Young trees have the potential to improve climate reconstruction

What is it about?

How do tree-ring stable carbon and oxygen isotopes from different age groups respond to climate change? This study reveals that the stable carbon isotope from young trees have a large response to relative humidity variability, as a result, the stable carbon isotope from young trees have the potential to improve the relative humidity reconstruction. The study also explores the potential reasons of different climatic responses of stable carbon and oxygen isotope from different age groups.
