(last updated on 2016/04/09)Abstract:
In sediments from Lake Botsumtwi dated between about 15 000 and 8500 yr BP, the presence of Olea hochstetteri pollen with percentages between 3 to 8% exhibits the spread of this typical mountain species to low altitudes. This phenomenon may have been caused by a heavy cloud lasting most of the year; it coincided with a lowering of the mean temperature of at least 2 to 3oC. -English summary
