Abstract

Temperate ecosystems are susceptible to drought events. The effect of a severe drought (104 days) followed by irrigation on the plant C uptake, its assimilation and input of C in soil were examined using a triple ¹³CO₂ pulse-chase labelling experiment in model grassland and heathland ecosystems. First ¹³CO₂ pulse at day 0 of the experiment revealed much higher ¹³C tracer uptake for shoots, roots and soil compared to the second pulse (day 44), where all plants showed significantly lower ¹³C tracer uptake. After the third ¹³CO₂ pulse (day 70), very low ¹³C uptake in shoots led to anegligible allocation of ¹³C into roots and soil. During irrigation after the severe drought, the ¹³C tracer that was allocated in plant tissues during the second and third pulse labelling was reallocated in roots and soil, as soon as the irrigation started. This re-allocation was higher and longer lasting in heathland compared to grassland ecosystems.
