TLDR
In this article, 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.

No growth stimulation of tropical trees by 150 years of CO2 fertilization but water-use efficiency increased

TL;DR: In this article, tree-ring data covering 150 years from tropical forests show that water-use efficiency has increased with CO2 concentrations but tree growth has not, while increasing CO2 concentration is expected to increase plant growth and water efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stable isotopes in tree rings: towards a mechanistic understanding of isotope fractionation and mixing processes from the leaves to the wood.

TL;DR: This review starts from the rather well understood processes at the leaf level such as photosynthetic carbon isotope fractionation, leaf water evaporative isotope enrichment and the issue of the isotopic composition of inorganic sources (CO2 and H2O), though it focuses on the less explored 'downstream' processes related to metabolism and transport.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drought response of five conifer species under contrasting water availability suggests high vulnerability of Norway spruce and European larch

TL;DR: If summers become drier, trees growing on mesic sites will undergo significant growth reductions, whereas at their dry distribution limit in the Alps, tree growth of the highly sensitive spruce and larch may collapse, likely inducing dieback and compromising the provision of ecosystem services.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of atmospheric CO2 concentration on carbon isotope fractionation in C3 land plants

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of pCO2 on the net isotopic discrimination (Dd 13 Cp) between plant tissue and atmospheric CO2 was investigated in both chamber and field settings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long tree‐ring chronologies reveal 20th century increases in water‐use efficiency but no enhancement of tree growth at five Iberian pine forests

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the tree growth and physiological response of five pine forest stands in relation to changes in atmospheric CO 2 concentration and climate in the Iberian Peninsula using annually resolved width and δ 13 C tree-ring chronologies since AD 1600.

On the Relationship Between Carbon Isotope Discrimination and the Intercellular Carbon Dioxide Concentration in Leaves

TL;DR: It is shown how diffusion of gaseous COz can significantly affect carbon isotopic discrimination and a simple relationship between discrimination and the ratio of the intercellular and atmospheric partial pressures of COZ is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the Average Value of Correlated Time Series, with Applications in Dendroclimatology and Hydrometeorology

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived formulas for the correlation coefficient between the average of a finite number of time series and the population average, where the subsample signal strength (SSS) and expressed population signal (EPS) were derived.

Northern Hemisphere Temperatures During the Past Millennium: Inferences, Uncertainties, and Limitations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors attempt hemispheric temperature reconstructions with proxy data networks for the past millennium, focusing not just on the reconstructions, but the uncertainties therein, and important caveats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stable isotopes in tree rings.

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

Ice core record of the 13 C/ 12 C ratio of atmospheric CO 2 in the past two centuries

TL;DR: The authors measured δ13C of CO2 separated from air trapped in bubbles in ice samples from an ice core taken at Siple Station in Antarctica, in which it has been possible to demonstrate the atmospheric increase of CO 2 and methane2 with high time resolution.
