  abstract = {{T}he mid-{H}olocene (6000 calibrated years before present) is a key period in palaeoclimatology because incoming summer insolation was lower than during the late {H}olocene in the {S}outhern {H}emisphere, whereas the opposite happened in the {N}orthern {H}emisphere. {H}owever, the effects of the decreased austral summer insolation over {S}outh {A}merican climate have been poorly discussed by palaeodata syntheses. {I}n addition, only a few of the regional studies have characterised the mid-{H}olocene climate in {S}outh {A}merica through a multiproxy approach. {H}ere, we present a multiproxy compilation of mid-{H}olocene palaeoclimate data for eastern {S}outh {A}merica. {W}e compiled 120 palaeoclimatological datasets, which were published in 84 different papers. {T}he palaeodata analysed here suggest a water deficit scenario in the majority of eastern {S}outh {A}merica during the mid-{H}olocene if compared to the late {H}olocene, with the exception of northeastern {B}razil. {L}ow mid-{H}olocene austral summer insolation caused a reduced land-sea temperature contrast and hence a weakened {S}outh {A}merican monsoon system circulation. {T}his scenario is represented by a decrease in precipitation over the {S}outh {A}tlantic {C}onvergence {Z}one area, saltier conditions along the {S}outh {A}merican continental margin, and lower lake levels.},
