Variations of stable isotopes ratios in tree rings are indicators of climate fluctuations. The current study examines the relationships between precipitation and temperature variations and stable oxygen isotopes ratios (δ18O) of the last 50 years in cellulose extracted from growth rings of Juniperus...
