  abstract = {{L}ocated at the northwestern part of the {A}mazon basin, {R}io {N}egro is the largest black-water river in the world and is one of the poorest studied regions of the {A}mazon lowlands. {I}n the middle-upper part of the {R}io {N}egro were retrieved sediment cores form {L}ake {A}carabixi, which were analyzed using pollen, spores, charcoal, and geochemistry. {T}he aim of this study was to detect the influences from humans and river dynamics on the vegetation history in the region. {T}wo main periods of vegetation and river dynamics were detected. {F}rom 10,840 to 8240 cal yr {BP}, the river had a direct influence into the lake. {T}he lake had a regional input of charcoal particles, which reflected the effect of the dry {H}olocene period in the basin. {F}urthermore, highland taxa such as {H}edyosmum and {M}yrsine were found at that time along with igapo forest species that are characteristic to tolerate extended flooding like {E}schweilera, {M}acrolobium, {M}yrtaceae, {S}wartzia, and {A}strocaryum. {D}uring the late {H}olocene (1600 to 650 cal yr {BP}), more lacustrine phases were observed. {T}here were no drastic changes in vegetation but the presence of pioneer species like {V}ismia and {C}ecropia, along with the signal of fires, which pointed to human disturbances.},
