Short-term natural &delta;<sup>13</sup>C and &delta;<sup>18</sup>O variations in pools and fluxes in a beech forest: the transfer of isotopic signal from recent photosynthates to soil respired CO<sub>2</sub>

The fate of photosynthetic products within the plant-soil continuum determines how long the reduced carbon resides within the ecosystem and when it returns back to the atmosphere in the form of respiratory CO<sub>2</sub>. We have tested the possibility of measuring natural variation in &...
