Abstract: Highlights: [•] Most subsurface CO2 monitoring lacks long-term data. [•] Tree rings records from Caldera Latera (Italy) provide biomonitoring data. [•] We use 14C concentration in tree rings to detect CO2 outgassing. [•] Natural permanent CO2 leakage does not influence oak growth patterns. [•] Decadal variations in caldera CO2 outgassing rate are demonstrated. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
