Recent methodological advances of isotope dendroclimatology in Japan

In this talk, I would like to introduce four topics, (1) how we sample increment cores by using cordless impact wrench, (2) how to estimate the geographic origin of wood using tree-ring carbon and oxygen isotopes, (3) how to make the cellulose extraction process for tree-ring isotope analysis more efficient, and (4) how spring, summer and autumn photoassimilates are used for tree-ring formation.
