Overview

This analysis reveals consistent α-cellulose isotopic stability in trees, suggesting reliable paleoclimate reconstructions in the Alps.

Key Points

  • α-cellulose content remains stable over millennia in alpine trees, indicating preservation support for studies.
  • Measurements indicate no significant decay impact on α-cellulose isotopes, enhancing the reliability of relict wood analysis.
  • Preservation context and wood type were found to influence α-cellulose composition, crucial for isotopic stability.
  • Findings support using relict wood for global carbon cycle model improvements, beneficial for climate research.
