“…In addition, Loader, Robertson & McCarroll (2003) found that bulk wood is a better climate proxy than a-cellulose. A high correlation between the d 13 C value of a-cellulose and bulk wood, based on a seasonal (earlywood/latewood) resolution, was also shown for R. mucronata (Verheyden et al 2005). The similarity of bulk wood and a-cellulose has also been observed for stable oxygen isotopes (Borella et al 1999;Saurer et al 2000).…”

“…Low-resolution (seasonal) samples were obtained for the 10 most recent annual rings of sample Tw55891 for comparison with the data obtained from the high-resolution samples. Earlywood and latewood of each year were carefully separated over the whole circumference of the stem disc and homogenized using a modified coffee mill (see Verheyden et al 2005).…”

In the present study, the high-resolution stable carbon ( 13 C/ 12 C) and oxygen ( 18 O/ 16 O) isotope ratio profiles in the wood of the mangrove Rhizophora mucronata Lam., a tropical tree species lacking distinct growth rings, were investigated. Variations of both isotope ratios revealed a remarkable annual cyclicity with lowest values occurring at the latewood/earlywood boundary (April-May) and highest values during the transition from earlywood to latewood (October-November). Based on the current knowledge of the physiology of this mangrove species, as well as on the current literature available on high-resolution profiles of stable isotope ratios in tree rings, possible driving forces responsible for this seasonal pattern are discussed. The annual cyclicity, together with a conspicuous isotope pattern appearing in the El-Niño year 1997, promises great potential for tropical dendrochronology.

“…In our analysis, these thin cross-sections were extracted to purify α-cellulose. Although using whole wood (bulk wood) for isotopic analyses is reportedly acceptable, uncertainties regarding the analysis of whole wood remain (Loader et al 2003;Ferrio and Voltas 2005;Verheyden et al 2005b), especially for analysis at intra-annual scales. In addition, a recent advance has allowed the extraction of α-cellulose directly from cross-sectional laths before the subdivision of tree rings (Li et al 2011;Xu et al 2011;Kagawa et al 2015).…”

in Manaus. However, the δ 18 O wc patterns of E. coriacea differed by region. The ages of some samples estimated from the δ 18O wc cycles were offset from the ages estimated by 14 C dating. In the case of E. coriacea, this phenomenon suggested that missing or wedging rings may occur frequently even in well-grown individuals. Successful cross-dating may be facilitated by establishing δ 18 O wc master chronologies at both seasonal and inter-annual scales for tree species with distinct annual rings in each region.

“…Extractives, such as wood resins and oils, but also glue, pencil and chalk remains were removed from the wood with boiling deionized water and ethanol in a multiple sample isolation system for solids (Wieloch et al, 2011). Recent research has shown that the cellulose extraction is not as crucial as previously thought 30-40 years ago (Borella et al, 1998;McCarroll and Loader, 2004;Taylor et al, 2008;Verheyden et al, 2005). Hence, resin extracted wood material was used instead of cellulose due to some very narrow rings which would not have provided sufficient amounts of cellulose for conventional online Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer (IRMS) determination of  13 C and …”

Climatic hazards, such as severe droughts and floods, affect extensive areas across monsoon Asia and can have profound impacts on the populations of that region. The area surrounding Indonesia, including large portions of the eastern Indian Ocean and Java Sea, plays a key role in the global climate system because of the enormous heat and moisture exchange that occurs between the ocean and atmosphere there. Here, we evaluate the influence of rainfall variability on multiple treering parameters of teak (Tectona grandis) trees growing in a lowland rain forest in Central Java (Indonesia). We assess the potential of, annually resolved, tree-ring width, stable carbon ( 13 C) and oxygen ( 18 O) isotope records to improve our understanding of the Asian monsoon variability.Climate response analysis with regional, monthly rainfall data reveals that all three tree-ring parameters are significantly correlated to rainfall, albeit during different monsoon seasons. Precipitation in the beginning of the rainy season (Sep-Nov) is important for tree-ring width, confirming previous studies. Compared to ring width, the stable isotope records possess a higher degree of common signal, especially during portions of the peak rainy season (
