    Abstract:
    In sediments from Lake Bosumtwi dated between 15 000-8500 yr BP, the presence of Olean hochstetteri pollen with percentages between 3-8% demonstrates the spread of this typical mountain species to low altitudes. This may have been caused by a heavy cloud cover lasting most of the year coinciding with a lowering of the mean temperature of at least 2-3oC. -from English summary
