While no consistent relationship was found between SOC and soil physical properties significant relationships were found between the distribution of SOC and the environmental tracers, 137Cs and 210Pb. Finite element simulations based on a diffusion/convection/decay model showed that the transport of 137Cs and 210Pb down the soil profile is likely to be driven by the same (primarily diffusive) processes. The same model used in conjunction with plant input and decay data generated from the RothC-26.3 soil carbon model revealed that transport of SOC down the soil profile, while also a diffusion process, was significantly slower indicating that different processes and/or pathways are involved in SOC transport at this site.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:27:46 AEDT ]]>
