This list's taxonomic treatment (designation and sequence of orders, families, and species) and nomenclature (common and scientific names) follow the conventions of Clements's 5th edition. The family accounts at the beginning of each heading reflects this taxonomy, as do the species counts found in each family account. Introduced and accidental species are included in the total counts for Suriname.

The following tags have been used to highlight certain relevant categories. It must be noted that not all species fall into one of these categories. Those that do not are commonly occurring, native species.

  • (A) Accidental A species that rarely or accidentally occurs in Suriname.
  • (E) Endemic A species endemic to Suriname.
  • (I) Introduced A species introduced to Suriname as a consequence, direct or indirect, of human actions.
  • (Ex) Extirpated A species that no longer occurs in Suriname although populations exist elsewhere.

Heinrich events in Antarchtische ijskernen (boven) en Groenlandse (onder), de events zijn genummerd H1 tot en met H6

Een Heinrich event is een geologische gebeurtenis binnen een glaciaal gedurende het Kwartair. Een Heinrich event wordt gekenmerkt door een toename van sediment uit ijsbergen op lage breedtes, een verlaagde temperatuur op het noordelijk halfrond en een verhoogde temperatuur op het zuidelijk halfrond. Binnen de laatste 80.000 jaar worden zes verschillende events onderscheiden, die meestal gezien worden in verband met plotselinge variaties in de dynamiek van de Noord-Amerikaanse ijskap en de oceaancirculatie.

Herkenning en correlatie bewerken

Heinrich events werden in eerste instantie herkend in diepzeekernen op relatief lage breedtes in de noordelijke Atlantische Oceaan aan het voorkomen van ice rafted debris (IRD) dat met ijsbergen wordt meegevoerd (zoals dropstones). Ze zijn voor het eerst beschreven als cyclische gebeurtenissen in 1988 door Hartmut Heinrich, die ze tevens correleerde met veranderingen in het voorkomen van bepaalde planktonische foraminiferen.[1] Later zijn ze ook herkend in andere proxy-archieven die met name op zuurstofisotopen-analyse zijn gebasseerd. In ijskernen uit de Groenlandse ijskap zijn te herkennen als diepe dalen in de δ18O-waarde. Tot op zekere hoogte is het ook mogelijk de Heinrich events te correleren met isotopenwaardes van speleothemen uit China en ijskernen uit Antarctica.

Kenmerken bewerken

Heinrich events vertonen een duidelijke samenhang met Dansgaard-Oeschger cycli (D/O-cycli). De D/O-cycli hebben een vrij regelmatige periode van 1500 jaar, de Heinrich events treden echter wat onregelmatiger op, het tijdsinterval varieert ruwweg van 5000 tot 15.000 jaar. De Heinrich events worden meestal gevolgd door een plotselinge sterke stijging in de temperatuur.
