RELATIONSHIP OF COMMUNITY ECOLOGY TO SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY IN KAOLISHAN FORMATION NEAR NANJING

In this paper,it is considered that Kaolishan Formation near Nanjing is mainly of marine deposit. Five ecological communities and three sedimentary sequences are recognized altogether. The application of community ecological analysis to sequence stratigraphy is stressed,and the characteristics of Early and Middle Visean sea-level fluctuation in Lower Yangtze area are reconstructed. Compared with the global change of sea level,the eustatic cycle of Lower Yangtze area is somewhat different because of its particularity.
