Research Abstract |
The possibility for introducing stress-factors that could modify the soil organic matter dynamics under humid regions was tested. Two-step decomposition model including both solubilization and mineralization processes in the decomposition of polysaccharides and two-step metabolism by soil microorganisms in substrate utilization were evaluated positively in quantifying influence of stress factors such as soil acidity on the processes ; and the Michaelis-Menten kinetics was successfully applied for describing individual decomposition processes. The soil acidity was considered to be one of most important factors that significantly affected both processes.
