Most models for the turnover of soil organic matter (SOM) include a compartment that is
either considered inert, or has a very slow turnover time (refractory SOM; RSOM). The RSOM …

Forested soils are being increasingly transformed to agricultural fields in response to
growing demands for food crop. This modification of the land use is known to result in …

Stocks of soil organic carbon represent a large component of the carbon cycle that may
participate in climate change feedbacks, particularly on decadal and centennial timescales …

Nine soil organic models were evaluated using twelve datasets from seven long-term
experiments. Datasets represented three different land-uses (grassland, arable crop** …

The efficacy of no-till agriculture for increasing C in soils has been questioned in recent
studies. This is a serious issue after many publications and reports during the last two …

In low‐input systems, where most nutrients become available from soil organic matter (SOM)
and residue turnover, the applicability of DSSAT (Decision Support System for …

Decomposition is a large term in the global carbon budget, but models of the earth system
that simulate carbon cycle‐climate feedbacks are largely untested with respect to litter …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) stock is an important component of the global carbon (C) cycle,
which has the potential to influence global climate. In this paper we presented an overview …

A significant fraction of soil organic carbon, named stable organic carbon (C) pool, has
residence times longer than centuries and its vulnerability to land use or climatic changes is …

Predictive, regional use of soil organic matter (SOM) models requires evaluation of the
performance of models with datasets from long‐term experiments relevant to the scenarios …
