This study describes a novel approach to separate three soil carbon (C) sources by one tracer method (here C-13 natural abundance). The approach uses the temporal dynamics of the CO2 efflux from a C-3 grassland soil amended with added C-3 or C-4 slurry and/or C-3 or C-4 sugar to estimate contributions of three separate C sources (native soil, slurry, and sugar) to CO2 efflux. Soil with slurry and/or sugar was incubated under controlled conditions, and concentration and delta(13)C values of evolved CO2 were measured over a 2-week period. The main assumption needed for separation of three C sources in CO2 efflux, i.e., identical decomposition of applied C-3 and C-4 sugars in soil, was investigated and proven. The relative contribution to the CO2 efflux was higher, but shorter with an increased (microbial) availability of the C source, i.e., sugar > slurry > SOM. The shortcomings and limitations as well as possible future applications of the suggested method are discussed.
