Accurate inventory of tropical peatland is important in order to (a) determine the magnitude
of the carbon pool;(b) estimate the scale of transfers of peat‐derived greenhouse gases to …

Aim We aim to propose validated, spatially explicit hypotheses for the late Quaternary
distribution of the Brazilian Atlantic forest, and thereby provide a framework for integrating …

Aims We analyse here the variations in species composition and richness and the
geographic ranges of the tree species occurring in South American subtropical Atlantic and …

The early Pleistocene was driven by 41 kyr glacial cycles that have been rarely
characterized in continental records, especially in South America. Most of long-term records …

In this study, the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution by peat was
analyzed. The peat was collected from a peatland at Arroio do Silva Beach, in Santa …

The lack of paleoecological records from the montane Atlantic Rainforest of coastal Brazil, a
hotspot of biological diversity, has been a major obstacle to our understanding of the …

An examination of the late Holocene environmental and cultural sequences of the southern
Brazilian highlands indicates that the colonisation of this region by the Taquara/Itararé …

The mid-Holocene (6000 calibrated years before present) is a key period in
palaeoclimatology because incoming summer insolation was lower than during the late …

Abstract The Atlantic Rainforest, covering the area from northern Espirito Santo to Southern
Bahia states, has been considered as a stable forest during Pleistocene Glacial times. Aside …

The aim of this study is to represent simultaneously changes in the spatial distribution of the
Atlantic forest during the last 17,000 years. To characterize such changes, here we focused …
