The MAP stacks for the West Mediterranean and West-Central Africa are constructed from aggregated fossil pollen-based reconstructions. Specifically, the West Mediterranean stack integrates the MAP reconstructions from Padul, ODP-976 and MD95-2043 records, whereas the West-Central African stack incorporates the Bambili, Barombi, GIK16856-2 and KW31 records.
