Dear Dr Nakatsuka
Thank you for the responses to the reviewers comments. As you note there is some disagreement between the two reviewers, where #2 suggests rejection. However, based on the novelty of the data from this region, I will give you the opportunity to revise the manuscript. In the revision process, please make sure to attend to the issues raised by ref #2, including the potential impact of disturbed growth environments of the trees since this may have an impact on the final reconstruction. Personally, I would also like to see some more information of the dating of the individual species, such as how the TRW data was dated (against what data), and what method was used to date the isotopes. In general, I think it is good not to hide the limitations of your study, as this information will be very helpful for further research.
Good luck with the revision, I look forward to the next version
Regards
Hans

Dear Dr Nakatsuka and co-authors
The reviewers reports are now in, and as you can see, they are both positive and suggest that your manuscript should be published. I agree, so well done. I will be happy to accept your work subsequent to you having gone through it again focusing on the English. Also. you mention figure S1 etc, but have included figures A1-3, so please be consistent. I'm looking forward to seeing the final version shortly.
Best regards
Hans
