Pliocene–Pleistocene Redox Evolution of the Peruvian Margin: A Multi‐Proxy Approach
Abstract Due to upwelling of nutrient‐rich waters, the Peruvian Margin is one of the most productive regions of the global ocean, hosting one of the most pronounced and shallowest oxygen minimum zones. This combination of high productivity and low oxygen makes the Peruvian margin a critical site for reconstructing past environmental changes.

Niche diversification of Sphagnum in Bolivia [PDF]
Niche breadth values of Sphagnum species in the páramo and cloud forests of Bolivia are similar to those reported for Sphagnum-dominated peatlands in North America, but niche overlap values are higher for Sphagnum species in Bolivia. The pH, conductivity,

Abstract Land use and land cover change (LUCC) can affect the hydrological response time of rivers. However, it is difficult to generate robust and quantitative evidence of this impact at the catchment scale. This lack of evidence also affects the development of rainfall‐runoff models to make ex‐ante predictions.

Abstract Global Climate Models (GCMs) are essential for simulating past and future climates but suffer from systematic biases and coarse resolution, limiting direct applications. Bias correction (BC) and downscaling, using dynamical or statistical methods, address these issues. Quantile mapping (QM)‐based BC is widely used, yet it distorts dependencies,

Indigenous peoples and local community reports of climate change impacts on biodiversity
Abstract Climate change impacts on biodiversity have been primarily studied through ecological research methods, largely ignoring other knowledge systems. Indigenous and local knowledge systems include rich observations of changes in biodiversity that can inform climate change adaptation planning and environmental stewardship.
