Some of the big questions before us:To what extent can Andean records inform us about Amazonia?How much climatic variation was there within ice age Amazonia?How robust are the data for a 5oC cooling in the terrestrial Neotropics?How dry was Amazonia during the last ice-age?
![Page 3: Andes to Amazonia: What we think we know and what we don’t. Mark Bush Florida Institute of Technology & Miles Silman Wake Forest University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551c158c550346a84f8b55ff/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Refugia
• Raised on modern biogeographic data but no reliable paeleocological data.
• Most recent manifestation is untestable as it has no time or habitat constraints (Haffer and Prance Amazoniana 2002).
Brown (1991)

Dry Forest Arcs
• Modern biogeographic data used to suggest the presence of a past habitat bridge of dry forests.
• Assumed to be ice-age• But there is no basis for
this assumption.• Nor a real difference from
modern required to allow movement of species.

TRMM data and paleo locations
• Not surprising that the different paleoecological records are providing a different story

Late Glacial and Holocene Vegetation from Lake Titicaca
Paduano et al. (Palaeo3 2003)

The Glad 800 drill rig (NSF/ODP) was hauled to Titicaca in 2001 and three cores were raised from deep water under the supervision of Paul Baker, Geoff Seltzer and Sheri Fritz.

Lake level and insolation
• Lake Titicaca and the Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia, respond to DJF insolation.
• Lake level at Titicaca varies synchronously with Pata for the last 70,000 years.

Lake level fluctuation in Amazonia
• Lakes Pata and Verde show continuous forest cover through last two glacial periods.
• Periods of low lake level correlate with periods of high K+ concentrations in sediment in Pata.
• Low lake level due to reduced precipitation.
![Page 18: Andes to Amazonia: What we think we know and what we don’t. Mark Bush Florida Institute of Technology & Miles Silman Wake Forest University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551c158c550346a84f8b55ff/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Lake level and orbital forcing
• Peak low-lake level corresponds to 11 K BP and 33 K BP with 22 K BP wet (matches Titicaca).
• Aligns to orbital rhythm of variation in insolation.
• Continuous forest cover suggests decrease in precipitation in the wet season rather than dry season.

What is cooling? All these sites provide evidence of a 5-7oC cooling at the LGM
13oC
8oC
Plants probably respond to minimum temperatures, and absolute modern minima are very different across the basin.Were absolute minima in the north reduced while monthly minima were reduced in the south?
![Page 43: Andes to Amazonia: What we think we know and what we don’t. Mark Bush Florida Institute of Technology & Miles Silman Wake Forest University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551c158c550346a84f8b55ff/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Extract sub-region for training and recognition
One way forward: Improving pollen recognition
Using SEM and vector-based computer modeling we aim to improve identification of key taxa to species or species group.More precise taxonomy = more precise bioclimatic envelope modeling
![Page 44: Andes to Amazonia: What we think we know and what we don’t. Mark Bush Florida Institute of Technology & Miles Silman Wake Forest University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551c158c550346a84f8b55ff/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
What we think we know: Strong decline in species diversity with elevation. Species migrate individualistically in response to climate change. Strong cooling signature in all Pleistocene records with some
species’ ranges typically moving 1000 m -1500 m downslope. Lowland taxa are adapted to Pleistocene cooling. Amazonian paleoclimates were temporally and spatially
heterogeneous. Refugia and savanna corridors are not grounded in reality.
![Page 45: Andes to Amazonia: What we think we know and what we don’t. Mark Bush Florida Institute of Technology & Miles Silman Wake Forest University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551c158c550346a84f8b55ff/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
What we don’t know:Do we have to reconcile the terrestrial record with the marine record?Difference in temperature could be absolute minima (NH) or mean temperature (SH)? To what extent forest structure changed.Fine-resolution climate change from the lowlands.The full impact of Holocene human activities.
