保存在有机质中的大量太阳能作为从初级生产到矿化的管道通过土壤。土壤（微生物）正在引导这种流动，由所提供的能量提供燃料，并通过它们的生物和坏死体做出贡献。热力学原理一般适用于地球系统，因此也适用于土壤。因此，我们需要考虑与土壤中碳利用、生物群落结构和环境边界条件相关的微生物组的能量使用和维持（能量预算）。土壤系统计划是第2223号计划的协调计划，将透过组织跨学科的知识交流和合作、土壤和基质的提供、数据的收集和整理、综合和建模，为在该计划进行研究提供科学和组织框架。这是由一个协调小组完成的，由一个协调助理支持，处理a)科学进展和B) spp2322的组织管理。A) SoilSystems旨在通过热力学概念将土壤视为能量驱动系统，从而扩大土壤研究。该项目将应用一个系统概念，将吉布斯能量和产热变化的平衡与(i)有机质周转（质量平衡、保留、途径、化学计量学、动力学）和（ii）微生物组（活性、功能特征、营养相互作用）联系起来。《土壤系统》将重点关注尚不为人所知的碳和能源利用效率（CUE， EUE）的微生物过程，这些过程沿着能源利用通道驱动有机质，从而将容易降解的碎屑分子转化为微生物生物量，最终转化为长期稳定的坏死块。这一概念将应用于一系列合作核心项目，利用土壤孵化实验和同位素标记的基质，确定能量供应和分子结构，以评估损失、效率以及能量和物质保留模式。其目的是将基于热力学的分析和概念建模与时间和空间分辨采样相结合。土壤系统将为理解陆地生态系统中的能量保留和元素循环提供重要的一步。因此，SoilSystems旨在回答一个关键问题：是什么驱动了土壤中以碳周转和储存为例的能量和物质的综合通量——微生物群、能量输入、矿物和（环境）边界条件，或所有这些因素的相互作用？B)优化SPP 2322的合作研究，所有参与项目将受益于中央管理。土壤、基质和量热仪将通过一个共同的实验平台提供。数据在联合数据存储库中存储和共享。研究由促进外部合作和墨卡托研究员支持。项目会议邀请进行讨论和演示。最后，具体措施将使男女平等充分参与研究和学术事业

Large fluxes of solar energy conserved in organic matter (OM) pass through soil as conduit from primary production to mineralisation. Soil (micro)organisms are channelling the flux, are fuelled by the provided energy, and contribute by their bio- and necromass. Thermodynamic principles are generally valid for the Earth System, and thus also for soils. Hence, we need to consider the energy use and maintenance (energy budgets) of microbiomes related to carbon use, biocoenotic structures and environmental boundary conditions in soil. SoilSystems as the coordination project of SPP 2223 will provide the scientific and organisational framework for conducting research in the SPP by organizing interdisciplinary knowledge exchange and collaboration, soil and substrate provision, data collection and refinement, synthesis and modelling. This is done by a coordination panel supported by a coordination assistant dealing with A) the scientific progress and B) the organizational management of SPP 2322.A) SoilSystems aims to widen soil research by considering soils as energy driven systems by including thermodynamics concepts. The project will apply a systemic concept for linking balances of changes of Gibbs energy and heat production to (i) OM turnover (mass balances, retention, pathways, stoichiometry, kinetics) and (ii) to the microbiome (activity, functional traits, trophic interactions). SoilSystems will focus on poorly understood microbial processes of carbon and energy use efficiency (CUE, EUE) that drive OM along energy use channels, thereby converting easily degradable detritus molecules to microbial biomass and finally long-term stabilised necromass. This concept will be applied in a set of collaborative core-projects using soil incubation experiments and isotope labelled substrates with defined energy supply and molecular structures in order to evaluate losses, efficiencies, and the modes of energy and matter retention. It is aimed to combine thermodynamics based analyses and conceptual modelling with time and space resolved sampling. SoilSystems will provide a substantial step forward in understanding energy retention and element cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Thereby, SoilSystems aims to answer the key-question: What drives the combined energy and matter fluxes in soil exemplified by carbon turnover and storage - the microbiome, the energy input, the mineral and (environmental) boundary conditions, or interactions of all? B) To optimize cooperative research in SPP 2322 all participating projects will benefit from the central management. Soils, substrates and instrumentation for calorimetry will be provided through a common experimental platform. Data are stored and shared on a joint data repository. Research is supported by promoting external cooperation and a Mercator fellow. Project meetings invite for discussion and presentation. Not last specific measures will enable gender equality for full participation in research and academic career
