SoilFract: A mechanistic model accounting for the fate of exogenous organic matter in soil carbon and nitrogen cycles

Résumé

As its use in agriculture grows, the fate of digestate in soil raises concerns on many different levels. In particular, the degradability of its organic matter when spread on soil is still an ongoing topic. In an effort to better understand the processes and dynamics of digestate soil incubation, C and N mineralization kinetics obtained in 358 days long laboratory incubations during decomposition of digestates were simulated using a dynamic model. The model includes twelve compartments related through processes including 18 parameters. The main novelty of this model is the use of accessibility-related variables to describe the fate of exogenous organic matter in soil, thus enabling a detailed understanding of its outcome in soil. Model calibration on cattle manure digestate incubation resulted in the estimation of parameter values. The newly calibrated model was then tested on an energy crop digestate incubation experiment. The model was able to reproduce accurately the experimental behavior of most variables.
