Carbon stable isotope-climate association in tree rings of Pinus pinaster and Pinus sylvestris in Mediterranean environments

Carbon isotope ratios, recorded as 13C/12C variations in tree rings of woody species, are the result of physiological changes related to environmental conditions. The objective of this work was to analyze the association among carbon thirteen variability (δ13C), climate variables and tree-r...

description Carbon isotope ratios, recorded as 13C/12C variations in tree rings of woody species, are the result of physiological changes related to environmental conditions.
