TL;DR: Key challenges in modeling soil processes are identified, including the systematic incorporation of heterogeneity and uncertainty, the integration of data and models, and strategies for effective integration of knowledge on physical, chemical, and biological soil processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling carbon and nitrogen dynamics in a bare soil with and without straw incorporation
TL;DR: In this paper, a mechanistic and one-dimensional model of transport and biotransformation (PASTIS) was used to simulate the dynamics of carbon and nitrogen in agricultural fields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Root clumping may affect the root water potential and the resistance to soil-root water transport
TL;DR: In this article, three root spatial arrangements were studied, simulating either the regular pattern generally assumed in models, or two degrees of root clumping frequently observed in the field, and the results placed doubt on the generality of the view that soil resistance is low under common field conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fate of nitrogen and carbon in the vadose zone: in situ and laboratory measurements of seasonal variations in aerobic respiratory and denitrifying activities
TL;DR: In this article, in situ and laboratory measurements of aerobic respiratory and denitrifying activities were studied in the vadose zone (almost 2.5 m thick) of a fluvic hypercalcaric cambisol characterized by transitory anaerobic conditions.
