Tree rings serve as a natural archive for studying past climate conditions. By analyzing the tree rings, researchers can date the year the tree was growing and reconstruct past droughts, floods, and wildfires. Nitrogen is a critical element for forest ecosystems and its availability affects forest health and productivity. Climate extremes like droughts, floods, and wildfires have a significant impact on forest ecosystems and the nitrogen cycle. The use of isotopic markers, such as N15, can help understand climate change impacts on extreme weather and future climate projections. The research aims to influence public awareness and policy regarding forest conservation and climate change mitigation. Challenges include verifying the technology globally and expanding the research to explore other isotopic markers. The goal is to develop climate mitigation strategies and achieve sustainable development goals related to climate action and life on land.
