Dear authors,
Thank you very much for your response to the reviewer's comments. I agree with most of the reviewer’s comments and your suggested approach to revise the manuscript.
In addition to your suggested arguments, I would add to the conclusions that testing homogenization and mixing of the tracer should be included in such tracer studies because it is quite unlikely that funding will be available for a comprehensive test of the effects of soil texture, organic matter, pore structure, microbial community dynamics and water distribution.
Best regards,
Karsten

Dear authors,
Thank you very much for the revision of your manuscript. I have just two comments / suggestions. I realized that you used two different spellings for "labelled". Please use a uniform spelling throughout the manuscript.
The sentences starting with “This similarity …” (section conclusion, lines 226-228) needs rephrasing.
Best regards,
Karsten

Dear Dominika and Reinhard,
