Late-glacial and Holocene vegetational history from two sites in the western Cordillera of southwestern Ecuador
The deciphering of the late-glacial and Holocene vegetation, glacial-geological, and climatic history of Cajas National Park in southwestern Ecuador is undertaken focusing on close-interval sampling of sediment cores from two high elevations lakes, Lagunas Chorreras (3700 m) and Pallcacocha (4060 m). This study involves extensive dating (both accelerator mass spectrometry and tephra), palynolog...
متن کاملClimate, CO2, and the history of North American grasses since the Last Glacial Maximum.
The spread of C4 grasses in the late Neogene is one of the most important ecological transitions of the Cenozoic, but the primary driver of this global expansion is widely debated. We use the stable carbon isotopic composition (δ(13)C) of bison and mammoth tissues as a proxy for the relative abundance of C3 and C4 vegetation in their grazing habitat to determine climatic and atmospheric CO2 con...
متن کاملEvolutionary history underlies plant physiological responses to global change since the last glacial maximum.
Assessing family- and species-level variation in physiological responses to global change across geologic time is critical for understanding factors that underlie changes in species distributions and community composition. Here, we used stable carbon isotopes, leaf nitrogen content and stomatal measurements to assess changes in leaf-level physiology in a mixed conifer community that underwent s...
متن کاملFactors controlling variability in the oxidative capacity of the troposphere since the Last Glacial Maximum
The oxidative capacity of past atmospheres is highly uncertain. We present here a new climate–biosphere– chemistry modeling framework to determine oxidant levels in the present and past troposphere. We use the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model driven by meteorological fields from the NASA Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS) ModelE, with land cover and fire emissions from dynamic global v...
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...
