| Abstract | Tree ring reconstruction of paleoclimate in the tropics is challenging because tropical trees rarely have reliable annual banding. Consequently, the climate history of tropical areas like the Amazon of South America is poorly known, including how recent flood and drought extremes are typical of natural climate fluctuations, or if they are attributable to global climate warming and deforestation. Cedrela odorata has been demonstrated to grow annual rings that can be used to reconstruct wet-season |
