reactive transport modeling
Modeling approach that couples transport processes with geochemical reactions to understand subsurface flow and chemical interactions
dormancy model
Biogeochemical model that accounts for moisture-dependent activation and dormancy of distinct microbial communities at different effective saturations
Michaelis-Menten kinetics
Hyperbolic function describing the relationship between nutrient concentrations and nutrient uptake rates by algae
Rayleigh fractionation
Isotopic fractionation model used to quantify progressive sulfate reduction using fractionation factor α=1.030
carbon budget model
Integrative model combining photosynthesis, respiration, and total nonstructural carbohydrate measurements to quantify carbon allocation patterns
first-order kinetics
A simplified kinetic model where reaction rates are proportional to the concentration of a single reactant
