文摘Assuming that decomposition of organic matter in soils follows the first-order kinetics reaction, a computer model was developed to simulate soil organic matter dynamics. Organic matter in soils is divided up into two parts that include incorporated organic carbon from crop residues or other organic fertilizer and soil intrinsic carbon.
