Ice age southern Andes : a chronicle of paleoecological events /

The Southern Andes, stretching from the subtropics to the subantarctic, are ideally located for palaeoenvironmental research. Over the broad and continuous latitudinal extent of the cordillera ( -24�), vegetation is adjusted to climatic gradients and atmospheric circulation patterns. Opposed to the...
