Responses of Amazonian ecosystems to climatic and atmospheric carbon dioxide changes since the last glacial maximum.
The aims of this paper are to review previously published palaeovegetation and independent palaeoclimatic datasets together with new results we present from dynamic vegetation model simulations and modern pollen rain studies to: (i) determine the responses of Amazonian ecosystems to changes in temperature, precipitation and atmospheric CO2 concentrations that occurred since the last glacial max...
متن کاملThe Last Glacial Maximum.
We used 5704 14C, 10Be, and 3He ages that span the interval from 10,000 to 50,000 years ago (10 to 50 ka) to constrain the timing of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in terms of global ice-sheet and mountain-glacier extent. Growth of the ice sheets to their maximum positions occurred between 33.0 and 26.5 ka in response to climate forcing from decreases in northern summer insolation, tropical Pac...

On the magnitude of temperature decrease in the equatorial regions during the Last Glacial Maximum*
Based on the data of temperature changes revealed by means of various palaeothermometric proxy indices , it is found that the magnitude of temperature decrease became large with altitude in the equatorial regions during the Last Glacial Maximum. The direct cause of this phenomenon was the change in temperature lapse rate, which was about ( 0 . 1 ± 0 . 05) 't: / 100 m larger in the equator durin...
متن کاملWestern Pacific thermocline structure and the Pacific marine Intertropical Convergence Zone during the Last Glacial Maximum
Paleoclimate proxy evidence suggests a southward shift of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) during times of Northern Hemisphere cooling, including the Last Glacial Maximum, 19–23 ka before present. However, evidence for movement over the Pacific has mainly been limited to precipitation reconstructions near the continents, and the position of the Pacific marine ITCZ is less well constrai...
