Abstract:
Windows-based simulation model describing the decompostion and turnover
of organic matter in the soil. It predicts the organic matter status each
year resulting from a certain annual input of crop residue into the soil,allowing
the student to explore the approach of the soil t equilibrium. Shows the
amount of carbon in each of 5 organic matter fractions, total soil carbon
and CO2 production as a function of time.
