Journal ArticleDOI
Stable isotopes in tree rings.
Danny McCarroll,Neil J. Loader +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of isotope dendroclimatology, explaining the underlying theory and describing the steps taken in building and interpreting isotope chronologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
An improved technique for the batch processing of small wholewood samples to α-cellulose
TL;DR: In this paper, a modified technique for the extraction of α-cellulose from wood samples is presented, using an ultrasonic bath and small Soxhlet thimbles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water-use efficiency and transpiration across European forests during the Anthropocene

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used long-term δ13C tree-ring measurements across a European forest network to reconstruct the physiologically driven response of intercellular CO2 caused by atmospheric CO2 (Ca) trends.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of stable carbon isotope ratios in the whole wood, cellulose and lignin of oak tree-rings
TL;DR: The stable carbon isotope ratios (δ13C) of whole wood, cellulose and acid-insoluble lignin from annual latewood increments of Quercus robur L, from modern and sub-fossil wood, were measured and their potential use as palaeoenvironmental indicators examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correction of tree ring stable carbon isotope chronologies for changes in the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere
Danny McCarroll,Mary Gagen,Neil J. Loader,Iain Robertson,Kevin J. Anchukaitis,Sietse O. Los,Giles H.F. Young,Risto Jalkanen,Andreas Kirchhefer,John S. Waterhouse +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a correction procedure that attempts to calculate the δ13C values that would have been obtained under pre-industrial conditions using nonlinear regression, but the magnitude of the adjustment made is restricted by two logical constraints based on the physiological response of trees.
