A 22,000-Year Record of Monsoonal Precipitation from Northern Chile's Atacama Desert.
TL;DR: Fossil rodent middens and wetland deposits from the central Atacama Desert indicate increasing summer precipitation, grass cover, and groundwater levels from 16.2 to 10.5 calendar kiloyears before present, Paradoxically, this pluvial period coincided with the summer insolation minimum and reduced adiabatic heating over the central Andes.

TL;DR: The results indicate that terrestrial ecosystems are highly sensitive to temperature change and suggest that, without major reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere, terrestrial ecosystems worldwide are at risk of major transformation, with accompanying disruption of ecosystem services and impacts on biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
