Hydromorphodynamic interactions with vegetation are a part of fluvial biomorphodynamics in actively meandering rivers.Using palynofacies and grain size from sub-urban to urban reaches across the river valley,the spatial patterns of organic matter behavior are examined in a 38 km reach of the Gomati River in Lucknow District,Uttar Pradesh,India.This is done to understand how they respond to the alteration,preservation,and degradation after getting transported and deposited in sediment.Thirteen surface sediment samples of the Gomati River floodplain were analyzed for palynofacies and grain size to ascertain its fate in this reach,which comprises the big picture for past human settlement The shifts in the proportions of palynofacies associations,Le.,phytoclasts,palynomorphs,and amorphous organic matter(AOM)along with grain size,are considered to visualize the depositional process.The CONISS duster analysis revealed four zones reflecting high degradation and alteration of palynofacies in the urban regime compared to the sub-urban reaches where the low interference with natural settings il-lustrates the low deterioration of palynofacies.The relation between grain size and palynofacies was obtained using Principal Component Analysis(PCA)to emphasize the correlation with palynofacies in the meandering fluvial system of the Gomati River.In the floodplain deposits,the behavior of palynofacies,allows for the distinction of the regional aspects of fluvial sediment disposition.The current study compares urban and sub-urban settlement premises of today's communities and contributes to the understanding of the growth,dispersal,and decline of earlier human settlements.
