Secular DCF variation is expected and numerous studies have indicated abrupt short-term variations related to climate change, but relative shifts are difficult to predict.
“Secular DCF variation is expected and numerous studies have indicated abrupt short-term variations related to climate change (e.g. Oster et al. 2010; Rudzka et al. 2011; Lechleitner et al. 2016), but the relative shifts are difficult to predict.”
From The IntCal20 Northern Hemisphere Radiocarbon Age Calibration Curve (0–55 cal kBP) (2020) · cites this paper as Lechleitner et al. 2016
The Introduction (page not provided) reports that significant short-term DCF changes can occur, especially during climatic extremes, and that DCF variation can be difficult to account for. The Conclusions and Section 5.3 describe hydrologically influenced DCF changes with a variable lag, supporting uncertainty about how shifts unfold. The paper does not establish that secular DCF variation is expected; the Introduction notes that DCF can instead remain relatively constant over long periods. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
