Mayle, F. E. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9208-0519 (2011) A review of Holocene rainforest ecotonal dynamics at opposite ends of the Amazon - Bolivia versus Colombia. Geographica Helvetica, 66 (3). pp. 202-207. ISSN 2194-8798 doi: 10.5194/gh-66-202-2011

Abstract/Summary

In this review paper, the aim is to compare and contrast fossil pollen evidence for Holocene rainforest ecotonal dynamics at opposite ends of the Amazon basin – the southern ecotone in NE lowland Bolivia versus the northern ecotone in lowland Colombia. During the Holocene, tropical South America experienced major changes in precipitation (Silva Dias et al. 2009). Consideration of Amazonian rainforest dynamics over this time-frame may therefore provide important insights into rainforest responsiveness to climate change.
