Description

A mathematical model (MOMOS) describing the evolution of different carbon pools in soils (plant debris, microbial biomass, labile and stable humidified fractions) is presented. MOMOS was built from experimental long term incubation data (C and -1-4C of labelled mature wheat straw). The formulation of the model is simple and was tested with 2, 3 and 5 compartments. The predictions are in agreement with the data. It simulates the organic matter concentration in two contrasting soils. (authors). 15 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab
