abstract = {The oxygen isotope signature of CO2 (δ18O-CO2) enables
partitioning the carbon gross fluxes of terrestrial
ecosystems related to soil respiration and plant
assimilation, as CO2 attains a distinct δ18O value during
equilibration with 18O-depleted soil water and 18O-enriched
leaf water, respectively. However, the interpretation of the
measured δ18O-CO2 from soils is still challenging because
the signal is influenced by different parameters, e.g. the
δ18O of soil water (δ18O-H2O), CO2-H2O equilibration rate
(depending on soil moisture, soil porosity and tortuosity as
well as the catalytic activity of carbonic anhydrase), and
soil physical properties which may vary in time and space.
Furthermore, the contribution of additional factors, e.g.
respiration by plant roots, is largely unknown. In our
study, we measure the 18O-exchange between soil water and
CO2 on-line within soil columns filled with well
characterized medium sand and local soil material,
respectively. Gas-permeable microporous polypropylene tubing
is installed at different depths in the soil columns and
purged with zero air at a low flow rate. The δ18O of CO2
and water vapor, which is transported from the soil into the
tubing, is monitored simultaneously by laser-based
spectroscopy. The isotopic signature of water vapor is then
used to infer δ18O-H2O, using well-established calibration
equations, and, together with the δ18O-CO2, the degree of
18O exchange between soil water and CO2 as well as CO2
diffusion through the different soil layers. We expect that
(i) variations in δ18O-H2O, soil water content, and soil
physical properties such as porosity, (ii) changes in
carbonic anhydrase activity, and (iii), depending on the
rate of CO2-H2O equilibration, respiration by plant roots
will be reflected in the δ18O-CO2. This new methodology
represents a promising tool to measure stable isotope fluxes
between soil and atmosphere in situ. It could provide useful
information for an improved parameterization of models
simulating the δ18O of soil CO2 fluxes, including CO2
invasion from the atmosphere into the soil.},
