Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stable oxygen isotopes in tree rings are an important tool for the study of paleoclimatology. Tree ring oxygen isotopes generally exhibit much stronger correlations between trees and preserve both high- (intra-annual and annual) and low-frequency (decadal and greater) variability without prolonged juvenile or age-related trends. With a deeper understanding of oxygen isotope fractionation processes in tree rings, tree ring oxygen isotopes can be exploited to study past variations in climate, atmospheric circulation, extreme hydrological events, and forest ecology.
This Special Issue invites contributions describing new research aspects of oxygen isotopes in tree rings, such as climatic and ecological interpretations of tree ring isotope variations. Particularly welcome are studies with intra-annual or annual resolution of isotope time series, and linkages of stable isotope patterns with hydroclimatic or ecological responses to global change. This Special Issue outlines the responses of tree ring oxygen isotope variations to global change, including global warming, atmospheric pollution, atmospheric circulation, and ecological changes.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Atmosphere is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
