Stable isotopes in leaf water of terrestrial plants
Leaf water contains naturally occurring stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen in
abundances that vary spatially and temporally. When sufficiently understood, these can be …

[HTML][HTML] Severe multi-year drought coincident with Hittite collapse around 1198–1196 BC
The potential of climate change to substantially alter human history is a pressing concern,
but the specific effects of different types of climate change remain unknown. This question …

Potential of forest thinning to mitigate drought stress: A meta-analysis
Increasing frequency of extremely dry and hot summers in some regions emphasise the
need for silvicultural approaches to increase the drought tolerance of existing forests in the …

Global tree intrinsic water use efficiency is enhanced by increased atmospheric CO2 and modulated by climate and plant functional types
We conducted a meta-analysis of carbon and oxygen isotopes from tree ring chronologies
representing 34 species across 10 biomes to better understand the environmental drivers …

Tree vitality and forest health: can tree-ring stable isotopes be used as indicators?
Abstract Purpose of Review Society is concerned about the long-term condition of the
forests. Although a clear definition of forest health is still missing, to evaluate forest health …

Unenriched xylem water contribution during cellulose synthesis influenced by atmospheric demand governs the intra‐annual tree‐ring δ18O signature
The oxygen isotope composition (δ18O) of tree‐ring cellulose is used to evaluate tree

Anthropogenic warming has exacerbated droughts in southern Europe since the 1850s
Widespread and frequent droughts have affected most parts of Europe over recent years, but
it remains unclear when this synchronous drying trend began and how it has been …
