Abstract | We applied the high temperature pyrolysis-combustion technique to partition the total soil organic carbon (SOC) into labile and inert carbon pools for accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon (AMS C-14) dating and stable carbon isotope (C-13), SOC, and carbonate carbon (CC) content analyses to examine SOC variability at a Critical Zone Observatory site in Illinois, USA. The AMS C-14 dates of labile and inert carbon in the top 1.55 m overlap except in the Bt horizon. Below 1.55 m the labile carbon is younger by 8000-14,800 years. The SOC content decreases from 3.61% to 0.12% and CC content increases from 0% to 19.16% at this depth. Results indicate that SOC production exceeds its loss in the weathering zone causing a continuous turnover of both SOC pools. A small amount of modern SOC infiltrates into deeper sediment below 1.55 m, making the labile carbon pool much younger. Their difference of AMS C-14 contents, (FC)-C-14, reveals 3-5% more modern carbon in the labile SOC pools except in the Bt horizon, further quantifying that <3-5% modern carbon with potential pollutants is translocated into the unweathered sediments. The C-13 reveals the sources for SOC cycling dynamics in both carbon pools at this site. |
