Abstract:

a) Description of the decomposition of plant and animal debris

Decomposition of plant and animal debris described by a single pool obtained by fitting C release in an incubation experiment

b) Description of the decomposition of soil organic matter

Decomposition of soil organic matter described by multiple pools as follows:

c) Factors assumed to affect organic matter decomposition

d) Soil layers used in the model

The model divides the soil into 20 layers as follows:
