[1] We related tree ring width (TRW) and isotopic composition (δ13C, δ18O) of wood and cellulose from four larch trees (Larixcajanderi Mayr.) to climate parameters. The material was sampled in northeastern Yakutia [70°N–148°E] for the recent (AD 1880–2004) and early Medieval (AD 900–1000) periods. During the recent period June, July, and August air temperatures were positively correlated with δ13C and δ18O of wood and cellulose, while July precipitation was negatively correlated. Furthermore, the vapor pressure deficit (VPD) of July and August was significantly correlated with δ13C of wood and cellulose, but VPD had almost no influence on δ18O. Comparative analyses between mean isotope values for the (AD 900–1000) and (AD 1880–2004) periods indicate similar ranges of climatic conditions, with the exception of the period AD 1950–2004. While isotopic ratios in cellulose are reliably related to climatic variables, during some periods those in whole wood showed even stronger relationships. Strong positive correlations between δ18O of cellulose and Greenland ice-core (GISP2) data were detected for the beginning of the Medieval period (r = 0.86; p < 0.05), indicating the reliability of isotope signals in tree rings for large-scale reconstructions.
