Remarkable export of DOC due to low absorption capacity of organic soils causes concern, because DOC impairs water quality and leads to emission of climate gases after its decomposition. Concentration and export of DOC is influenced by season, abiotic soil characteristics and land use. Production and consumption of DOC is determined by the vitality of soil microbes, which is in turn controlled by temperature, water and pH. Unlike to laboratory experiments, in field experiments correlation of DOC concentration and abiotic soil parameters is often not detectable. Obviously, further parameters have to be taken into account. DOC export is largely controlled by hydrology. Anthropogenic impacts (draining of peatlands) are leading to an accumulation of DOC in soil solution, which is reason for a strong decrease in DOC losses after rewetting. In general, the knowledge of drivers regulating DOC is not sufficient.}, note = { \url {http://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gldocs-11858/7301}}, }
