Picture: The photograph shows a round tall metal tray on a laboratory bench containing twenty-one cylindrical small glass or plastic containers with white screw caps. The containers are filled with soil samples. Next to the containers in the tray is a slip of paper with the word "unground" handwritten on it.

Soils and organisms living in soil contribute to the functioning of ecosystems with a wide range of essential services. They play, for example, a crucial role in carbon and nutrient cycling, form the habitat for soil organisms and determine plant nutrition. Soil properties can therefore influence species diversity, and vice versa species composition drive biogeochemical processes in soil. The response of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning to land use and management intensification will therefore depend on the interplay between abiotic soil properties, soil- and aboveground organisms. The core project soil provides crucial basic information on the abiotic soil environment, and observes and monitors soil functions. We have a special focus on soil organic matter formation, storage and turnover, due to its central role for soil fertility, climate change mitigation and adaptation.


  • Baseline characterization of soils and determination of abiotic soil properties in the Biodiversity Exploratories
  • Determination of soil functions related to carbon and nutrient cycling
  • Determination of litter fall and litter quality in forests

All core projects provide important basic information on land use, diversity and ecosystem processes (long-term monitoring). This information is made available to contributing projects in each phase for research on more detailed questions.

Service for other research projects

  • The core project soil collects information on soil properties and soil related ecosystem functions across all 300 experimental plots (EPs) of the Biodiversity Exploratories
  • Once per 3 years, we organize a large coordinated soil sampling. The soil sampling protocol considers the requirements of all soil related contributing projects. All participating groups work on the same homogenized composite soil samples. Since 2011 the soil sampling considered the mineral soil (0-10 cm) in all 300 EPs and the organic layer in all 150 forested EPs.

Service in the current funding period

In the 6th phase (2020-2023), the core project soil provides the following service:

  • Organisation of a coordinating soil sampling on all 300 EPs and all experimental sites (FOX, REX, LUX) in spring 2021 (had to be postponed due to Covid-19)
  • Maintenance of central soil archive with air dried samples from mineral soil and organic layer (collected in 2006, 2008, 2011, 2014, 2017, 2021) and litter fall (since 2015)
  • Contribution to synthesis activities with data and expertise
Experimental plots
  • Monitoring of soil properties with samples taken during the coordinated soil sampling (pH, Bulk Density, Stone Content, Water Content, Root Content (grasslands), Estimated Clay Content, Stone Content, Soil Organic Carbon, Soil Organic Carbon Stocks, Soil Inorganic Carbon, Total Nitrogen, Total Sulphur, Olsen-extractable P)
  • Monitoring of aboveground litter fall with litter traps being emptied three times per year; Determination of litter fall for branches, twigs, fruits and leaves; CNS analyses of leaf litter
  • Activities of extracellular enzymes involved in the cycling of C, N, S and P (beta-glucosidase, N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase, sulfatase, phosphatase) in samples from all 150 forest EPs.
Forest gap experiment (FOX):
  • Basic characterization of soils in gaps prior to cutting of the trees in winter 2019/20
  • Setup of litter-traps and litter collection on all plots from autumn 2020 onwards
  • Collection of soils from the FOX experiment after cutting the trees in autumn 2020 and spring 2021

Picture: The diagram shows information on the soil textures of the three exploration areas Schorfheide-Chorin, Hainich-Dün and Schwäbische Alb.
Fig. 1: Soil texture strongly affects the water and nutrient cycling in soils and therefore also the plant growth. Results from the 2011 coordinated soil sampling show, that while the Schorfheide-Chorin soils are more sandy, the Hainich-Dün soils are silty to loamy and the Schwäbischer Alb soils are clay rich. There is a huge variation of soil textures in the Schorfheide-Chorin grasslands whereas the variation in soil texture in the Schorfheide-Chorin forests is very low.
Picture: The diagram shows information on the soil textures of the three exploration areas Schorfheide-Chorin, Hainich-Dün and Schwäbische Alb.
Fig. 2: The soil pH values are a strong indicator for biological activity. Our monitoring shows that the soil pH is relatively stable over time. In the Biodiversity Exploratories, pH values in the forest plots increase in the order Schorfheide-Chorin, Hainich-Dün and Schwäbischer Alb. In the grasslands the gradient in pH values is smaller than in forest. However, there is a large shift in variation among regions. We found significantly higher pH variation in the Schorfheide-Chorin and the Schwäbische Alb grasslands compared to the grasslands in the Hainich-Dün.
Picture: The diagram shows information on the carbon stocks in the three exploration areas Schorfheide-Chorin, Hainich-Dün and Schwäbische Alb.
Fig. 3: In the Biodiversity Exploratories, organic carbon stocks in forest and grasslands are monitored since 2011. In 0-10 cm soil depth we found small but significant increases in organic carbon stocks in Schwäbischer Alb (ALB) und Hainich Dün (HAI) since 2011. In Schorfheide-Chorin the carbon stocks decreased probably because of a carbon loss in wetland soils, but the decrease was not significant.
Picture: The diagram shows information on how carbon input from leaf litter and carbon stocks in the forest floor are influenced by region and tree species.
Fig. 4: In the Biodiversity Exploratories, both leaf litter C input and forest floor C stock were significantly affected by region and tree species. However, the effects were much stronger for forest floor C stocks than for leaf litter C input (also see Fig. 7).
Picture: The diagram shows information on the influence of the timber harvest on the carbon stock of the forest.
Fig. 5: We found a weak negative effect of harvesting (SMI d) on leaf litter C inputs which is mediated by the crown projection area. Since leaf litter C inputs are positively related to forest C stocks, harvesting indirectly reduces forest C stocks. However, overall the importance of tree species selection (represented in the Risk component of the forest management intensity index) and the abiotic environment (parent material) for forest floor C stocks is much higher than that of harvesting. 2018 and 2019 spring and summer months were marked by drought conditions and we will study the effect of drought on the interplay between forest management, leaf litter C input and forest floor C stock
Picture: The diagram shows information on the residence time of the carbon stock in the organic layers of the investigated forest sites.
Fig. 6: We found a similar pattern for the C stock in the organic layer and its mean residence time which demonstrates that mean residence time is mainly determined by litter quality and not by differences in litter fall among different forest types.
Picture: The diagram shows information on the residence times of carbon, nitrogen and sulphur in the organic layers of the investigated forest sites.
Fig. 7: The mean residence times (MRT) of C in the organic layer of the forest sites affect the organic carbon storage in the whole soil profile. Mean residence times for C, N and S in organic layers are strongly correlated. A variance partitioning showed that most important for the turnover of C, N and N and S is the quality of the litter which is mainly determined by the tree selection (more analyses needed). A direct impact of the harvesting could not be observed.

The so-called core projects of the BE emerged from the site selection project and the establishment of the exploratories (2006-2008). Since 2008, they have been providing the infrastructure and collecting important basic information on land use, diversity and ecosystem processes (long-term monitoring) for all projects. In addition, they coordinate project-wide activities such as various large-scale experiments.

Picture: The photograph shows a round tall metal tray on a laboratory bench containing twenty-one cylindrical small glass or plastic containers with white screw caps. The containers are filled with soil samples. Next to the containers in the tray is a slip of paper with the word "unground" handwritten on it.
