Simulating microbial degradation of organic matter in a simple porous system using the 3-D diffusion-based model MOSAIC

This paper deals with the simulation of microbial degradation of organic matter in soil within the pore space at a microscopic scale. Pore space was analysed with micro-computed tomography and described using a sphere network coming from a geometrical modelling algorithm. The biological model was im...
