abstract = {The newly developed method allows for the first time
simultaneous and continuous measurements of the oxygen
isotope composition of H2O and CO2 along soil profiles. Its
application in the field will contribute to reducing the
uncertainties associated with soil–atmosphere CO2 oxygen
isotope fluxes.The oxygen isotope composition of atmospheric
CO2 (δ18Oac) can be used to disentangle ecosystem component
CO2 fluxes, such as soil respiration and plant assimilation,
because the δ18O composition of different water pools is
transferred to CO2 during isotopic equilibration. The oxygen
isotope exchange between CO2 and water in soils has been
widely studied with theoretical models, but experimental
data are scarce, albeit indispensable to characterization of
the role of soils in determining δ18Oac. Here, we present a
new methodology to monitor the δ18O of soil CO2 (δ18Osc)
and of soil water (δ18Osw) in situ at varying soil water
content. Infrared laser spectroscopy was combined with
gas-permeable polypropylene (PP) tubing installed at
different depths in a sand column. The permeable tubing did
not lead to any isotopic fractionation and was suitable for
combined δ18Osc and δ18Osw measurements. Soil water became
gradually 18O enriched from the top of the sand over several
days. Measured and δ18Osc simulated with the model MuSICA
indicated incomplete CO2–H2O isotopic equilibrium.
Irrigation of the sand column with tapwater resulted in a
temporary reset of δ18Osw along the soil column, while
δ18Osc was only influenced when the enzyme carbonic
anhydrase was added to the irrigation water. Our study
demonstrates that δ18Osc and δ18Osw can now be monitored
in situ and online with high time resolution with minimum
disturbance. With this new tool at hand, research into the
oxygen isotope exchange between soil water and CO2 in
natural soils has the potential to advance to a new stage
and help to constrain the atmospheric CO2 budget.},
