Sensitivity analysis of six soil organic matter models applied to the decomposition of animal manures and crop residues

Two features distinguishing soil organic matter simulation models are the type of kinetics used to calculate pool decomposition rates, and the algorithm used to handle the effects of nitrogen (N) shortage on carbon (C) decomposition. Compared to widely used first-order kinetics, Monod kinetics more...
