Long tree-ring chronologies provide evidence of recent tree growth decrease in a Central African tropical forest.

Long tree-ring chronologies provide evidence of recent tree growth decrease in a Central African tropical forest.

It is still unclear whether the exponential rise of atmospheric CO2 concentration has produced a fertilization effect on tropical forests, thus incrementing their growth rate, in the last two centuries.
