Abstract
A series of carbon-14 measurements of 18th- and 19-century wood revealed an excellent correlation between the variations in carbon-14 content and average sunspot activity. It seems probable, therefore, that the predominant cause of the short-term fluctuations in carbon-14 activity is the variability of solar activity.Keywords
