No increase is detected and modeled for the seasonal cycle amplitude of <i>δ</i>¹³C of atmospheric carbon dioxide by F. Joos, F. Joos, S. Lienert, S. Lienert, S. Zaehle

“…Unlike the observed growth of the seasonal amplitude of CO<span class="inline-formula">₂</span> at northern sites, no significant temporal trend in the seasonal amplitude of <span class="inline-formula"><i>δ</i>¹³</span>C<span class="inline-formula">_a</span> was detected at most sites, consistent with the insignificant model trends. Comparing the preindustrial (1700) and modern (1982–2012) periods, the modeled small-amplitude changes at northern sites are linked to the near-equal increase in background atmospheric CO<span class="inline-formula">₂</span> and the seasonal signal of the net atmosphere–land <span class="inline-formula"><i>δ</i>¹³</span>C flux in the northern extratropical region, with no long-term temporal changes in the isotopic fractionation in these ecosystems dominated by C<span class="inline-formula">₃</span> plants. …”
