Interactive comment on “Assessing ecohydrological separation in a northern mixed forest biome using stable isotopes” by Jenna R. Snelgrove et al

Reviewer 2 The authors studied the isotopic dynamics in gross precipitation, bulk soil water, mobile soil water and xylem water of four tree species, observed in a northern mixed forest (Ontario, Canada) during the growing season 2016. They put their results in context with the two water worlds / ecohydrological separation hypothesis. The manuscript presents a well carried out study and shows a nice data set. The study fits well within the scope of HESS, however, it needs some revision. In particular, the discussion is too long and could benefit from trimming and condensing. The discussion
