The proportional allocation of photosynthetically fixed carbon to the root and shoot system of salt marsh plants is an important element in the carbon cycle of tidal salt marshes. The commonly applied field methods giving insight on this point are based on successive harvesting of biomass. These methods, however, lack accuracy and do not yield reliable data over short time intervals. In the present study, the stable carbon isotope C-13 was used as a tracer of carbon flow in Spartina anglica. Shoot clusters of this halophyte were incubated with (CO2)-C-13 (ca 1 h) in a salt marsh in the SW Netherlands. Four days after the incubations, shoots and roots/rhizomes were sampled to determine enrichment with the heavy isotope. Although S. anglica i...
