Palaeo-environmental and -climatic data for core CEN-17.4. The peat core was collected during a field campaign to the Republic of Congo in March 2014 at 01.1835°N, 017.6399°E. The core was taken with a 5 cm diameter, 50 cm long Russian-type corer in 13 overlapping sections in two parallel holes to a depth of 6.29 m. The core was sampled from the Ekolongouma peatland (part of the central Congo peatlands). The Ekolongouma peatland is ~45 km wide from east to west, occupying an interfluve ~300 m above sea level. The core was extracted for palaeo-environmental and climatic analysis and includes pollen, macro-charcoal, micro-charcoal, ICP-MS, loss-on-ignition, bulk density, bulk sediment, leaf wax and C/N data.

This dataset has been carefully reviewed and curated in accordance with PANGAEA's exceptionally high quality standards. However, due to discontinued communication from the authors' side, it did not receive the usual formal approval by the authors and therefore lacks final scientific validation.
