Abstract
- As an important indicator of atmospheric aridity, the vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is being paid increasing attention in global change researches during recent decades. However, available proxy data with the capability to represent VPD is still scarce in the globe. Herein we demonstrated a “hidden” frequency-dependent indication of tree-ring cellulose oxygen isotope (δ18OTRC) to atmospheric aridity in the western Kunlun Mountains, Central Asia. In applying correlation and partial correlation analysis, frequency-dependent climatic drivers triggering the δ18OTRC values were detected. For the raw data with inter-decadal variability, δ18OTRC variations mainly indicated May–August precipitation (Local: r = –0.59, p
