Radiocarbon analysis reveals underestimation of soil organic carbon persistence in new-generation soil models
Abstract 14 C observations. In this study, we evaluate five influential and actively developed new-generation models (CORPSE, MEND, Millennial, MIMICS, SOMic) with fraction-specific and bulk soil 14 C measurements of 77 mineral topsoil profiles in the International Soil Radiocarbon Database (ISRaD). We find that all five models consistently overestimate the 14 C content (Δ 14 Δ 14 14 C measurements for parameter calibration and may even suggest that some new-generation models might need to restructure or further subdivide their simulated carbon pools in order to accurately reproduce SOC dynamics.
