      abstract     = {This paper examines tree-ring width and δ13C chronologies
                      from a network of five Iberian pine forests to determine
                      their sensitivity to climate variability under different
                      site conditions. Interseries comparisons revealed better and
                      more homogenous agreement among δ13C records than among
                      tree-ring width series of the different sites. This suggests
                      that δ13C ratios may preferentially record large-scale
                      climatic signals, whereas ring-width variations may reflect
                      more local factors. A negative relationship was found
                      between ring-width and δ13C. As inferred from response
                      function analyses, ring-width and δ13C showed significant
                      relationships with climate. The analyses of different sites
                      and species revealed unshared tree-ring width responses to
                      summer temperature and precipitation, whereas all δ13C
                      series were highly sensitive to current year summer
                      precipitation and, to a lesser extent, to current summer
                      temperature. A strong summer precipitation signal seems to
                      dominate the δ13C of trees growing under Mediterranean
                      climate, even when the mean climatic site conditions do not
                      indicate distinct summer drought. Therefore, δ13C values
                      reflect precipitation variability during the summer season
                      better than tree-ring widths. This demonstrates that δ13C
                      from tree-rings can be a very useful tool for climatic
                      reconstruction in the Mediterranean region, especially when
                      climate-growth relationships are weak.},
