Drought induced tree mortality - a tree-ring isotope based conceptual model to assess mechanisms and predispositions.

TL;DR: A conspecific synchronic comparison of growth and tree ring isotopic signals between later dying and surviving trees over longer time periods from the same stand aiming at understanding mortality mechanisms and the respective predisposition in a given environmental context is chosen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of δ18O in tree rings: Wood‐cellulose comparison and method dependent sensitivity

TL;DR: In this article, the tree ring δ18O time series of wood and cellulose from an oak of the Swiss “Mittelland” are compared with an on-line method based on pyrolysis in an elemental analyzer, and the best reproducibility associated with this method is better than 0.1
Journal ArticleDOI

Temporal stability of climate‐isotope relationships in tree rings of oak and pine (Ticino, Switzerland)

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between tree ring isotopes and climate was found to be temporally unstable and characterized by shifts in correlation sign and strength, and tree ring d 13 C reflects local climatic conditions while d 18 O is influenced by large scale synoptic circulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial patterns of climatic changes in the Eurasian north reflected in Siberian larch tree‐ring parameters and stable isotopes

TL;DR: In this article, a spatial description of climatic changes along circumpolar regions is presented based on larch tree-ring width (TRW) index, latewood density (MXD), δ13C, δ18O of whole wood and cellulose chronologies from eastern Taimyr (TAY) and north-eastern Yakutia (YAK), Russia, for the period 1900-2006, in comparison with a δ 13C cellulose and Greenland (GISP2) record from Greenland.
