A review of factors controlling Southern Hemisphere treelines and the implications of climate change on future treeline dynamics
Studies investigating treelines in the Southern Hemisphere are underrepresented in the
global literature, with a strong bias towards Northern Hemisphere treelines. Treelines in the …

The Holocene treeline in the northern Andes (Ecuador): first evidence from soil charcoal
G Di Pasquale, M Marziano, S Impagliazzo… - Palaeogeography …, 2008 - Elsevier
Indications for the speed and timing of past altitudinal treeline shifts are often contradictory.
Partly, this may be due to interpretation difficulties of pollen records, which are generally …

A 370,000-year record of vegetation and fire history around Lake Titicaca (Bolivia/Peru)
Fossil pollen and charcoal analyses of sediments from Lake Titicaca, Peru/Bolivia, provide a
record of palaeoclimatic variation spanning four full glacial cycles. Pollen, aquatic …

Synchronous interhemispheric Holocene climate trends in the tropical Andes
Holocene variations of tropical moisture balance have been ascribed to orbitally forced
changes in solar insolation. If this model is correct, millennial-scale climate evolution should …
