With this topical issue, we present the work of the Priority Program 1090 of the German Research Foundation ("Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft DFG"): "Soils as a source and sink for CO₂ - mechanisms and regulation of organic matter stabilisation in soils". This introduction gives an overview on the sites investigated and the major research approaches, including a glossary of major terms used in the field of soil organic matter research. We point out the advantages of integration of data from a broad field of different soil-science disciplines and the progress achieved by application and combination of new analytical methods describing the quality and turnover of soil organic matter.
