7 Seasonal variations in cellulose stable isotope composition linked to productivity and climate

8 Seasonal variations in cellulose stable isotope composition linked to productivity and climate
drought years Maritime pine, Les Landes Narrow rings generally associated with sharp peaks in d13C during the growing season. They also often start the growing season from a relatively enriched value. The significance of xylem hydraulic plasticity for reconstructing past environments: Kippel, May 15th – 17th 2012 8

9 thick rings no d13C spikes
Seasonal variations in cellulose stable isotope composition linked to productivity and climate drought years Maritime pine, Les Landes Relatively wet years tend to have little variation in d13C over the season and appear flat compared to drought years. The d18O signal tends to be less dramatic but nonetheless can provide clues for instance enriched values tend to indicate relatively high levels of transpiration and evaporative enrichment, for example in 2002 there is a peak at the start of the season prior to the drought and 2005 there also seems to be a strong transpiration rate. productive years thick rings no d13C spikes wet years The significance of xylem hydraulic plasticity for reconstructing past environments: Kippel, May 15th – 17th 2012 9
