Description
Among other things, the authors derived a 1500-year history of Andean biome elevation changes from analyses of pollen identified in cores removed from the Piedras Blancas peat bog (8°47'N, 70°50'W). This work revealed that from at least AD 500 to about AD 1000, temperatures were generally higher than they were during the late 20th century.
