Holocene Dynamics of Temperate Rainforests in West-Central Patagonia
Analyses of long-term ecosystem dynamics offer insights into the conditions that have led to stability vs. rapid change in the past and the importance of disturbance in regulating community composition. In this study, we (1) used lithology, pollen, and charcoal data from Mallín Casanova (47S) to reconstruct the wetland, vegetation, and fire history of west-central Patagonia; and (2) compared th...
متن کاملFire history in western Patagonia from paired tree-ring fire-scar and charcoal records
Fire history reconstructions are typically based on tree ages and tree-ring fire scars or on charcoal in sedimentary records from lakes or bogs, but rarely on both. In this study of fire history in western Patagonia (47–48 S) in southern South America (SSA) we compared three sedimentary charcoal records collected in bogs with tree-ring firescar data collected at 13 nearby sample sites. We exami...
متن کاملHolocene biomass burning and global dynamics of the carbon cycle.
Fire regimes have changed during the Holocene due to changes in climate, vegetation, and in human practices. Here, we hypothesise that changes in fire regime may have affected the global CO2 concentration in the atmosphere through the Holocene. Our data are based on quantitative reconstructions of biomass burning deduced from stratified charcoal records from Europe, and South-, Central- and Nor...
متن کاملA multi - proxy record of hydroclimate , vegetation , fire , and post - settlement impacts for a subalpine plateau , central
Apparent changes in vegetation distribution, fire, and other disturbance regimes throughout western North America have prompted investigations of the relative importance of human activities and climate change as potential causal mechanisms. Assessing the effects of Euro-American settlement is difficult because climate changes occur on multi-decadal to centennial time scales and require longer t...
متن کاملRegional Extinctions and Quaternary Shifts in the Geographic Range of Lestodelphys halli, the Southernmost Living Marsupial: Clues for Its Conservation
The Patagonian opossum (Lestodelphys halli), the southernmost living marsupial, inhabits dry and open environments, mainly in the Patagonian steppe (between ~32 °S and ~49 °S). Its rich fossil record shows its occurrence further north in Central Argentina during the Quaternary. The paleoenvironmental meaning of the past distribution of L. halli has been mostly addressed in a subjective framewor...
