Journal ArticleDOI
Mixed Temperature-Moisture Signal in δ18O Records of Boreal Conifers from the Permafrost Zone
Mikhail S. Zharkov,Marina V. Fonti,Tatyana V. Trushkina,V. V. Barinov,Anna V. Taynik,Trevor J. Porter,Matthias Saurer,Olga V. Churakova (Sidorova) +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared local and gridded air temperature, precipitation and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) data, analyzed the trends of their changes over the last century for three sites in the permafrost zone (YAK and TAY in Russia, and CAN in Canada), and estimated the effect of their variability on oxygen isotopes in the tree-ring cellulose (δ18Ocell) of three different species.
Journal ArticleDOI
In situ 13CO2 labeling reveals that alpine treeline trees allocate less photoassimilates to roots compared to low-elevation trees.
Yu Cong,Matthias Saurer,Edith Bai,Rolf T. W. Siegwolf,Arthur Gessler,Kai Liu,Hu-Dong Han,Yong-Cai Dang,Wenhua Xu,Hong S. He,Maihe Li +10 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the leaf photosynthesis and the allocation of 13C labeled photoassimilates in various tissues (leaves, twigs and fine roots) in treeline trees and low-elevation trees.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tree-ring isotopes from the Swiss Alps reveal non-climatic fingerprints of cyclic insect population outbreaks over the past 700 years
Valentina Vitali,Richard L. Peters,Marco M. Lehmann,Markus Leuenberger,Kerstin Treydte,Ulf Büntgen,Philipp Schuler,Matthias Saurer +7 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors explored a 700-year tree-ring isotope chronology from Switzerland and assessed the impact of 79 larch budmoth (LBM, Zeiraphera griseana [Hübner]) outbreaks on the growth of its host tree species, Larix decidua [Mill].
Journal ArticleDOI
High-resolution isotope analysis of tree rings.
Matthias Saurer,Elina Sahlstedt,Katja Rinne-Garmston,Marco M. Lehmann,Manuela Oettli,Arthur Gessler,Kerstin Treydte +6 more
TL;DR: In this article , the carbon isotope ratio (δ13C) of wood is analyzed using laser ablation and the results show that routine analysis with up to 100 laser shot-derived δ13c-values daily and good precision and accuracy comparable to conventional combustion in an elemental analyzer are possible.
