  • First Online:
Scheffer/Schachtschabel Lehrbuch der Bodenkunde

Zusammenfassung

Die Masse der organischen Bodensubstanz macht in den meisten Oberböden nur wenige Prozentanteile aus, hat aber entscheidenden Einfluss auf alle Bodenfunktionen und spielt eine zentrale Rolle im globalen Kreislauf des Kohlenstoffs. Der Kohlenstoffgehalt bzw. der Schwarzanteil der Bodenfarbe sind daher ein differenzierendes Kriterium bei der Profilansprache in der deutschen und in internationalen Klassifikationen.
