A tree-ring d18O chronology for the period 1828–2000 was developed from four Pinus merkusii trees, to find a reliable proxy for reconstructing precipitation in northwest Thailand. Inter-tree d18O correlations were high during the entire period (r = 0.57–0.79). The tree-ring d18O chronology shows sig...
