Abstract Rising atmospheric [CO 2 ], c a , is expected to affect stomatal regulation of leaf gas‐exchange woody plants, thus influencing energy fluxes as well carbon (C), water, and nutrient cycling forests. Researchers have proposed various strategies for that include maintaining constant internal i drawdown in CO ( − ), / . These can result drastically different consequences gas‐exchange. The accuracy Earth systems models depends part on assumptions about generalizable patterns responses...
Identification of ecosystem turnover in the palaeo-vegetation record is important for understanding resilience ecosystems to past environmental change. There uncertainty over ability different types proxies detect turnover. The aim this paper compare sensitivity two – pollen and phytoliths changes within between three key tropical South American ecosystems: evergreen forest, dry forest savannah. A quantitative approach used assess these vegetation changes, based on variability proxy...
Abstract The Bolivian Chiquitano dry forest is the largest block of intact seasonally tropical in South America and a priority ecoregion for conservation due to its high threat status. However, long-term impacts drier climatic conditions on forests are not well understood, despite climate models predicting increased droughts over Bolivia coming century. In this paper, we assess during mid-Holocene using fossilised pollen, phytoliths, macro-charcoal, geochemical proxies from sediment core...

It is not an easy task for paleoscientists to communicate the relevance of their research policy makers and funders. However, increase in catastrophic environmental calamities related climate change (e.g. landslide, droughts, flooding) demands a response both terms policy-making future governmental decisions. Often, recent past was linked major shifts human behavior, which masks relative contribution humans nature. For example, 4.2 ka BP aridification event so severe that it may have...
