German term

Ober- und Unterböden

German to English Tech/Engineering Environment & Ecology Green Roofs
Bei sehr hohen Überdeckungen ist es möglich, natürliche *Ober- und Unterböden* auf einer Dränschicht einzubauen.

I gather this has to do with a classification of soil(?)
Perhaps substrata for Unterböden... just guessing.
TIA,
