“…4), similar to those noted within multiple previous studies (Wilson and Grinsted, 1977;Leavitt and Long, 1991;Kitagawa and Wada, 1993;Sheu et al, 1996;Barbour et al, 2002;Leavitt, 2002Leavitt, , 2007Eilmann et al, 2010). Values of Dd 13 C meas varied between 0.5 and 3.0& across all sites, with Dd 13 C meas generally increasing as the average d 13 C value for each site increased, however this relationship was not significant (R 2 = 0.40; P = 0.14, two-tailed).…”

“…Site-specific interpretations describing local climatic control over evergreen isotopic patterns have been proposed (Leavitt, 2002;Verheyden et al, 2004;Roden et al, 2009), but no relationship between climate and within-ring d 13 C patterns in evergreen wood has been developed that can be applied globally. Maximum d 13 C values in evergreen trees have been shown to correlate with a wide variety of parameters including the highest vapor-pressure deficit, highest temperatures, lowest soil moisture, or highest d 13 CO 2 values of the annual cycle (Wilson and Grinsted, 1977;Leavitt and Long, 1991;Kitagawa and Wada, 1993;Sheu et al, 1996;Barbour et al, 2002;Leavitt, 2002Leavitt, , 2007Eilmann et al, 2010;Klein et al, 2005) (Table 1).…”

Tree-ring d 13C is often interpreted in terms of intrinsic wateruse efficiency (WUE) using a carbon isotope discrimination model established at the leaf level. We examined whether intra-ring d 13C could be used to assess variations in intrinsic WUE (Wg, the ratio of carbon assimilation and stomatal conductance to water) and variations in ecosystem WUE (Wt, the ratio of C assimilation and transpiration) at a seasonal scale. Intra-ring d

“…In some cases which tree growth was limited by many climatic parameters, the δ 13 C series may be a more useful proxy than ring width and density measurements [7,8] . Promising results have been reported for both coniferous and broad-leaved species in a range of environments [9][10][11][12][13] . Stable carbon isotopes have been measured in many tree species, and between-species differences in isotope ratios and environmental signals have been reported [6,14] .…”

Climatic significance of the stable carbon isotope composition of tree-ring cellulose: Comparison of Chinese hemlock (Tsuga chinensis Pritz) and alpine pine (Pinus densata Mast) in a temperate-moist region of China

In the reconstruction of past climate using stable carbon isotope composition (δ 13 C) in tree ring, the responses of the stable carbon composition (δ 13 C) of multiple tree species to environmental factors must be known detailedly. This study presented two δ 13 C series in annual tree rings for Chinese hemlock (Tsuga chinensis Pritz) and alpine pine (Pinus densata Mast), and investigated the relationships between climatic parameters and stable carbon discrimination (Δ 13 C) series, and evaluated the potential of climatic reconstruction using Δ 13 C in both species, in a temperate-moist region of Chuanxi Plateau, China. The raw δ 13 C series of the two species was inconsistent, which may be a result of different responses caused by tree's inherent physiological differences. After removing the low-frequency effects of CO 2 concentration, the high-frequency (year-to-year) inter-series correlation of Δ 13 C was strong, indicating that Δ 13 C of the two tree species were controlled by common environmental conditions. The Δ 13 C series of the species were most significantly correlated with temperature and moisture stress, but in different periods and intensity between the species. During the physiological year, the impacts of temperature and moisture stress on Δ 13 C occur earlier for Chinese hemlock (previous December to February for moisture stress and February to April for temperature, respectively) than for alpine pine (March to May for moisture stress and April to July for temperature, respectively). In addition, in temperatemoist regions, the control on Δ 13 C of single climatic parameter was not strongly dominant and the optimal multiple regressions functions just explained the 38.5% variance of the total. Therefore, there is limited potential for using δ 13 C alone to identify clear, reliable climatic signals from two species.temperate-moist region, Chinese hemlock, Alpine pine, inter-specific δ 13 C variability, climatic significanceThe potential and reliability of palaeoclimatic reconstruction from tree-ring characteristics depends strongly on site conditions of tree growth. Results are best by using ring width or density where there is only one primary limiting factor for a given site, such as the temperature at the upper timber [1][2][3][4] . At many sites where
