Soil and Vegetation

Information on the response of taxa to climate and the feedback between vegetation and soil nutrient availability should be synthesized and used to construct computer models operating at the same scale as GCM output 61). Such models should be able to do the following ...

In addition to being the enzymatic agents of biotic decomposition of SOM, microbial cell by-products are increasingly recognized as major building blocks of SOM. As a result, the microbial community, controlled by climate, vegetation, and soil environment, is a key mediator of organic matter composition and decomposition. The spatial scales of influence, however, have not been well characterized.
