Understanding climate change impacts on biome and plant distributions in the Andes: Challenges and opportunities
Aim Climate change is expected to impact mountain biodiversity by shifting species ranges
and the biomes they shape. The extent and regional variation in these impacts are still …

High impact weather events in the Andes
Owing to the extraordinary latitudinal extent, a strong orographic variability with very high
mountain tops, and the presence of deep valleys and steep slopes, the Andes and the …

Observed and projected hydroclimate changes in the Andes
The Andes is the most biodiverse region across the globe. In addition, some of the largest
urban areas in South America are located within this region. Therefore, ecosystems and …

A global framework for linking alpine‐treeline ecotone patterns to underlying processes
Globally, treeline ecotones vary from abrupt lines to extended zones of increasingly small,
stunted and/or dispersed trees. These spatial patterns contain information about the …

Recent changes in the precipitation-driving processes over the southern tropical Andes/western Amazon
Abstract Analyzing December–February (DJF) precipitation in the southern tropical Andes—
STA (12^ ∘\, S 12∘ S–20^ ∘\, S 20∘ S;> 3000 masl) allows revisiting regional atmospheric …

IntCal, SHCal, or a mixed curve? Choosing a 14C calibration curve for archaeological and paleoenvironmental records from tropical South America
Because the 14C calibration curves IntCal and SHCal are based on data from temperate
latitudes, it remains unclear which curve is more suitable for archaeological and …

Continuities and discontinuities in the socio-environmental systems of the Atacama Desert during the last 13,000 years
Understanding how human societies interacted with environmental changes is a major goal
of archaeology and other socio-natural sciences. In this paper, we assess the human …

A re-appraisal of the ENSO response to volcanism with paleoclimate data assimilation
The potential for explosive volcanism to affect the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has
been debated since the 1980s. Several observational studies, based largely on tree-ring …

Glacial areas, lake areas, and snow lines from 1975 to 2012: status of the Cordillera Vilcanota, including the Quelccaya Ice Cap, northern central Andes, Peru
MN Hanshaw, B Bookhagen - The Cryosphere, 2014 - tc.copernicus.org
Glaciers in the tropical Andes of southern Peru have received limited attention compared to
glaciers in other regions (both near and far), yet remain of vital importance to agriculture …
