Email 3010, July 2008: Keith Briffa rejects a paper on the problems caused by larch budmoth for climate reconstruction, but admits "no fundamental objections have been raised regarding the science"

Email 3010

from: Keith Briffa <k.briffa@uea.ac.uk>
subject: Paper submitted to Holocene
to: weidner@gfz-potsdam.de... I realise this this decision is likely to be disappointing ,
particularly as no fundamental objections have been raised regarding the science. However,
with strong pressure on space and a truly interdisciplinary audience we must take a rather
strict line on general relevance of the articles published.---

Consequences of larch budmoth outbreaks on the climate significance of ring width and
stable isotopes in larch...This is a small but interesting study on the problems caused by larch budmoth for climate
reconstruction, and the potential of stable isotopes for overcoming them.
