Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the unique attempt to combine current knowledge of theoretical and experimental plant physiological causes of isotope fractionations with the most recent understanding of the natural variability of isotopes in tree rings. Based on these fundamentals the application of tree-ring isotopes to climate and palaeoclimte studies is discussed including problems of ongoing pollution effects which complicate calibration studies. Since many investigations require large numbers of samples sampling strategies are addressed carefully in order not to lose any options for later analyses. A final chapter on recent technological developments in the treatment and measurement of isotopes completes the book.

Download or read book Stable Isotopes in Tree Rings written by Rolf T. W. Siegwolf and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022 with total page 775 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Open Access volume highlights how tree ring stable isotopes have been used to address a range of environmental issues from paleoclimatology to forest management, and anthropogenic impacts on forest growth. It will further evaluate weaknesses and strengths of isotope applications in tree rings. In contrast to older tree ring studies, which predominantly applied a pure statistical approach this book will focus on physiological mechanisms that influence isotopic signals and reflect environmental impacts. Focusing on connections between physiological responses and drivers of isotope variation will also clarify why environmental impacts are not linearly reflected in isotope ratios and tree ring widths. This volume will be of interest to any researcher and educator who uses tree rings (and other organic matter proxies) to reconstruct paleoclimate as well as to understand contemporary functional processes and anthropogenic influences on native ecosystems. The use of stable isotopes in biogeochemical studies has expanded greatly in recent years, making this volume a valuable resource to a growing and vibrant community of researchers.

Download or read book A Stable Isotope Approach to Neotropical Cloud Forest Paleoclimatology written by Kevin John Anchukaitis and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many tropical trees do not form reliable annual growth rings, making it a challenge to develop tree-ring width chronologies for application to paleoclimatology in these regions. Here, I seek to establish high-resolution proxy climate records from trees without rings from the Monteverde Cloud Forest in Costa Rica using stable isotope dendroclimatology. Neotropical cloud forest ecosystems are associated with a relatively narrow range of geographic and hydroclimatic conditions, and are potentially sensitive to climate variability and change at time scales from annual to centennial and longer.

This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twentieth-century warming is accompanied by an altering temporal and spatial distribution of precipitation. Such hydrologic changes can affect human well-being and ecosystem dynamics more strongly than the rising future temperature itself. However, while the past, present and projected rates of regional to global temperature have been extensively investigated, only little is known about past changes in precipitation variability and the impacts on the hydrological cycle. To overcome some of these restrictions and limitations, this thesis involved the compilation of a carbon and an oxygen record from European larch (Larix decidua Mill.) in the Swiss Alps, the currently longest available tree-ring isotope chronologies in Europe. With these two isotope chronologies, the following objectives were addressed: (i) to identify the dominating climate signal in carbon and oxygen isotopes, (ii) to assess any potential biological biases, and (iii) to reconstruct long-term hydro-climate variability from stable isotopes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A top priority in climate research is obtaining broad-extent and long-term data to support analyses of historical patterns and trends, and for model development and evaluation. Along with directly measured climate data from the present and recent past, it is important to obtain estimates of long past climate variations spanning multiple centuries and millennia. These longer time perspectives are needed for assessing the unusualness of recent climate changes, as well as for providing insight on the range, variation and overall dynamics of the climate system over time spans exceeding available records from instruments, such as rain gauges and thermometers. Tree rings have become increasingly valuable in providing this long-term information because extensive data networks have been developed in temperate and boreal zones of the Earth, and quantitative methods for analyzing these data have advanced. Tree rings are among the most useful paleoclimate information sources available because they provide a high degree of chronological accuracy, high replication, and extensive spatial coverage spanning recent centuries. With the expansion and extension of tree-ring data and analytical capacity new climatic insights from tree rings are being used in a variety of applications, including for interpretation of past changes in ecosystems and human societies. This volume presents an overview of the current state of dendroclimatology, its contributions over the last 30 years, and its future potential. The material included is useful not only to those who generate tree-ring records of past climate-dendroclimatologists, but also to users of their results-climatologists, hydrologists, ecologists and archeologists. ‘With the pressing climatic questions of the 21st century demanding a deeper understanding of the climate system and our impact upon it, this thoughtful volume comes at critical moment. It will be of fundamental importance in not only guiding researchers, but in educating scientists and the interested lay person on the both incredible power and potential pitfalls of reconstructing climate using tree-ring analysis.’, Glen M. MacDonald, UCLA Institute of the Environment, CA, USA ‘This is an up-to-date treatment of all branches of tree-ring science, by the world’s experts in the field, reminding us that tree rings are the most important source of proxy data on climate change. Should be read by all budding dendrochronology scientists.’, Alan Robock, Rutgers University, NJ, USA

Book excerpt: The tropical warm pool waters surrounding Indonesia are one of the equatorial heat and moisture sources that are considered as a driving force of the global climate system. The climate in Indonesia is dominated by the equatorial monsoon system, and has been linked to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events, which often result in severe droughts or floods over Indonesia with profound societal and economic impacts on the populations living in the world's fourth most populated country. The latest IPCC report states that ENSO will remain the dominant mode in the tropical Pacific with global effects in the 21st century and ENSO-related precipitation extremes will intensify. However, no common agreement exists among climate simulation models for projected change in ENSO and the Australian-Indonesian Monsoon. Exploring high-resolution palaeoclimate archives, like tree rings or varved lake sediments, provide insights into the natural climate variability of the past, and thus helps improving and validating simulations of future climate chan ...

Download or read book Stable Isotopes in the Spines of Columnar Cactus: a New Proxy for Climate and Ecophysiological Research written by Nathanael Talman Brooks-English and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are relatively few annually resolved climate proxies in arid and semi-arid regions. Columnar cactuses are common in these regions and the stable isotopes of carbon and oxygen in durable spines record variations in rainfall, humidity and ecophysiology as they grow in series along the sides of cactuses. Despite their spines, columnar cactuses provide important ecosystem resources and services in drought prone areas, however, the impact that long-term climate variability and infrequent storms (El Niño or tropical storms) have on the ecology and ecophysiology of columnar cactus is less clear. Stable isotopes in trees and corals serve as useful proxies of climate and ecophysiological information, but for cactus we lack the most rudimentary information about the isotopic systems and their links to the environment. Here, we present an isotopic framework that begins with developing semi-empirical mechanistic models of & delta;13C, & delta;18O and & delta;2H variation in saguaro cactuses that link physical and physiological fractionation factors in stem water and spines to rainfall and humidity. We also review a novel method for determining the age of spines, an important step in developing useful chronologies of isotopic variation in spines. The mechanistic models combined with local climate records enhance our understanding of isotopic variation in daily and annually dated spine & delta;13C and & delta;18O records and explain the statistical association of & delta;13C and & delta;18O in spines with rainfall, vapor pressure deficit, and El Niño enhanced winter rains. While there are still some challenges to overcome, we expect that isotopic spine series will be used as climate proxies to answer questions regarding regional climate variability or to enhance current models of past and future climates. Likewise, ecophysiologists can use the isotopic spine series in conjunction with gas exchange or carbohydrate studies to look at reproductive or biological responses to changing environments.
