Abstract:Previously we have proposed a continuous model of soil organic matter (SOM) transformation which was based on describing only the most general notions of this process -a gradual increase in SOM stability toward transformation, occurring concurrently with partial decomposition of SOM. The model provided qualitative description of vertical SOM distributions in different soils. In the present study this model has been modified to make the description more realistic. The study demonstrates quantitative corresponde… Show more
