for the first time, researchers understand why. Chemical and pollen analyses found the bald cypress trees were buried in sediment from swamp and marsh ecosystems, like those in southeastern United States today. Such low-oxygen environments helped preserve the wood, which is more than 60,000 years old and grew on land at a time when sea levels were much lower than they are today. While ocean water and waves normally erode coastal deposits, the Alabama Underwater Forest, as it’s become known, was quickly buried in low-oxygen muds and sediment, forming a protective layer. When that layer was partly removed in 2004 by Hurricane Ivan, it revealed standing tree stumps at the bottom of the ocean, where few expected to find them.
