TL;DR: In this article, the authors used eleven pollen records from central and southern Brazil between latitudes 15 and 35°S representing all major vegetation types including cerrado, semi-deciduous forest, Araucaria forest, and southern littoral vegetation.

TL;DR: The Latin American Pollen Database (LAPD) as mentioned in this paper provides a taxonomic description of the parent taxa responsible for producing the pollen in sedimentary records from Latin American regions.

TL;DR: Palynological evidence of dryness in South American savannas during the end of the Pleistocene/beginning of the Holocene was also found by other authors as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Geochemical and palynological analyses of core CR1 from Crominia, Goias, provided information on the paleoenvironmental history of central Brazil as discussed by the authors, showing that prior to 32,400 B.P. the vegetation of the Crominia region was similar to the present one characterized locally by a complex of cerrado, gallery forest and palm swamp, indicating a semi-humid tropical climate.

TL;DR: A review of Late Quaternary palynological evidence from eight sites in the savannas of northern South America is presented in this paper, showing evidence for a climate more humid than at present from ca. 36 ka BP to ca. 22-18 ka BP.
