de oberer Teil eines natürlichen Bodens, gewöhnlich von dunkler Farbe und mit einem im Vergleich zu den darunter liegenden (mineralischen) Horizonten höheren Gehalt an organischer Substanz und Nährstoffen, ausgenommen Humus. Note: Bei Ackerland bezieht sich Oberboden auf die gepflügte Bodentiefe, während er sich bei Weideland auf die Bodenschicht mit hoher Durchwurzelung bezieht.
fr partie supérieure d'un sol naturel, généralement de couleur foncée et contenant plus de matières organiques et de nutriments que les horizons (minéraux) sous-jacents, en excluant la couche d'humus. Note: Pour les sols cultivés, l'horizon superficiel correspond à la profondeur de sol labouré; pour les prairies, il s'agit de la couche de sol contenant une quantité importante de racines.
