German term or phrase: Einstellung
Context:

"Auf Grund der Ergebnissen von bekannten Dauerversuchen ist zu erwartedn, dass bis zur Einstellung eines klima- und bodenbedingten Humusspiegels der Kohlenstoffgehalt ansteigt, sich dann aber kaum noch verändert und die zugeführte organische Substanz fast ständig mineralisiert wird."

The previous sentence reads:
"Die starke Erhöhung der Gesamtkohlenstoffgehalte könnte darin begründet sein, dass im Jahr 1959 Sommerweizen in zweiter Tracht angebaut wurder, zur Probenahme 1962 aber Zuckerrüben in Stallmist gestanden hatten.

(until the humus level) has stabilized...


Explanation:
"....until the humus level has stabilized based on climate and soil conditions."

In English, a verbal phrase often sounds better than a noun phrase.
