Stable isotope ratios of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen in tree cellulose have been recently demonstrated as potential indicators of past climate, However, a number of problems remain to be solved before isotope dendroclimatology can be used for routine reconstruction of palaeoclimate. Here we review the existing Literature, with a special reference to the Indian context and identify key problems that deserve immediate attention.

Abstract


Stable isotope ratios of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen in tree cellulose have been recently demonstrated as potential indicators of past climate, However, a number of problems remain to be solved before isotope dendroclimatology can be used for routine reconstruction of palaeoclimate. Here we review the existing Literature, with a special reference to the Indian context and identify key problems that deserve immediate attention.
