Abstract: |
This work deals
with the implementation of a soil organic matter model in an individual-based
modeling framework. The simulator INDISIM-SOM models the dynamics of carbon and nitrogen related to soil organic matter and the soil
microbial activity by using a discrete simulation. This simulation model
controls the activity of group of microbial cells in a space divided into square
cells where amounts of different types of organic compounds are also
controlled. Different metabolic pathways and sources of C and N the
microorganisms can use are identified. INDISIM-SOM deals with the mineralization
and nitrification of C and N and, the activity of heterotrophic
microorganisms and nitrifier bacteria. The
calibration of the simulation model has made use of data from laboratory
incubation experiments performed on three different types of Mediterranean
soils. |
