Summary
SOMM - a simulation model of soil organic matter mineralisation, humification and nitrogen release has been further developed. The model takes into account the rate of processes that are dependent upon the nitrogen and ash content of litter fall, temperature and moisture. The activity of the main groups of soil decomposers is reflected in the model. The model represents a system of linear differential equations with variable coefficients.
