Carbon‐13 input and turn‐over in a pasture soil exposed to long‐term elevated atmospheric CO2

The impact of elevated CO2 and N‐fertilization on soil C‐cycling in Lolium perenne and Trifolium repens pastures were investigated under Free Air Carbon dioxide Enrichment (FACE) conditions. For six years, swards were exposed to ambient or elevated CO2 (35 and 60 Pa pCO2) and received a low and high rate of N fertilizer. The CO2 added in the FACE plots was depleted in 13C compared to ambient (Δ−  40‰) thus the C inputs could be quantified.
