✦ Synopsis

Chloride is ubiquitous in soil, but the past years of research have revealed that organic matter also contains chlorine, in amounts similar to that of phosphorus. Hence, one of the major constituents of soil organic matter has previously been overlooked, and still very little is known about the turnover of organic chlorine in soil. In spite of the obvious connection between chloride and organic chlorine, organic chlorine rarely is considered when the biogeochemical cycling of chloride is in focus, and chloride rarely is taken into account when the occurrence and formation of natural organic chlorine compounds are in focus. The aim of the paper is to review ten years of research concerning the biogeochemical cycling of organic chlorine in soil, and to tie the biogeochemical cycling of organic chlorine to that of chloride.

Chloride (Cl inorg ) is generally considered to be a hydrologically and chemically inert substance. Past research suggests that Cl inorg participates in a complex biogeochemical cycle involving the formation of organically bound chlorine (Cl org ). The present study examines whether Cl org cycling i
