This special issue collates original research papers and reviews on paleoclimatic studies in southern South America over the past few millennia. Papers address the potential of different proxies for paleoclimatic reconstruction, present new datasets, and analyze regional features of model simulations. The topics covered complement those already presented in a first LOTRED-SA Special Issue published in the journal Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (Villalba et al., 2009).
This special issue is a contribution by the PAGES LUCIFS Working Group.

This special issue summarizes and synthesizes major results of the German priority research program "Changes of the geo-biosphere during the last 15,000 years - continental sediments as evidence for changing environmental conditions." The program, involving more than 40 research groups, was funded by the German Research Council (DFG) between 1994 to 2000 as a contribution to PAGES.
