Sample preparation of ring-less tropical trees for δ18O measurement in isotope dendrochronology
Open accessAbstract
Radial variation of δ18O before and after cellulose extraction was assessed in Acacia auriculiformis, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, and Celtis timorensis growing in northeastern Thailand to examine the necessity of extracting α-cellulose to detect annual rings from trees without visible rings. Optimum sampling resolution to detect peaks in the radial variation of δ18O values was also examined. Cored samples were sectioned into 0.2mm thickness in the radial direction. Each circular section sliced from a wood core sample were divided along wood grain into two semicircular sections, both of which were located at the same radial and longitudinal positions, and were side-by-side tangentially. One half was used for bulk analysis and the other for extraction. Peak positions were assigned from the seasonal variation of δ18O. The δ18O values cyclically changed in both bulk wood and α-cellulose. The correlation coefficient between bulk wood and α-cellulose δ18O was high in every species, and the offset was almost constant across the radial position. The mean cycle length of one sample was longer than those of the other two samples, although annual increment based on dendrometer monitoring was smaller than those of the other two samples. That is, the seasonal variation in δ18O values recorded in the xylem was not completely detected because of low amplitude or insufficient radial resolution. Therefore, we concluded that α-cellulose extraction is unnecessary for annual ring detection. It is necessary to determine an appropriate sampling resolution based on growth rate for effective peak detection.

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.
