　　报告简介：

　　Stable carbon and oxygen isotope series from tree-ring cellulose are a frequently used proxy for paleoclimate and tree ecological studies. In tropical climates, where wood anatomical boundaries delineating annual tree rings are often unclear, they are additionally used as a proof for correct crossdating between individual tree-ring series. However, the climatic signal contained in tree-ring stable isotope series differs between climate zones: while δ¹⁸O in tree rings from temperate climates and cold high-elevation sites mirrors a temperature signal, it reflects a humidity signal in tropical climates. In tropical and monsoonal climates, the spatial representativity of tree-ring δ¹⁸O stretches over wide regions, whereas it is of more local character in the Mediterranean zone. In contrast, δ¹³C is mainly site dependent and reflects plant physiological responses to evapotranspiration demand. However, in semi-arid climates, tree-ring δ¹³C can be a good indicator for temperature conditions that determine the vapor pressure deficit of the atmosphere.

　　The lecture provides an overview of stable isotope signals in different climate zones and tree functional types and gives recommendations on sampling strategies in different research environments.
