Description
Based on analyses of pollen and total organic carbon δ13C derived from sediment cores extracted from Lake Kamalété (0°43'S, 11°46'E) and Lake Ngučne (0°12'S, 10°28'E) in Gabon, Africa, Ngomanda et al. detected "strong fluctuations of wet-dry conditions during the Northern Hemisphere 'Medieval Warm Period' (1100-800 cal yr BP)," which were notable for their contrast to the more consistently "dry conditions during the 'Little Ice Age' (500-300 cal yr BP)."
