abstract = {Soil organic matter (SOM) accumulation is different in
certain soil groups with differences in parent material,
degree of weathering and mineral composition. These
differences are modulated by climatic factors, but also by
pedogenesis, in particular by the formation of reactive
mineral surfaces, by soil aggregation, as well as by
translocation processes such as eluviation and illuviation
and different types of turbation. However, there is still a
lack of conceptualization of how such processes and thus
important Reference Soil Groups influence the composition
and properties of OM. Here we summarize the basic processes
of OM storage as they differ from soil group to soil group,
in order to present a first overview of the processes of OM
formation in the different terrestrial soils of the world.
We distinguish between soils of different climatic zones,
i.e. Cryosols in permafrost regions, soils of limited
development (Cambisols), Podzols, Phaeozems, Chernozems,
Kastanozems, and Luvisols in temperate climate zones, as
well as Acrisols, Ferralsols, Plinthosols and Nitisols in
the subtropics and tropics. We also include soils derived
from a specific parent material (Andosols, Vertisols), as
well as Anthrosols (paddy soils, Terra Preta, plaggen soils)
as examples for human-made SOM accumulations. The
compilation of the literature shows that research on OM is
clearly focused on specific Reference Soil Groups in
temperate climate zones and some man-made soils, while other
soils such as Nitisols and Acrisols are clearly
underrepresented. The contribution of the different soil
groups to global organic carbon (OC) stocks varies, with
large amounts of OC found for the first metre in Cryosols,
Cambisols, and Podzols, due to the large land area they
cover, followed by Acrisols and Ferralsols. In part, these
differences can be attributed to differences in the
formation of SOM, which we ascribe to three main mechanisms.
We emphasize that in all major Reference Soil Groups, both
the mechanism of sorptive conservation as well as the
protection within the aggregates contribute to the storage
of OM. However, the reactant partners and aggregate forming
agents and therewith the intensity of these stabilisation
processes vary among the Reference Soil Groups. As a result,
there are differences in the SOM composition in the topsoil.
Within the entire soil profile, however, pedogenic processes
lead as third mechanism to soil-group-specific accrual of
SOM in the subsoil, e.g. by means of illuviation, by
cryo-/bio-, and peloturbation, as well as by management. We
conclude that the specific pedogenic environment must be
considered in the assessment of global SOM storage
potentials and thus also in future global C models.},
