Abstract
The δD time series for seven trees from six locations in North America were analyzed and compared with the regional temperature and precipitation records. Correlations between the δD and temperature are found to be particularly good for low-frequency variations or long-term trends. Trees from locations with simple climate regimes and flat topography are potentially good temperature recorders. The moisture-dependent effect on the δD values of tree cellulose is only evident for the δD record of a valley oak collected from an arid valley near Los Angeles, California, USA. In such an arid environment, the correlation between δD and temperature may be poor due to limited number of rainy days during a year and the strong effect of the amount of precipitation on the δD values of trees.
