Kinetic Effects of Microbial Population Size

The second key assumption that models make is that microbial processes are never limited by the size of the microbial population. This assumption is clearly stated by Chertov and Komarov (1996) in their discussion of the SOMM model  [Pg.178]

The number and species composition of decomposing organisms is dependent on the biochemical properties of organic debris and on hydrological and thermal conditions. [Pg.178]

We postulate that there are no barriers for a rapid invasion of new organisms. Thus, it is possible to calculate the decompo- [Pg.178]

Finlay ct al. (1997) state the same idea even more bluntly  [Pg.179]

The assumption that microbial communities will always rapidly adapt to the available environment and substrate supply is a fundamental assumption in using first order kinetics, as in Kq. (1). Most biogeochemical processes arc catalyzed, however, and cat-alv/.ed reactions invariably show. Michaelis- Menten kinetics. [Pg.179]
