The importance of the stable isotopes in tree rings for the study of the climate variations caused by volcanic eruptions is still unclear. We studied δ 18 O, δD, δ 13 C stable isotopes of larch and cembran pine cellulose around four major eruptions with annual resolution, along with a superposed epo...
