Modelling the genesis of equatorial podzols: age and implications for carbon fluxes

Abstract: Abstract. Amazonian podzols store huge amounts of carbon and play a key role in transferring organic matter to the Amazon River. In order to better understand their C dynamics, we modelled the formation of representative Amazonian podzol profiles by constraining both total carbon and radiocarbon. We determined the relationships between total carbon and radiocarbon in organic C pools numerically by setting constant C and 14 C inputs over time. The model was an effective tool for determining the order of magnitu… Show more

“…Although the interest in better quantifying the deep carbon pool and understanding its dynamics was underlined 10 years ago (Rumpel and Kögel-Knabner, 2011), these points remain of interest due to a low amount of existing data. In recent works, deep carbon dynamics were inferred from various types of studies using isotopic tracers such as 13 C or 14 C (Mathieu et al, 2015;Stahl et al, 2016;Doupoux et al, 2017;Balesdent et al, 2018;van der Voort et al, 2019), field measurements (Lucas et al, 2012;Wan et al, 2018;Gibson et al, 2019) and laboratory experiments using column (Guo and Chorover, 2003) or respiration experiments (Fontaine et al, 2007;Lucas et al, 2020). Despite this, little is known about the fluxes and characteristics of organic matter capable of migrating at depth.…”

“…Models with different degrees of complexity have been applied to increase the understanding of pedogenic change and interactions in a variety of soil types. For example, the genesis of equatorial Podzols has been modeled by Doupoux et al (2017) by tracking carbon pools and fluxes with a compartment model. Luvisol development is extensively studied using the models SoilGen and its successor SoilGen2 (Finke and Hutson, 2008;Finke, 2012;Finke et al, 2015;Keyvanshokouhi et al, 2016).…”
