Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 38, Issue 6, Page 970-990, August 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Uncertainty remains over local‐scale responses of ecotonal Amazonian forests to middle Holocene drying due to the scarcity, and coarse spatial resolution, of lacustrine pollen records. This paper examines the palaeoecological potential of soil phytoliths, stable carbon isotopes and charcoal for capturing local‐scale ecotonal responses of ...

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 881-892, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim Palms are iconic and dominant elements of neotropical forests. In the Amazon region, palms have been used and managed by humans for food, material, medicine and other purposes for millennia. It is, however, debated to what extent the structure of modern palm communities reflects long‐term human modification.

Holocene increases in palm abundances in north‐western Amazonia
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 698-711, March 2020., 2020 Abstract Aim In Amazonia, 227 of c. 16,000 tree species account for half the individual trees (termed ‘hyperdominant’ species), and a disproportionate number of these species are palms. Our objectives are to show how and whether palm abundance has changed through the Holocene.
