Interactive comment on “A deeper look at the relationship between root carbon pools and the vertical distribution of the soil carbon pool” by Ranae Dietzel et al

A note upfront from the submitting person: This review was prepared by Nadja Huber and Mirjam Mächler, both master students in geography at the University of Zurich. The review was part of an exercise during a second semester master level seminar on “the biogeochemistry of plant-soil systems in a changing world”, which I organize. We would like to highlight that the depth of scientific knowledge and technical understanding of these reviewers represents that of master students. We enjoyed discussing the manuscript in the seminar, and hope that our comments will be helpful for the authors.
