Determination of carbon isotope (δ13C) values of tree-ring tissue is a well-established method to reconstruct past climate variability at annual resolution, but such records are limited in tropical latitudes due to the lack of well-defined annual growth bands. Recent work has demonstrated the potential for high-resolution, intra-ring δ13C records to help define ring boundaries in tropical environments and provide additional climate information at sub-annual resolution. Here we present a high-resolution, intra-ring carbon isotope (δ13C) record of the Hawaiian endemic species Sophora chrysophylla(also known as “māmane”) in order to assess the ability to extract seasonal climate information from these drought tolerant...
Final Report for Reconstructing past Hawaiian precipitation using stable carbon isotope analysis of Māmane trees
thumbnail
Several cut disks and tree cores of Mamane trees growing on Hawaii Island that were subsampled and analyzed for carbon isotope determination. Isotope determination is at the 100µm resolution; tree samples are within an area of ~100 km2.
