近年来，利用树木年轮序列重建过去的气候受到了广泛的关注。在南半球的许多地区长期和气候响应年表的发展是一个重要的一步，更好地了解过去的环境在这些地区3，4，但很少树木年代学相关的工作已经做了任何形式的非洲大陆5 -11，其中大部分主要是由年轮计数估计年龄。我们在这里报告的发展和气候解释的第一年年轮宽度指数年表从非洲撒哈拉以南。
The use of dated tree-ring series to reconstruct past climate has received much attention in recent years1,2. The development of long and climatically responsive chronologies in many areas of the Southern Hemisphere is an important step towards better understanding past environments in these areas3,4, but little dendrochronologically related work of any sort has been done on the African continent5–11, and most of this has consisted primarily of ring counts to estimate ages. We report here on the development and climatic interpretation of the first dated annual ring-width index chronology from Africa south of the Sahara.
