abstract = {The terrestrial carbon (C) cycle has received increasing
interest over the past few decades, however, there is still
a lack of understanding of the fate of newly assimilated C
allocated within plants and to the soil, stored within
ecosystems and lost to the atmosphere. Stable carbon isotope
studies can give novel insights into these issues. In this
review we provide an overview of an emerging picture of
plant-soil-atmosphere C fluxes, as based on C isotope
studies, and identify processes determining related C
isotope signatures. The first part of the review focuses on
isotopic fractionation processes within plants during and
after photosynthesis. The second major part elaborates on
plant-internal and plant-rhizosphere C allocation patterns
at different time scales (diel, seasonal, interannual),
including the speed of C transfer and time lags in the
coupling of assimilation and respiration, as well as the
magnitude and controls of plant-soil C allocation and
respiratory fluxes. Plant responses to changing
environmental conditions, the functional relationship
between the physiological and phenological status of plants
and C transfer, and interactions between C, water and
nutrient dynamics are discussed. The role of the C
counterflow from the rhizosphere to the aboveground parts of
the plants, e. g. via CO2 dissolved in the xylem water or as
xylem-transported sugars, is highlighted. The third part is
centered around belowground C turnover, focusing especially
on above-and belowground litter inputs, soil organic matter
formation and turnover, production and loss of dissolved
organic C, soil respiration and CO2 fixation by soil
microbes. Furthermore, plant controls on microbial
communities and activity via exudates and litter production
as well as microbial community effects on C mineralization
are reviewed. A further part of the paper is dedicated to
physical interactions between soil CO2 and the soil matrix,
such as CO2 diffusion and dissolution processes within the
soil profile. Finally, we highlight state-of-the-art stable
isotope methodologies and their latest developments. From
the presented evidence we conclude that there exists a tight
coupling of physical, chemical and biological processes
involved in C cycling and C isotope fluxes in the
plant-soil-atmosphere system. Generally, research using
information from C isotopes allows an integrated view of the
different processes involved. However, complex interactions
among the range of processes complicate or currently impede
the interpretation of isotopic signals in CO2 or organic
compounds at the plant and ecosystem level. This review
tries to identify present knowledge gaps in correctly
interpreting carbon stable isotope signals in the
plant-soil-atmosphere system and how future research
approaches could contribute to closing these gaps.},
