ABSTRACT
In temperate regions trees typically exhibit growth sensitivity to climatic conditions during the growth season. Annual tree ring growth increments correlate with a variety of environmental factors. As an index of water use efficiency, δ13C is a preferred proxy to allow accurate interpretation of environmental factors critical for the tree growth, including changes in climate patterns, variation in the ambient temperature and precipitation. We assumed that isotopic differences within individual tree rings are likely to produce seasonal isotope fluctuations in the chronology that might be interpreted as response to environmental impacts. To verify the assumption, we measured δ13C in annual tree rings of Pinus Sylvestris L. split into 13 intra-annual segments each and checked δ13C correlations with temperature, precipitation, the number of sunshine hours and relative air humidity. For the investigation, we chose a site in north-eastern Lithuania, Zarasai, located in boreal latitude and remote from industrial pollution sources. The methodology of the research was based on high coherence of δ13C chronologies measured in the whole wood and α-cellulose extracted by means of two different methods. The experiment produced strong δ13C correlations with hydrometeorological parameters, especially in the earlywood formed in June
