Abstract
⺠Trichloroacetyl-containing compounds (TCAc) and CHCl3 were detected in forest soils. ⺠TCAc are much more enriched in 13C compared to natural CHCl3 and NOM. ⺠Natural CHCl3 has a similar carbon isotope composition as NOM. ⺠The formation of CHCl3 by hydrolysis of TCAc induced large 13C-isotope fractionation. ⺠Our model confirms that TCAc are likely precursors of natural CHCl3 in soils.
