N2 - © 2016 Elsevier B.V.For many decades in the late 20th century, the processes involved in the formation of soil organic matter (SOM) (also known as humification) constituted one of the most important areas of scientific inquiry in soil science. However, these processes have not been included in modern models of SOM dynamics, despite their relevance to quantifying carbon stabilisation (i.e., sequestration) in soil. Furthermore, modern models have focussed on mineralisation processes (e.g., mainly microbial heterotrophic respiration) and have not included the important effects of soil fauna that are known as key agents of SOM formation. To address these issues, we developed a modelling approach predicated on the existence of definable stoichiometric relations among the processes leading to SOM formation that are mediated by soil biota (e.g., correlations among biotic respiration, production of faunal excrement, and necromass as sources of SOM formation). Soil respiration, a core rate variable in all SOM models,
