- •
Tropical forest composition responded to ITCZ-driven precipitation change during Heinrich 1, the Bølling-Allerød and Younger Dryas.
- •
The coolest interval of the last 30,000 years occurred during Heinrich 1, while cooling during the Younger Dryas was minimal.
- •
Sea level rise and coastal geometry had a significant influence on the expansion of the mangrove forest ecosystem.
- •
Mangrove colonization kept pace with sea level rise, while ITCZ-driven precipitation changes were beneficial for mangroves.
- •
Holocene orbital forcing of precipitation also influenced the composition and canopy structure of Central American forests.
