| Abstract | Although not stated explicitly, the assumption is made that gas fluxes and soil carbon stocks would be exactly the same at both sites today, if one of them had not been converted to a poplar plantation. Therefore, differences between both sites found today are fully attributed to their different land use during the past 40 years. I find this the most problematic aspect of the paper. At the scale of transects at each site, large spatial variability has been identified in terms of gas fluxes and soil properties. Thus, why should variability at the scale of distance between both sites (>1000 m) not be even larger than at transect-scale (100 m)? In fact, I think it might be large enough to |
