abstract = {High-altitude cushion peatlands are versatile archives for
high-resolution palaeoenvironmental studies, due to their
high accumulation rates, range of proxies, and sensitivity
to climatic and/or human-induced changes. Especially within
the Central Andes, the knowledge about climate conditions
during the Holocene is limited. In this study, we present
the environmental and climatic history for the last 2100
years of Cerro Tuzgle peatland (CTP), located in the dry
Puna of NW Argentina, based on a multi-proxy approach. X-ray
fluorescence (XRF), stable isotope and element content
analyses (δ13C, δ15N, TN and TOC) were conducted to
analyse the inorganic geochemistry throughout the sequence,
revealing changes in the peatlands' past redox conditions.
Pollen assemblages give an insight into substantial
environmental changes on a regional scale. The palaeoclimate
varied significantly during the last 2100 years. The results
reflect prominent late Holocene climate anomalies and
provide evidence that in situ moisture changes were coupled
to the migration of the Intertropical Convergence Zone
(ITCZ). A period of sustained dry conditions prevailed from
around 150 BC to around AD 150. A more humid phase
dominated between AD 200 and AD 550. Afterwards, the
climate was characterised by changes between drier and
wetter conditions, with droughts at around AD 650–800
and AD 1000–1100. Volcanic forcing at the beginning of
the 19th century (1815 Tambora eruption) seems to have had
an impact on climatic settings in the Central Andes. In the
past, the peatland recovered from climatic perturbations.
Today, CTP is heavily degraded by human interventions, and
the peat deposit is becoming increasingly susceptible to
erosion and incision.},
