Stable isotopes in tree rings of Pinus heldreichii can indicate climate variability over the eastern Mediterranean region

A long-term context is important for understanding past climatic variability. Although tree-ring widths (TRWs) are widely used as a proxy for reconstructing past climate, the use of annually-resolved values of δ ¹³C and δ ¹⁸O tree-ring stable isotopes (TRSIs) is increasing and may provide further valuable information. Here, we present a 487-year-long TRW chronology and 240-year-long TRSI chronology for Bosnian pine (Pinus heldreichii H. Christ) and compare them to each other.

Widths and stable isotopes of Larix tree rings in a glacier-fed river basin in the Swiss Alps respond to a changing climate

Tree-rings are a valuable proxy for reconstructing past environmental conditions such as climate at annual or intra-annual resolutions. Tree-ring dating combined with stable isotope analysis (e.g. δ ¹⁸O and δ ²H) has an enormous potential for better understanding climate dynamics and for tracing freshwater resource availability under a changing climate.

Reconstructing northeastern Pacific climate variability from the annual growth increments of Pacific geoduck (David Edge PhD Defense)

Abstract: The long-term character and range of northeast Pacific climate variability is largely unknown due to the short period of instrumental record and poor agreement among existing reconstructions. To address this issue, a multi-centennial record of northeast Pacific climate is developed from a new archive, the Pacific geoduck, a long-lived marine bivalve known to form annual growth increments within its shell.
