Pollen-based vegetation, biodiversity, and biome reconstructions over the last 15,500 years from sediment core data at Mbi Crater in the Cameroon highlands (6.089273° N, 10.348549° E; 2015 m above sea level) are used to discuss the behavior of the lower edge of the Afromontane forest facing climate change. The data reveal that the post-glacial forest change gradually happened at Mbi and that the forest-wooded grassland ecotone was highly influenced by the climate variability related to the North Atlantic. The forest disruption and diversity loss intermittently occurred over the whole period, and their vegetation changes temporally match dry-cold events at the northern latitudes during the Younger Dryas, at 9.5–9.1 ka, 8.6–8.0 ka, 6.7–6.0 ka, 3.2 ka, and during the Little Ice Age (LIA). During the LIA, the mountain forest was subject to unprecedented levels of disturbance at all altitudes, unlike the seasonal lowland forests, which appears to have been only marginally affected.

根据喀麦隆高地 Mbi 陨石坑（北纬 6.089273°，东经 10.348549°；海拔 2015 米）的沉积岩心数据，根据过去 15,500 年的花粉植被、生物多样性和生物群落重建，用于讨论低层生物的行为面临气候变化的 Afromontane 森林边缘。数据显示，冰川后的森林变化在 Mbi 逐渐发生，森林-树木繁茂的草地交错带受与北大西洋相关的气候变率的影响很大。森林破坏和多样性丧失在整个时期间歇发生，其植被变化在时间上与新仙女木时期北纬地区的干冷事件相吻合，时间为9.5-9.1 ka、8.6-8.0 ka、6.7-6.0 ka、3.2 ka , 在小时候冰河世纪（LIA）。在 LIA 期间，山林在所有海拔高度都受到了前所未有的干扰，这与季节性低地森林不同，后者似乎只受到了轻微影响。
