Stable Isotopes in Tree Rings: Inferring Physiological, Climatic and Environmental Responses explores how stable isotope analysis of tree rings can reveal insights into past environmental conditions, plant physiology, and climate change. This comprehensive volume covers methodologies, theoretical foundations, and applications of isotopic data in dendrochronology, providing a critical tool for ecologists, climate scientists, and environmental researchers.
Key Points:
Examines the role of stable isotopes (carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen) in tree-ring studies.
Links isotopic variation to plant physiological processes and environmental factors.
Explores applications in reconstructing historical climates and ecosystems.
Discusses methodological advances in isotope analysis and data interpretation.
Ideal reference for researchers in dendrochronology, ecology, forestry, and climate science.
