Carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) transformations are highly interdependent, driven by the C metabolism. Though many details of the transformations of C and N forms in soil are well known, basic knowledge about the mechanisms determining substrate availability, and the chemical and physical properties determining the stabilisation of organic matter are still lacking. The soil biota furthermore constitutes an extremely complex food web, consisting of a vast number of bacteria, fungi and fauna species, each having their own feeding preferences and characteristic life cycle. A good quantitative description of the main processes involved is required. This involves both the long-term build-up and degradation of soil organic matter, and the more short-termed N... |

A computer model is presented, which describes the transformations of C and N in the soil. The development has been divided into two interdependent tasks, the first being development of long-term SOC simulation capabilities, and the second being short-term simulations of C and N, as described in this paper. A number of existing, independent laboratory experiments, covering a range of amendments, have been used for this task. The amendments includes a variety of different crop residues and animal manure. These experiments have included measurements of 13C, 14C and 15N in various pools, and the model facilitates the simulation of these isotopes. Non-linear, automated optimisation procedures were utilised wherever feasible. The model generally yielded good... |
