We modeled effects of climate and vegetation change on lake water δ18O in the Maya area.

Past shifts in vegetation cover fail to fully account for changes in lake water δ18O.

Model results reveal late Holocene rainfall variability in the Maya Lowlands.

Model results indicate protracted aridity between 1500 and 800 cal yr BP.

The period of intense aridity is associated with Classic Maya cultural decline.
