Abstract
⺠Fossil pollen, charcoal and spores provided an 18 ka year record of climate change. ⺠Charcoal revealed that fire was a transformative agent in the eastern Andes. ⺠A major increase in burning occurred in the early Holocene (10.1 ka cal BP). ⺠Pollen and charcoal indicated a shift to wetter conditions at 6.4 ka cal BP. ⺠The sensitivity of Polylepis woodland to fire is confirmed.
