  abstract = {{T}his paper presents the pollen, microcharcoal and geochemical data generated by a sediment core extracted from {L}ake {C}hild in the {M}anengouba massif of {C}ameroon ({MAN}-01: 5.02996 {N}, 9.822910{E}; 1948 m asl) covering the time interval between 15.4 and 9.6 ka. {W}ith an exceptional sedimentation rate of up to 13 cm per year, this record represents the highest resolution of the environmental changes that took place in the highlands of equatorial {A}tlantic {A}frica during the last deglaciation. {O}ur study shows (1) that the {Y}ounger {D}ryas ({YD}) dry event consisted of two distinct phases: a dry phase between 12.8 and 11.7 ka followed by a wetter and colder phase between 11.7 and 11.3 ka; (2) that the {A}fromontane forest elements that were present during the last glacial period were replaced by sub-montane forest elements during the {H}olocene; (3) that vegetation and the hydrological environment have not always evolved in parallel: this was particularly the case at the {YD}/{H}olocene transition when the abrupt shift in hydrological conditions contrasted with the gradual spread of forests.},
