Vulnerability of cocoa-based agroforestry systems to climate change in West Africa
Scientific Reports, 2023 Previous research indicates that some important cocoa cultivated areas in West Africa will become unsuitable for growing cocoa in the next decades. However, it is not clear if this change will be mirrored by the shade tree species that could be used in ...

DENDROCHRONOLOGY AND RADIOCARBON DATING [PDF]
Radiocarbon, 2021 ABSTRACTBoth dendrochronology and radiocarbon (14C) dating have their roots back in the early to mid-1900s. Although they were independently developed, they began to intertwine in the 1950s when the founder of dendrochronology, A. E. Douglass, provided dated wood samples for Willard Libby to test his emerging 14C methods.

Progress in South America Dendrochronology [PDF]
, 2002 South America extends from 11°N to 62°S. Major boundaries such as the Andes on the western side of the continent and the land mass in the tropics create north-south and west-east variations in climate and ecosystems.
