“…The ecology of rivers flowing to the Pacific is also affected (Masotti et al, 2018), as exemplified in the summer of 2016 when the drought triggered the worst ever recorded harmful algal bloom in the coastal areas of Patagonia (Garreaud, 2018b). Amoroso et al (2018) developed a 525 year-long reconstruction from the Chubut River basin in Patagonia, finding the most severe droughts in 1680-1705, 1813-1828, 1900-1920, 1993-2002, and from 2011 to the present, in association with forest fires since the 1850s with a 12 year return interval, and a lack of fire for the last 94 years.…”

Owing to the extraordinary latitudinal extent, a strong orographic variability with very high mountain tops, and the presence of deep valleys and steep slopes, the Andes and the population of the region are highly prone and vulnerable to the impacts of a large suite of extreme weather events. Here we provide a review of the most salient events in terms of losses of human and animal lives, economic and monetary losses in costs and damages, and social disruption, namely: (1) extreme precipitation events and related processes (Mesoscale Convective Systems, lightning), (2) cold spells, frosts, and high winds, (3) the impacts of ENSO on extreme hydro-meteorological events, (4) floods, (5) landslides, mudslides, avalanches, and (6) droughts, heat waves and fires. For our purposes, we focus this review on three distinctive regions along the Andes: Northern tropical (north of 8 • S), Southern tropical (8 • S-27 • S) and Extratropical Andes (south of 27 • S). Research gaps are also identified and discussed at the end of this review. It is very likely that climate change will increase the vulnerability of the millions of inhabitants of the Andes, impacting their livelihoods and the sustainable development of the region into the twenty first century amidst urbanization, deforestation, air, soil and water pollution, and land use changes.

“…Thus, insufficient soil moisture negatively impacts growth (Villalba and Veblen, 1996;Villalba et al, 1998;Mundo et al, 2010). Good synchrony between drought events, as expressed by SPEI values and low runoff values for the Patagonian Chubut river (as reconstructed from A. chilensis tree rings), corroborated this close relationship between the species´ growth and seasonal water availability (Amoroso et al, 2018).…”
